Experience, aptitude and individual differences in native language ultimate attainment [PDF]

Cognition, 2018
Several recent studies have demonstrated that some native speakers do not fully master some fairly basic grammatical constructions of their language, thus challenging the widely-held assumption that all native speakers converge on the same grammar. This study investigates the extent of individual differences in adult native speakers' knowledge of a ...

Energy tunnel linings thermo-mechanical performance: comparison between field observations and numerical modelling [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2020
Energy linings are receiving great interest due to their potential to transform a tunnel into a smart energy system for enhancing thermal comfort of buildings and metro stations, as well as to absorb waste heat from the tunnel environment.

Is Adult Second Language Acquisition Defective?

Frontiers in Psychology, 2020
There is a large literature showing that adult L2 learners, in contrast to children, often fail to acquire native-like competence in the second language.

Attaining the Ultimate Precision Limit in Quantum State Estimation [PDF]

Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2019
We derive a bound on the precision of state estimation for finite dimensional quantum systems and prove its attainability in the generic case where the spectrum is non-degenerate. Our results hold under an assumption called local asymptotic covariance, which is weaker than unbiasedness or local unbiasedness.

Primary accumulation in the Soviet transition [PDF]

, 1985
The Soviet background to the idea of primary socialist accumulation is presented. The mobilisation of labour power and of products into public sector investment from outside are shown to have been the two original forms of the concept.

Factors Affecting Grammatical and Lexical Complexity of Long-Term L2 Speakers’ Oral Proficiency [PDF]

, 2016
There remains considerable disagreement about which factors drive second language (L2) ultimate attainment. Age of onset (AO) appears to be a robust factor, lending support to theories of maturational constraints on L2 acquisition.

Roughness-facilitated local 1/2 scaling does not imply the onset of the ultimate regime of thermal convection [PDF]

, 2017
In thermal convection, roughness is often used as a means to enhance heat transport, expressed in Nusselt number. Yet there is no consensus on whether the Nusselt vs.

The Role of Theory in SLA Empirical Research on the Critical Period Hypothesis

Studies in Applied Linguistics & TESOL, 2021
This paper sets out to peruse the role of various theories or more precisely, hypotheses invoked in SLA research by surveying three empirical studies pertaining to the critical period hypothesis in the SLA of phonetics and phonology.
