This study examined neurophysiologic correlates of the perception of native and nonnative phonetic categories. Behavioral and electrophysiologic responses were obtained from Hindi and English listeners in response to a stimulus continuum of naturally produced, bilabial CV stimuli that differed in VOT from -90 to 0 ms.…

Linguistic concepts of the principles and rule systems composing language are instantiated in the models known as grammars. These grammars, typically generative in format, are descriptions of those representatives of universal rule processes found in the particular language being described. Many psycholinguists are now…

BACKGROUND: Effectively managing epilepsy in children necessitates the active engagement of parents, a factor that is reliant on their understanding of this neurological disorder. Widely available, high-quality, patient-focused, bilingual videos describing topics important for managing epilepsy are limited. YouTube Ana…

The traditional education system has obvious limitations, relying on civics curriculum to cultivate and spread the national spirit. By analyzing the characteristics and goals of English courses under the new media, actively forming a large-scale ideological and political education model, and encouraging the innovation…

We thank Professor Culebras Fernandez his letter and his praise to the content of our recently published narrative review on percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy. A systematic review of the literature would have required a search in multiple languages, as we recently did for other research. Aware of the diffusivity of E…

Children must possess some ability to process input in a meaningful manner to acquire language. The present study reports on data from an experiment investigating 3- to 5-year-old English-speaking children's understanding of restrictive relative clauses manipulated for embeddedness and focus. The results of the study s…

This article explores deaf college students' knowledge of English wh-question formation in the context of government-binding theory and an associated learnability theory. The parameters of universal grammar (UG) that are relevant to wh-question formation are identified, and predictions are made regarding the learning o…

Measurements of height, weight and triceps skinfold thickness were obtained from English and Scottish schoolchildren from 15 birth cohorts over the period 1972-1980. Positive trends in weight were found for boys and girls in both countries, but in England they were less than expected from the increases in height. The i…

The title is the epitome as well as a most important part of an article. An effective title is required to be concise, informative and sensitive to electronic retrieval. In writing an English title for an andrological paper, the Chinese author should have a good knowledge of their basic requirements, functional types,…

In English, odds ratio is a basic epidemiological measure approximating the relative risk. Odds ratio has been translated into Spanish in several ways, which has produced great terminological confusion. On the other hand, the English word odds is often used in epidemiology or statistics English textbooks, alone or as p…

AIM: To systematically analyze the current status, hotspots, and frontiers of Chinese and international studies on newly graduated nurses and to inform subsequent research. METHODS: We searched the Web of Science Core Collection and China National Knowledge Infrastructure for literature on newly graduated nurses from…

Socioeconomic factors have been associated with an increased need for manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to compare the rate of MUA and range of motion (ROM) following primary TKA in English and non-English-speaking patients. The authors conducted…

The present study extends previous research reporting that orthographic forms, such as the use of a single letter or two letters to indicate the same sound, affect sound duration in second-language (L2) production. Native-language (L1) Korean L2 English sequential bilinguals performed a delayed repetition task for word…

Adjectives in English and Mandarin are typically prenominal, but the corresponding grammatical rules vary in subtle ways. Our event-related potential (ERP) study shows that native speakers of both languages rely on similar processing mechanisms when reading sentences with anomalous noun-adjective order (e.g., the vase…

OBJECTIVE: Genetic counselling is essential for individuals seeking genetic or genomic testing. Whereas innovative strategies for GC delivery are being explored to meet the growing demand on the clinical genetics workforce, it is essential to consider the unique needs of culturally and linguistically diverse population…

With the rapid development of computer technology, the loss of long-distance information in the transmission process is a prominent problem faced by English machine translation. The self-attention mechanism is combined with convolutional neural network (CNN) and long-term and short-term memory network (LSTM). An Englis…

Qualitative studies are a valuable approach to exploratory research. Frequently, researchers are required to collect data in languages other than English, which requires a translation process for the results to be communicated to a wider audience. However, language-embedded meaning can be lost in the translation proces…

The English language has evolved dramatically throughout its lifespan, to the extent that a modern speaker of Old English would be incomprehensible without translation. One concrete indicator of this process is the movement from irregular to regular (-ed) forms for the past tense of verbs. In this study we quantify the…

Spatial metaphors are used to represent and reason about time. Such metaphors are typically arranged along the sagittal axis in most languages. For example, in English, "The future lies ahead of us" and "We look back on our past." This is less straightforward for Chinese. Specifically, both the past and future can eith…

A reading acceleration program known to improve reading fluency in Hebrew-speaking adults was tested for its effect on children. Eighty-nine Hebrew- and English-speaking children with reading difficulties were divided into a waiting list group and two training groups (Hebrew and English) and underwent 4 weeks of r…
