Lehmann, W. P. – Language, 1972

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Schneiderman, Eta I. – Language Learning, 1983
The modified stage hypothesis, which predicts the balance of right v. left hemisphere involvement in learning or acquisition of languages, is examined and an apparent contradiction is found between conclusions from experimental findings supporting the hypothesis and Krashen's Monitor theory underlying it.

Buckingham, Hugh W., Jr.; Hollien, Harry – Journal of Phonetics, 1978
A neural model in the form of a servo-mechanism is developed to account for certain aspects of language and speech in the human nervous system. Emphasis is placed on encoding processes as well as on-going feedback during production. (SW)

Weigl, Egon; Bierwisch, Manfred – Langages, 1976
By presenting preliminary results of joint experiments conducted by speech pathologists and linguists, this article discusses the possibility of further neuropsycholinguistic research. (Text is in French.) (CLK)

Danesi, Marcel – System, 1990
A review of some of the major works in neurolinguistics published during the last decade extrapolates many implications for second and foreign language theory and practice, covering such issues as hemispheric dominance, language processing, and bilingualism. (35 references) (CB)

Melrose, Robin – IRAL, 1992
Two concerns are addressed: the growing interest in process-oriented approaches to language learning, and the search for a nonparticulate linguistics of the type hinted at by Halliday and given some credibility by the findings of neuroscience. Focus is on somatic phenomena such as tone of voice, body language, and certain schemas. (15 references)…

Chaudhary, Shreesh – Language Sciences, 1998
Discussion of the multilingual mind's organization proposes the Least Expansion Hypothesis, that knowledge of any language is organized in the same cognitive manner. A slot is created for knowledge of each level of language, storing knowledge of all languages pertaining to that level. A new knowledge unit is entered only when differing…

Bialystok, Ellen – Language Learning, 1998
Argues that further progress in applied linguistics and second-language acquisition will be achieved through collaboration with researchers in other fields. Three examples of research problems are provided that would profit from collaboration with applied linguists: the definition of language proficiency, the neural basis of language functioning,…

Ostberg, Per; Fernaeus, Sven-Erik; Hellstrom, Ake; Bogdanovic, Nenad; Wahlund, Lars Olof – Brain and Language, 2005
We assessed verb fluency vs. noun and letter-based fluency in 199 subjects referred for cognitive complaints including Subjective Cognitive Impairment, Mild Cognitive Impairment, and Alzheimer's disease. ANCOVAs and factor analyses identified verb, noun, and letter-based fluency as distinct tasks. Verb fluency performance in Mild Cognitive…

Legg, Carol; Penn, Claire; Temlett, James; Sonnenberg, Beulah – Clinical Linguistics and Phonetics, 2005
A multiple single-case study investigated language characteristics of adolescents with Tourette Syndrome (TS). Ten adolescent subjects with diagnosed TS were evaluated on a test battery sensitive to high level language and discourse impairment. Results were compared to established norms or, where no norms have been established, with results…

Hughes, Robert W.; Vachon, Francois; Jones, Dylan M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2005
A novel attentional capture effect is reported in which visual-verbal serial recall was disrupted if a single deviation in the interstimulus interval occurred within otherwise regularly presented task-irrelevant spoken items. The degree of disruption was the same whether the temporal deviant was embedded in a sequence made up of a repeating item…

McCormick, Donald W. – 1987
Two bibliographies on neurolinguistic programming are updates of an earlier literature review by the same compiler. The two lists contain citations of over 160 books, research reports, dissertations, journal articles, audio and video recordings, and research projects in progress on aspects of neurolinguistic programming. Appended notes suggest…

Ahlsen, Elisabeth – 1985
An examination of the word-finding problems and nonverbal communication in the conversations of three aphasic patients revealed three different patterns of communicative strategies and success in different kinds of activities, such as tests and conversation. One, with mainly a parietal lesion, hesitates often with turn-keeping gestures and stops…

Kukkonen, Pirkko – 1985
This paper examines the tacit assumptions behind different theories about the nature of language and aphasia, and it discusses critically the use of structural and generative linguistic theories to explain the behavior of aphasics, especially with regard to the difference between spoken and written discourse. It is proposed that, rather than try…

Parre, Marjatta; And Others – 1985
This study attempted to clarify the kind of correlations that can be found in the speech behavior of high-risk children in comparison with children without neonatal risk complications. The study concentrated on the articulatory ability of 430 five-year-old children with neonatal risk complications; it applied a cross-disciplinary diagnosis (child…
