This article describes a psycholinguistic research into the mechanisms of perception and comprehension of a foreign text based on the psycholinguistic method applying the modified “counter-text” technique developed by A. I. Novikov. The experiment is based on the physiological principle of dominant by A. A. Ukhtomsky. Within this article, a post in the translation Internet community acts as an incentive text, and comments on it play the role of reactions, a kind of “counter-texts”. It is supposed that “counter-texts”, to some extent, allow establishing and verbalizing the dominants that exist in the minds of those who perceive the text; the authors also believe these dominants to influence the process of meaning formation and translation results.

Theoretical Issues

AbstractTo what extent, if any, does Universal Grammar (UG) constrain second language (L2) acquisition? This is not only an empirical question, but one which is currently investigable. In this context, L2 acquisition is emerging as an important new domain of psycholinguistic research. Three logical possibilities have been articulated regarding the role of UG in L2 acquisition: The first is the “no access” hypothesis that claims that no aspect of UG is available to the L2 learner. The second is the “partial access” hypothesis that claims that only LI instantiated principles and LI instantiated parameter-values of UG are available to the learner. The third, called the “full access” hypothesis, asserts that UG in its entirety constrains L2 acquisition.In this paper we argue that there is no compelling evidence to support either of the first two hypotheses. Moreover, we provide evidence concerning functional categories in L2 acquisition consistent with the claim that UG is fully available to the L2 learner (see also Flynn 1987; Li 1993; Martohardjono 1992; Schwartz & Sprouse 1991; Thomas 1991; White 1989). In addition, we will attempt to clarify some of currently unclear theoretical issues that arise with respect to positing UG as an explanatory theory of L2 acquisition. We will also investigate in some detail certain crucial methodological questions involved in experimentally testing the role of UG in L2 acquisition and finally, we will present a set of experimental results of our own supporting the “Full Access” hypothesis.

Intractable Conflict

Given the central role of anger in shaping adversarial policy preferences in the context of intergroup conflict, its reduction may promote conflict resolution. In the current work, we drew on psycholinguistic research on the role of language in generating emotions to explore a novel, extremely subtle means of intervention. Specifically, we hypothesized that phrasing conflict-relevant policies in noun form (vs. verb form) would reduce anger and impact policy support correspondingly. Results across three experimental studies in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict supported these expectations for both support for concessions (Studies 1–3) and retaliatory policies (Study 3), with reduction in anger mediating the salutary impact of noun form (vs. verb form) on policy support. These results expand our understanding of the influence of language on emotions and policies in the context of conflict and have applied relevance for conflict-resolution efforts.

Subject Outcome of the ICANN negotiations. Significance On March 10, after nearly two years of discussions, the Internet Corporation for the Assignment of Names and Numbers (ICANN) finalised proposals to shift US government oversight of the corporation to a broader online community -- in effect ending the central role of the US government in internet governance. The proposals, however, have to be endorsed not just by the Obama Administration but also by Congress. Impacts The 'IANA transition' is likely to be effectively implemented given the consensus on the advantages of maintaining continuity and stability. Ensuring that the ICANN board is fully accountable will be more of a challenge. There are likely to be tensions between the board and the wider internet community over its role and governance in the future. Whether or not US authorities approve the transition, the debate on the role of governments in global internet governance will persist.

This volume addresses the teaching and learning of vocabulary in Italian L2 from different points of view, defining an updated and heterogeneous framework. The articles focus on wide-ranging topics: advances in acquisitional linguistics research, studies on interlanguage, results of psycholinguistic research, the role of teaching technologies, the use of multimedia lexicographic tools, new attention to languages for specific purposes, analysis of interactions on social networks. Each of these topics is treated specifically referring to the lexical dimension and to the possible applicative effects on the teaching of Italian L2.

AbstractThis article first outlines different ways of how psycholinguists have dealt with linguistic diversity and illustrates these approaches with three familiar cases from research on language processing, language acquisition, and language disorders. The second part focuses on the role of morphology and morphological variability across languages for psycholinguistic research. The specific phenomena to be examined are to do with stem-formation morphology and inflectional classes; they illustrate how experimental research that is informed by linguistic typology can lead to new insights.
