MEASURING LANGUAGE

International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, 2004
The study of language, its processing and its bearing on human cortical processes are all extensive domains of investigation in their own right. In this overview tutorial we limit ourselves to a sample of core illustrative issues. Our central aim is to demonstrate how complexity within the language faculty arises from two a priori distinct sources: the

Market Language, Moral Language

Hastings Center Report, 2018
AbstractThose who advocate higher out‐of‐pocket spending, especially high deductibles, to keep health care costs better controlled without losing quality use market language to talk about how people should think about health care. Consumers—that is, patients—should hunt for bargains. Clip coupons. Shop around.

Language

2013
Noninvasive focal brain stimulation by means of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been used extensively in the past 20 years to investigate normal language functions. The picture emerging from this collection of empirical works is that of several independent modular functions mapped on left-lateralized temporofrontal circuits originating ...

Written Language, Standard Language, Global Language

World Englishes, 2003
AbstractEnglish, along with a small number of other languages in the modern period, has expanded away from local through national to international domains, changing significantly along the way. But the changes are not simply those that take place in the normal course of the history of a language; other changes come about as a language takes on new ...

2017
This chapter deals with verbal immediacy, or those variations which occur within speech itself. It discusses the variations that include linguistic components, such as pronouns, tense, or kinds of symbols (words) used to refer to an object. The linguistic components considered in these analyses include words that designate the object(s) of the ...

Language and Languages

2020
The editorial organization of the contents of the Course in General Linguistics contributed to establishing the primacy of the language system (la langue) by situating it above the empirical plurality of world languages (les langues). La langue is defined by means of dogmatic, axiom-like statements with little empirical justification or background ...

Language Within Language

1979
I have been arguing so far for the presence of a paradigm of deconstruction in the image of childhood, and have further suggested that the use of this image precludes its being used to provide closure or metacomment. That is to say, the adult recognises the apparent impossibility of becoming a child and therefore also recognises the implicitly partial ...

Heritage languages

2019
Heritage languages, such as the Turkish varieties spoken in Berlin or the Spanish used in Los Angeles, are non-dominant languages, often with little prestige. Their speakers also speak the dominant language of the country they live in. Often heritage languages undergo changes due to their special status.

Languages Within Language

2001
There is little hope of reconstructing by means of comparative or typological studies a lingua adamica essentially different from present-day languages. The distant preverbal past is however still present in live speech. Phonetic, syntactic and semantic rule transgressions, far from being products of a deficient output, are governed by a universal ...

Language acquisition and language change

WIREs Cognitive Science, 2010
AbstractChildren acquire a mature language system and sometimes this system differs from that of their parents. This is a significant part of language change and understanding acquisition is key to understanding this kind of change in people's internal grammars. I outline one approach to language acquisition, based on children finding cues expressed in
