“…Thus, the high mean of the scores of the post-test was attributed to the amelioration of the kind of the vocabulary given to the participants, who have Vegetation Whip rarely been exposed to vocabulary with multiple semantic contexts. This research result goes in accordance with Yurchenko, Lopukhina, and Dragoy (2018) who concluded that the type of Russian vocabulary given to the subjects affected their ability to construe polysemous words.…”

This research study aims at investigating the reason lying behind EFL learners' inability to construe polysemes to output a coherent text while translating from English into Arabic. The researcher, therefore, hypothesizes that there is a rapport between the learners' inability to translate polysemous words and their poor synonym language stock. To test this hypothesis, two groupsexperimental and controlwere formed; the former consisted of 82 senior EFL learners (51 females and 32 males) in the Department of English, the Faculty of Arts, Port Said University; and the latter was made up of 67 senior learners belonging to the same educational institution. The experimental group was given two pre-tests: translation and synonym, followed by a treatment which in turn followed by two post-tests. The control group, given no treatment, conducted two post-tests. The basic research finding was the positive coefficient correlation between the ability to construe polysemous words and the synonym language stock. To set an account for this rapport, the researcher postulated that the polysemous words are processed on layers on the semantic level. That is, a lexical item with a sole meaning is processed at layer 1, whereas lexical items with two or more meanings go up to the next layer and then goes to a third providing it still has further semantic contexts.

“…In more recent work, Yurchenko et al (2018) found a priming effect for shifts from literal senses to metonymic senses of polysemous words (e.g. shabby journalscience journal), via a reduced N400 and P600 amplitude relative to literal-metaphorical shifts (e.g.…”

Linguistic Representation and Processing of Copredication

This thesis addresses the lexical and psycholinguistic properties of copredication. In particular, it explores its acceptability, frequency, cross-linguistic and electrophysiological features. It proposes a general parsing bias to account for novel acceptability data, through which Complex-Simple predicate orderings are degraded across distinct nominal types relative to the reverse order. This bias, Incremental Semantic Complexity, states that the parser seeks to process linguistic representations in incremental stages of semantic complexity. English and Italian acceptability data are presented which demonstrate that predicate order preferences are based not on sense dominance but rather sense complexity. Initial evidence is presented indicating that pragmatic factors centred on coherence relations can impact copredication acceptability when such copredications host complex (but not simple) predicates. The real-time processing and electrophysiological properties of copredication are also presented, which serve to replicate and ground the acceptability dynamics presented in the thesis.

Literacy is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon that has been well studied in psychology and pedagogy. Neurophysiologists try to understand the mechanisms of writing and reading acquisition by analyzing different linguistic processes. In this paper, we review the data that were revealed by using the event-related potentials (ERPs) method in the light of spelling, lexical, semantic and syntactic aspects of literacy, as well as changes in the components of ERPs in children and adults during language acquisition and in dyslexia, the most studied reading disorder. The ERPs method can help to understand both the general, universal neural underpinnings of literacy development and the unique features of different languages.
