Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce mémoire vise une meilleure identification et une meilleure compréhension des processus mnésiques et linguistiques qui sous-tendent l'apprentissage de nouveaux mots chez des enfants présentant un déficit de la mémoire à court terme (MCT) verbale. Pour ce faire, une étude empirique a été menée auprès d'enfants de niveau primaire, âgés de 7 à 12 ans (n=16), sélectionnés sur la base d'une atteinte au facteur mémoire de travail (MdT) de leur échelle d'intelligence. Leur performance a été comparée à celle d'un groupe témoin apparié (n=32). Cette étude comprend une tâche expérimentale d'apprentissage de nouveaux mots permettant de mesurer respectivement les capacités d'apprentissage lexical, sémantique et lexico-sémantique. À cela s'ajoute une évaluation approfondie du profil cognitif des participants s'appuyant sur les modèles récents de la MCT verbale qui identifient des processus de base impliqués dans la réalisation de tâches de MCT verbale soit : l'activation temporaire de connaissances langagières (phonèmes, mots, sens) en mémoire à long terme (MLT) et l'encodage de l'ordre sériel des items langagiers permettant le maintien des informations à mémoriser. Les résultats révèlent que les enfants du groupe expérimental réussissent moins bien que les enfants du groupe témoin la condition d'apprentissage lexical. Cette difficulté serait attribuable à la capacité de traitement de l'ordre sériel. Cette étude révèle également que pour les deux groupes, la connaissance des aspects sémantiques d'un nouveau mot ne facilite pas l'apprentissage de sa forme lexicale. Cependant, malgré un apprentissage lexical plus faible, les enfants du groupe expérimental présentent une courbe d'apprentissage qualitativement similaire à celle des enfants du groupe témoin. Ce profil d'apprentissage suggère la présence chez ces enfants d'une MCT fonctionnelle, mais moins efficace. Ces données appuient l'hypothèse proposée par Hulme & Snowling (2009) selon laquelle les enfants avec ou sans problème développementaux évoluent sur un même continuum. De manière générale, ce mémoire a permis d'évaluer l'apport d'une nouvelle tâche d'apprentissage au design novateur et celui d'une conceptualisation récente de la MCT verbale dans l'évaluation et la compréhension du profil cognitif des enfants en difficulté d'apprentissage du langage. Ce mémoire démontre aussi l'importance du développement des connaissances relatives à la neuropsychologie du développement cognitif et linguistique de l'enfant. Une meilleure identification des processus cognitifs impliqués dans le développement du langage devrait permettre une meilleure identification et une prise en charge mieux adaptée des problèmes langagiers pouvant survenir durant l'enfance. Mots-clés : Mémoire à court terme verbale, Modèle de MCT, MCT de l'information ordre sériel, MCT de l'information item, apprentissage lexico-sémantique, remédiation de la MdT.

This book was released on 2004-05-28 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume contains a selection of papers, both theoretical and empirical, from the European Society for Translation Studies (EST) Congress held in Copenhagen in September 2001. The EST Congresses, held every three years in a different country, reflect current ideas, theories and studies covering the whole range of "Translation", both oral and written, and the papers collected here, authored by both experienced and young translation scholars, provide an up-to-date picture of some concerns in the field. Topics covered include translation universals, linguistic approaches to translation, translation strategies, quality and assessment issues, screen translation, the translation of humor, terminological issues, translation and related professions, translation and ideology, language brokering by children, Robert Schumann’s relation to translation, directionality in translation and interpreting, community interpreting in Italy, issues in interpreting for refugees, notes in consecutive interpreting, interpreting prosody, and frequent weaknesses in translation papers in the context of the editorial process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1987. The purpose of this volume has been to move beyond a collection of the most recent studies in the area of vocabulary learning. The contributors, and researchers who, although they may differ in their views on vocabulary acquisition and instruction, acknowledge that many of the same questions motivate their work. These questions and the way they have addressed have been included in order to emphasize these underlying commonalities, with the hope the relationships among contrasting perspectives will become more apparent.

Download or read book The linguistic integration of adult migrants from one country to another from one language to another written by Council of Europe and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The linguistic integration of migrants affects every aspect of settling in a new country (employment, health, etc.). The aim of this collection of texts is to propose a number of specific measures member states can take to help adult migrants become acquainted with the language of the host country. The main focus is on organising language courses that meet migrants’ real communication needs. It is not enough for authorities simply to consider the technical aspects of such courses, they should also design and conduct them in accordance with the fundamental values of the Council of Europe. A number of issues concerning the linguistic integration of adult migrants are presented here, beginning with the notion of linguistic integration itself. Family reunion, the nature of citizenship and the function of language tests, among others, are dealt with from the point of view of language and language use. Readers are invited to reflect on the type of language competences that need to be acquired as well as an appropriate use of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The collection also sets out approaches and instruments designed to assist in implementing effective policies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book describes computational models of reading, or models that simulate and explain the mental processes that support the reading of text. The book provides introductory chapters on both reading research and computer models. The central chapters of the book then review what has been learned about reading from empirical research on four core reading processes: word identification, sentence processing, discourse representation, and how these three processes are coordinated with visual processing, attention, and eye-movement control. These central chapters also review an influential sample of computer models that have been developed to explain these key empirical findings, as well as comparative analyses of those models. The final chapter attempts to integrate this empirical and theoretical work be both describing a new comprehensive model of reading, Über-Reader, and reporting several simulations to illustrate how the model accounts for many of the basic phenomena related to reading"--
Download or read book On the Death and Life of Languages written by Claude Hagège and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-five languages die each year; at this pace, half the world’s five thousand languages will disappear within the next century. In this timely book, Claude Hagège seeks to make clear the magnitude of the cultural loss represented by the crisis of language death. By focusing on the relationship of language to culture and the world of ideas, Hagège shows how languages are themselves crucial repositories of culture; the traditions, proverbs, and knowledge of our ancestors reside in the language we use. His wide-ranging examination covers all continents and language families to uncover not only how languages die, but also how they can be revitalized—for example in the remarkable case of Hebrew. In a striking metaphor, Hagège likens languages to bonfires of social behavior that leave behind sparks even after they die; from these sparks languages can be rekindled and made to live again.

Download or read book Handbook of Multilingualism and Multiculturalism written by Geneviève Zarate and published by Archives contemporaines. This book was released on 2011 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Built around the concept of linguistic and cultural plurality, this book defines language as an instrument of action and symbolic power. Plurality is conceived here as : a complex array of voices, perspectives and approaches that seeks to preserve the complexity of the multilingual and multicultural enterprise, including language learning and teaching ; a coherent system of relationships among various languages, research traditions and research sites that informs qualitative methods of inquiry into multilingualism and its uses in everyday life ; a view of language as structured sociohistorical object, observable from several simultaneous spatiotemporal standpoints, such as that of daily interactions or that which sustains the symbolic power of institutions. This book is addressed to teacher trainers, young researchers, decision makers, teachers concerned with the role of languages in the evolution of societies and educational systems. It aims to elicit discussion by articulating practices, field observations and analyses based on a multidisciplinary conceptual framework.
Download or read book Linguistic Perspectives on Second Language Acquisition written by Susan M Gass and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1989-09-29 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores how a second language is acquired and what learners must do in order to achieve proficiency. The hardback edition is a collection of original essays that approaches second language acquisition from a linguistic rather than a sociological, psychological, or purely pedagogical perspective. A wide range of viewpoints and approaches is represented. However, all authors agree on the fundamental importance of linguistic theory in the study of second language acquisition. Few works have explored in depth how a second language is acquired and what the second language learner must do mentally to achieve proficiency in another language. The essays in this book provide an incisive analysis of these questions. For greater accessibility, the chapters are arranged topically from those covering the broad area of theories of acquisition to those focusing specifically on syntax, semantics, pragmatics, lexicon, and phonology in another language.
