Teaching Pronunciation Communicatively to Cape Verdean English Language Learners: Sao Vicente Variety
… on pronunciation but it gives importance to grammar learning. As a result students show several difficulties in pronunciation which, although these are recognized by teacher, are nevertheless ignored in the teaching process. This paper primarily explains the phonological systems of English …

Software Library for Generative Model Applications
The generation of data by machine learning models is a powerful concept that has impacted the field of Artificial Intelligence in the past few years. In this thesis, we focus on building a software library to facilitate the workflow, evaluation, and analysis of generative models. Our work is …

Loanwords and the perceptual map : a perspective from MaxEnt Learning
… the predictions of two computational models of grammar within the domain of loanword phonology. These models, formulated within a Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) framework, have been shown to be successful when simulating the effects that a substantive bias such as the Perceptual Map (PMap) hypothesis …

A Time-Series Analysis Of Implicit Learning And Tacit Knowledge And The Heuristic Value Of Methods Used To Substantiate The Cognitive Unconscious
… of debate persist in the field of implicit learning (il): (1) whether learning and the subsequent knowledge acquired during artificial grammar learning (agl) tasks are best characterized as conscious or unconscious, (2) whether the acquired knowledge is bound more to physical characteristics …

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SOCIAL MEDIA ACTIVITIES ON TAIWANESE UNDERGRADUATES' EFL GRAMMAR ACHIEVEMENT
… to compare the effects of social media language learning activities with traditional language learning activities on the development of L2 grammatical competence in two English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classes at a Taiwanese university. The study was grounded in four bodies of knowledge: (a) …

Biased learning of phonological alternations
What is the initial state of the grammar when children begin to figure out patterns of phonological alternations? This thesis documents the developmental stages of children acquiring Korean verb and noun paradigms, and provides a unified account using the initial Output-Output correspondence …

Reinterpreting selective impairments in memory: computational and empirical simulations of dissociations in amnesia
… 5 derived a novel prediction from artificial grammar learning, predicting a non-dissociation between string completion and recognition. The mixed results provide some support for a single-system account of memory and opens opportunities for future work. I argue that the analysis is best …

The Impact of Cognitive Processes on Input Enhancement Techniques: studying Chinese Students with English as their Second Language
… rules aimed at facilitating gender pronoun grammar structures in English as a second language. Previous research on visual input enhancement has found mixed effects, and there is a scarcity of audio enhancement research thereby requiring more empirical studies. The relationship with …

Learning Language (with) Grammars: From Teaching Latin to Learning Domain-Specific Grammars
This thesis describes work in three areas: grammar engineering, computer-assisted language learning and grammar learning. These three parts are connected by the concept of a grammar-based language learning application. Two types of grammars are of concern. The first we call resource grammars, …

Explicit Grammar Instruction and the Acquisition of Second Language Verbal Morphology: A Framework for Generalized Learning in Second Language Acquisition
… between competence-based and generalized learning processes. Within this framework, competence-based learning is theorized to employ inductive learning processes to acquire a basic set of skills designed to solve an evolutionarily static set of problems, while generalized learning is …

USING NEUROCOGNITIVE THEORY TO DEVELOP A NEW APPROACH FOR TEACHING GERMAN GRAMMAR The Effect of Color-Coding German Grammar on Language Acquisition
… color coding has an effect on second language learning, in particular on learning German grammatical features, by using neurocognitive theory to develop a new approach for teaching German grammar. The experiment was conducted in two separate environments, one in a natural setting of a regular …

Implicit Learning of Semantic Preferences
… examines the phenomenon of semantic implicit learning, using semantic preferences of novel verbs as a test case. Implicit learning refers to the phenomenon of learning without intending to learn or awareness that one is learning at all. Semantic preference (or selectional preference – as …
