Frequencies of occurrence of distinct types of relative clauses\u0000 in the Hong Kong component were compared to evaluate whether predictions of Keenan and\u0000 Comrie’s (1977) Noun Phrase Accessibility Hierarchy, Kuno’s (1974)\u0000 Perceptual Difficulty Hypothesis, and Hamilton’s (1994) Subject-Object Hierarchy\u0000 Hypothesis are supported by the corpus data respectively. Results indicate that the Perceptual Difficulty Hypothesis is supported\u0000 by data of written Hong Kong English whilst the other two hypotheses are partially supported only. Hypotheses supported by corpus\u0000 data of written Hong Kong English are suggested to inform English language education in Hong Kong by illuminating the\u0000 instructional order of different types of English relative clauses.","PeriodicalId":497578,"journal":{"name":"Pedagogical linguistics","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140451982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Merging insights from psychological models of learning, corpus-based, and cognitive linguistics\u0000 approaches to second language acquisition we use the results of computational simulations of learning of the TA system conducted\u0000 by Romain et al. (2022) and propose an approach to TA teaching that focuses on the cues\u0000 that have been identified as crucial for accurate TA use. Our pedagogical approach draws learners’ attention not so much to the\u0000 cues themselves but to the type of cues that are the most reliable in the choice of different TA combinations. This approach\u0000 allows teachers to equip learners with a long-term learning strategy that will help them focus on the most useful type of\u0000 information, and thus gradually build up a bank of knowledge specific to each TA combination.","PeriodicalId":497578,"journal":{"name":"Pedagogical linguistics","volume":" 30","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139625885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
