In series three studies, we investigated eliciting scenarios, ingredients, appraisal patterns, feeling qualities, the affective signature moved related states. great majority scenarios can be assigned significant relationship critical life events (especially death, birth, marriage, separation, reunion)....
This study explored the organization of semantic field and conceptual structure moving experiences by investigating German-language expressions referring to emotional state being moved. We used present past participles eight psychological verbs as primes in a free word-association task, these grammatical forms place their focus on eliciting situation felt state, respectively. By applying taxonomy basic knowledge types computing Cognitive Salience Index, we identified joy sadness key...
In the present review paper by members of collaborative research center "Register: Language Users' Knowledge Situational-Functional Variation" (CRC 1412), we assess pervasiveness register phenomena across different time periods, languages, modalities, and cultures. We define "register" as recurring variation in language use depending on function social situation. Informed rich data, aim to better understand model knowledge involved situation- function-based register. order achieve this goal,...
This article investigates the acquisition of pronominal resolution as a process instantiated at syntax–discourse interface. Based on current psycholinguistic proposals concerning gradual development from more context-driven towards linguistically constrained representation discourse referents, we conducted an experimental study investigating impact antecedent properties animacy and syntactic role personal demonstrative pronouns. Participants were 3- 5-year-old monolingual German-...
Clitic clusters display a complicated interaction of prosodic and syntactic properties which determines their word order stress patterns. In Bulgarian, short pronouns appear as unstressed verbal enclitics in positive utterances. Proclitic negation attracts the forms with them unit stressed on second syllable, pronoun. Theoretical linguistics characterizes behaviour object clitics terms "non-trivial chains" (Bošković 2001) containing copies. The overt realisation higher or lower copy depends...
Abstract Implicit causality of interpersonal transitive verbs (IC) pertains to preferences attribute the cause a given action subject or object referent in active clauses. Causal attribution is operationalized as probability referential continuation subsequent explanatory clause. This paper presents an explorative investigation into causal biases verbs, which contrast affective have received less attention IC research. We approach implicit discourse level phenomenon based on textual...
The present paper evaluates the processes of reading acquisition in Latin from component-skills approach and discusses how advances modern foreign languages could be adapted to specific needs as a historical language. Compared holistic socially embedded approaches language acquisition, grammar-translation method traditionally used schools shows considerable weaknesses development basic skills Latin. Therefore, we address possible advantages corpus-based teaching strategies Machina Callida,...
Abstract We analyzed the conversational corpora of two German and English children to investigate how different use types adversative connectives aber but influence probability monologically versus dialogically constructed utterances in first year use. Our findings show that produce mainly dialogic structures for illocutionary theme-management purposes, lead a distribution monologic clause combinations. The results suggest realizations as function text type must be considered when describing...
