Communication mode use in the dyadic conversational speech of adolescent simultaneous communication (SC)-trained hearing-impaired twin boys was investigated. Proportional frequencies of modes and the English structural characteristics of the spoken components of utterances produced in each mode were examined. The resul…

The case histories of 50 children who required tracheal intubation for epiglottitis or croup in two English regions have been reviewed. The incidence of severe croup was different in the two regions. The presentation of epiglottitis was variable, and the correct diagnosis was frequently made only at laryngoscopy. Unexp…

In 1978, 12 million flights arose from nations where English is a foreign language. From these, crash-deaths averaged 200 per million flights. The Aerospace Linguistic Foundation is incorporated to further cooperative evolution of a suitable speech for universal air use as envisaged by I.C.A.O. The language is called U…

The lack of high-quality multimodal resources for low-resource languages such as Bangla poses significant challenges for vision-language research, image captioning, and accessibility technologies. To address this gap, this study introduces ShilpoBangla, a curated dataset comprising 1200 images representing Bengali cult…

Limited research has investigated speech-language pathologists' (SLPs) abilities to transcribe speech in unfamiliar languages and ways to improve those skills. This study aims to evaluate the Mandarin phonetic transcription skills, whole-word match (WWM) judgements, and intra-word consistency judgements of English-lang…

There is a growing need for a model for automatic word-level language detection due to the growing usage of multilingual text. To identify code-switched and code-mixed sentences in the Kokborok language and English at the word level, we propose an unsupervised model. Numerous studies on code-mixed text have been publis…

How does the bilingual experience affect online processing? The distribution of lexical items shared between monolinguals and bilinguals can differ greatly. One critical difference is how code-switching allows more variability in the relative co-occurrence of words. The current study uses a visual world paradigm to tes…

This study examined the acoustic profiles of five basic emotions in American English and Mandarin Chinese using a big data approach. A total of 6,373 features were extracted using the openSMILE toolkit, and key discriminative features were identified through random forest classification. In American English, vocal emot…

This paper explores the interface between linguistic form and social meaning by focusing on correlations between sentence type and the social distance between interlocutors-a central aspect of the social meaning component of politeness. We present a forced-choice experiment with four different groups of speakers (L1 Br…

While the Taiwan government has embraced a progressive stance toward LGBT rights, especially through legalization of same-sex marriage and the adoption of educational policy aimed at promoting LGBT rights in the schools, there is little sense of the role of English language teaching (ELT) in this issue. Since English s…

Binomials have been relatively understudied compared to other types of multiword expressions (MWEs) in second language research, such as collocations and idioms. This study investigated English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners' processing of English binomials and how it is influenced by interlexical factors (L1-L2…

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to establish linguistic equivalence of the Marathi translation of the Ages and Stages Questionnaires-Third Edition (ASQ-3) in an urban setting of India. METHODS: All items of the ASQ-3 were translated and back translated by translators from a non-medical background, piloted on 40 families an…

There are currently many different types and dispersed online educational resources, which inconvenience users and result in a low utilisation rate of resources. As a result, a new approach is required to realise the integration and recommendation of educational resources. This paper examines the intelligent integratio…

Intralingual translation has long been peripheral to empirical studies of translation. Considering its many similarities with interlingual translation, also described as translation proper, we adopted eye-tracking technology to investigate the cognitive process during translation and paraphrase, an exemplification of i…

To address the problems of poor compatibility, weak load capacity, and time consumption of existing multimedia-assisted teaching systems, we propose and design a physics multimedia-assisted English teaching system based on a concept network. The architecture of the physics multimedia-assisted teaching system is constru…

Learners' emotions in learning a foreign language are claimed to shape complicated dynamic associations contributing to their motivational and linguistic outcomes, as evidenced by recent research in this area. In order to advance this research area, this study sought to investigate the foreign language enjoyment (FLE)…

This study aims to investigate different types of English listening instruction, listening self-efficacy, and listening strategy use, particularly the mediating role of self-efficacy between listening instruction and strategy use. We first examined the types of L2 instruction being employed in English as a Foreign Lang…

Research has shown that speakers use fewer pronouns when the referential candidates are more similar and hence compete more strongly. Here we examined the locus of such an effect, investigating (1) whether pronoun use is affected by the referents' competition at a non-linguistic level only (non-linguistic competition a…

Little research has highlighted how evidence-based practices (e.g., functional communication training [FCT]) might be adapted for bilingual learners with disabilities. In the current study, we served 2 children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and challenging behavior whose parents primarily spoke Spanish at home, a…

Although previous research has shown that there exist individual and cross-linguistic differences in planning strategies during language production, little is known about how such individual differences might vary depending on which language a speaker is planning. The present series of studies examines individual diffe…
