The Integrated Scale of Development (ISD) is a questionnaire used in 30 countries in the world in order to assess speech development in cochlearimplanted children. The aim of this study is to ...estimate the usefulness of this questionnaire in assessing speech development in Polish-speaking children and to describe the adaptation process and the related diffi culties. The research conducted in a group of 193 hearing children allowed the ascertainment that the ISD version adapted to the specifi city of the phonology, morphology and syntax of the tested language is a universal tool. The results can be used to study the level of language skills of normal-hearing children, hearing-impaired children – to compare them with a given language standard, and to compare the results of the therapy of hearing-impaired children to the results of research carried out in other languages. At the same time, the experience gained during the process of ISD adjustment to the Polish language can be used while adjusting this scale to other Slavic languages.
Este trabajo analiza la circulación de historias de vida en la España de hoy como un género capaz de expresar vidas precarias, entendidas como aquellas que internalizan de modo particular las ...condiciones históricas y materiales específicas de la temporalidad de crisis o temporalidad de excepción que se abre en el país a partir de 2008. Se argumenta que tal circulación opera como una respuesta a esa misma crisis, en tanto que crisis política y en tanto que crisis de representación, contemplando los efectos que el 15-M, como movimiento social y como mundo discursivo, desarrolla. Esas historias de vida, en su modo de informar y conformar una experiencia de dicha temporalidad, cristalizan en formalizaciones narrativas y ofrecen un género de microrrelato que llamaremos historia de vida subprime. Su intensa circulación en múltiples canales informativos y medios de comunicación y los efectos que alcanzan sobre la producción de actualidad afectan las imágenes colectivas de la vida social contemporánea en la España actual, planteando una redescripción del ámbito de las experiencias políticas y una importante pregunta por las expectativas sociales que definen la cultura española hegemónica.
What do you know, if you know that a language has 'Object Verb' structure rather than 'Verb Object'? Answering this question and many others, this book provides an essential guide to the syntactic ...structure of German. It examines the systematic differences between German and English, which follow from this basic difference in sentence structure, and presents the main results of syntactic research on German. Topics covered include the strict word order in VO vs word order variation in OV, verb clustering, clause union effects, obligatory functional subject position, and subject-object asymmetries for extractions. Through this, a cross-model and cross-linguistic comparison evolves, highlighting the immediate implications for non-Germanic OV languages, and creating a detailed and comprehensive description of the syntactic differences that immediately follow from an OV type in contrast with a VO type like English. It will be of interest to all those interested in syntax and Germanic languages.
The author presents the thesis that complementary clauses and relative clauses are de facto noun phrases founded on the shifter-tandems of the type that, which..., that,who... Mutatis mutandis, ...constructions constituted with causal conjunctions are also often „syntactically nominalized“ with shifters built into the constitutive predicate, cf. Polish conjunctions as dlaTEGO, zaTEM, przez TO... , or French as pour que, parce que, quoique...
The objekt accusative-dative case structure in Serbian literature In this paper is prsented chronological review of classbooks and scientific papers devoted to accusa tive-dative case structure and ...verbs of giving in Serbian language. Although this group of verbs has not been systematically tested on a wider corpus, our grammatics as well as pa pers by many domestic authors show that mentioned group of verbs attracted attention of researchers and for them it was an interesting field of research, probably because of very important place it takes in a system of verbouse words. The goal of this paper is to point out some of this works and to see how domestic linguists observed this group of verbs. First of all, gramatics of Serbian language and classbooks were analyzed as well as sci entific papers in which those verbs and this case structure were mentioned.

Dans la deuxieme section de ce chapitre, nous présentons un champ de recherche émergent dans lequel s'inscrit notre recherche afin d'interroger les interactions écrites dans notre corpus et d'étudier la nature de l'écrit employé. Pour ce faire, notre cadrage de références théoriques se structure principalement autour des trois axes suivants : l'interactionnisme de Goffman qui s'intéresse aux relations syntaxiques qui unissent les actions de diverses personnes mutuellement en presence (Goffman, 1974 : 8) en soulignant que l'interaction est avant tout une affaire de rencontre, sociale, incarnée et ritualisée ?.
This paper is concerned with various dimensions of the ‘smallness’ of syntactic structures. Grammatical constructions selected to illustrate the apparent smallness in syntax include small clauses, ...nonsententials and small nominals. The ‘smallness’ of small clauses (e.g. We consider him very silly) has recently drawn the attention of researchers, leading to various accounts of their internal composition and derivation. As regards small nominals, they are discussed on the basis of Pereltsvaig 2006. It is also proposed that NPN structures (e.g. day after day) constitute an instance of ‘small’ structure. Recent developments in syntactic theory (e.g. Citko 2008; Haïk 2013; Progovac et al. 2006; Travis 2001; Pskit 2012, 2015) demonstrate that behind the surface ‘smallness’ of the above-mentioned types of expressions there are complex syntactic mechanisms.
