Advertising Discourse

within a theoretical and applied framework, the current study discusses the linguistic structure of advertising discourse in its linguistic pattern, explaining its most significant features in all its linguistic levels that reveal its ability to intensify linguistic itensity and its role in controlling the semantics of the iconic pattern, the second important component of advertising discourse. This controlling can be seen in two possible functions. (i) Anchorage – images are prone to multiple meanings and interpretations. Anchorage occurs when text is used to focus on one of these meanings, or at least to direct the viewer through the maze of possible meanings in some way. (ii) Relay – the text adds meaning and both text and image work together to convey intended meaning. Both functions pay attention to the role of linguistic pattern in identifying the semantic dimensions of image in the iconic pattern so that the message of advertising discourse is being successful.

And Control

This article reports on a study that investigated the effects of two feedback exposure conditions on the acquisition of two Turkish morphemes. The study followed a randomized experimental design with an immediate and a delayed posttest. Forty-two Chinese-speaking learners of Turkish were randomly assigned to one of three groups: receivers, nonreceivers, and control. All learners performed three communication games with a Turkish native speaker in which their errors on the Turkish plural and locative morphemes were treated according to their group assignment. The receivers’ errors were corrected through explicit correction. The nonreceivers were allowed to hear the feedback provided to the receivers; however, they did not receive feedback on their own errors. The learners in the control group neither received feedback on their own errors nor were allowed to hear the feedback other learners received. Results indicated that feedback exposure condition has an effect on the extent to which learners benefit from feedback but that this effect may be moderated by linguistic structure.

As If

We report research investigating the role of mental models in deduction. The first study deals with conjunctive inferences (from one conjunction and two conditional premises) and disjunctive inferences (from one disjunction and the same two conditionals). The second study examines reasoning from multiple conditionals such as: If e then b; If a then b; If b then c; What follows between a and c? The third study addresses reasoning from different sorts of conditional assertions, including conditionals based on if then, only if, and unless. The paper also presents research on figural effects in syllogistic reasoning, on the effects of structure and believability in reasoning from double conditionals, and on reasoning from factual, counterfactual, and semifactual conditionals. The findings of these studies support the model theory, pose some difficulties for rule theories, and show the influence on reasoning of the linguistic structure and the semantic content of problems.

What is the nature of the cognitive architecture that subserves memory for elementary arithmetic facts, such as 4 + 5 = 9 and 6 × 2 = 12? This article reviews research that has investigated the degree of dependence or independence of calculation processes on the conditions of problem encoding (e.g. by varying problem surface notation or semantic context). It also reviews evidence about the role of linguistic factors in the representation and performance of elementary arithmetic (e.g. transfer of practice within and between languages in bilinguals; effects of the linguistic structure for numbers). The evidence runs contrary to the view that arithmetic is essentially an abstract process that operates independently of encoding context or response output conditions. Instead, the evidence points to a cognitive architecture in which problem encoding and calculation processes are highly interactive and where linguistic codes provide an important, but not exclusive medium for arithmetic.

Models of Language Evolution reviews the models that provide evidence for the role of cultural evolution in the emergence of linguistic structure. This chapter discusses the levels of linguistic structure, and why the emergence of structure in language is a central question for evolutionary linguistics. It reviews the computational and experimental models which demonstrate that pressures operating during language learning and language use can give rise to the appearance of design in language, through the repeated cycle of learning and use that characterise language transmission. Finally, it discusses how learning biases at the individual level lead to the presence of typological universals: systematic patterns in how the world’s languages tend to be structured.

Building Texts

Language is a coherent system that is subject to many relationships, and the sentence is the most important linguistic structure in this system. Words do not perform a function on their own. Rather, their function becomes clear when the parts capable of carrying the meaning are fused into the interconnected sentence and by the convergence of interconnected sentences a coherent text is formed. Therefore, modern linguistics has tended to study the necessity. Text beyond is a network of sentences linked by multiple linguistic relationships. The aim of the research is to highlight the role of linkage in the construction and cohesion of the text by addressing the links of succession and conclusion for their clear effect on the coherence and harmony of the text. The importance of research appears through monitoring and following up the succession and conclusion links and showing how they are used in building texts. The most prominent expected results are: It turns out that most of the deduction links consist of words and phrases, while most of the sequence links consist of letters and a few words. The researcher also found that succession links are always more used in texts than deduction links.
