We observed strong crosslinguistic similarities in target domains and metaphorical mappings and systematic crosslinguistic differences in the lexicalization of the source domain, with translations largely adhering to the patterns of the target language.

The findings were presented in mix method analysis, both qualitatively and quantitatively. The instrument used to collect the data was questionnaire. The questionnaires were analyzed particularly by using multiple linear regression and further analysis, ANOVA, was used to determine the significant factor while questions 3 used descriptive technique. The results show that the 1. factors that influence the students’ speaking ability are students’ factors, campus environmental factor and parental involvement, 2. the most significant influencing factor on students’ speaking ability is campus environmental which is 52%. It is evident from the ANOVA results that the model reached statistical significance [F (3, 112) =18.912, Adjusted R2=.516, sig. <.05], and 3.

In this paper, using conversational data from Odia, an Indo-Aryan language, we examine the speaker stance functions in copula constructions. More specifically, in addition to focus marking as a highlighting strategy, we show how copulas help to anchor the speaker’s subjective (attitudinal and affective) and intersubjective (socio-interactional) stance. Our analysis reveals that these (inter)subjective stances can be realized epistemically through the tense-mood marking functions of the copula, socio-interactionally through its agreement marking functions, and emphatically through its focus marking functions. The findings from this study contribute to our understanding of the relationship between copulas and stance-taking/stance-marking in spontaneous conversations in Indo-Aryan languages, and potentially other languages as well.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47955,"journal":{"name":"Lingua","volume":"297 ","pages":"Article 103641"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0024384123001651/pdfft?md5=a9f2700c6323560b0a21c443eb876ebb&pid=1-s2.0-S0024384123001651-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138738956","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In both cases, as natural interpreters and as child brokers, bilingual children can act as interpreters between two monolingual adults, although the scenario in which they interpret (domestic <em>versus</em> non-domestic settings, respectively) and the goal (raising children bilingually <em>versus</em> mediating for their family, respectively) may differ. Recently, some scholars have revealed how negatively or positively child brokers may see their role as family-society mediators. Likewise, natural interpreters may show positive or negative attitudes towards interpreting, and these may vary as they grow up as bilinguals. In order to observe how bilingual children respond to interpreting as they develop linguistically, experimental data from CHILDES involving a pair or twins across three elicited interpreting sessions were used (i.e., ages 4;6, 5;05, 6;03). The results show that both children translate efficiently and mainly when required to do so, providing predominantly simplified translations in their first experience and later an equal proportion of simplified and literal translations. To interpret these results, some external variables associated with experimental conditions (e.g., the aim behind interpreting; the interlocutors’ needs and roles; the duration of the sessions) are also taken into consideration which help characterize how natural interpreters face natural interpreting.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47955,"journal":{"name":"Lingua","volume":"298 ","pages":"Article 103643"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138686370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This 90-item set is a substantial enlargement and enhancement of a 56-item set collected in relation to a recently published study of phrasal verbs. For nearly half of the expressions in that earlier set there are now revised mean ratings based on proportionally large increases in the number of respondents from whom ratings were obtained. The enlarged set includes 34 newly rated spatio-temporal expressions, 19 of which appear to have no other published imageability rating. The 90-item list appears to be unique in its coverage of multiword prepositions and unusual in that 20% of the ratings pertain to items that raters saw with disambiguating information (e.g., “<em>back</em>, as in <em>move back</em>”). These 90 norms could be useful in many streams of research owing both to the importance of spatio-temporal prepositions in communication and to the well-established association of lexeme imageability with enhanced memorability, speedy mental processing, and learnability.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47955,"journal":{"name":"Lingua","volume":"298 ","pages":"Article 103653"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138686335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article provides a variationist account of the distribution of these two patterns in light of a number of social and linguistic factors. The social factors include age, gender, educational attainment and region. The linguistic factors, on the other hand, include the transitivity of the verb, the tense of the associate utterance, the stativity and the lexical type of the verb (i.e., cognitive, desiderative, speech and perception), as well as the person, animacy and definiteness of the associate subject. Following distributional and multivariate analyses of 40 sociolinguistic interviews (more than 30 hours of audio-recordings), we find that all social factors (education, gender, region and age), the lexical type of the verb, the definiteness of the subject and the tense of the associate utterance have a significant impact on the selection of the negation patterns in JA. Such preferences are argued to follow from independent factors, including the speaker's regional background, gender identity and prestige.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47955,"journal":{"name":"Lingua","volume":"297 ","pages":"Article 103644"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0024384123001687/pdfft?md5=f9e04182c5aceee8b226cbe2a3e8d5af&pid=1-s2.0-S0024384123001687-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138577540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
