The Pragmatic Rhetorical Strategy of Hedging in Academic Writing Vigo International Journal of Applied Linguistics (IF 0.917) Pub Date : 2022-03-17 Pedro Martín
In academic discourse, hedging is a crucial rhetorical strategy mainly used by writers to mitigate the argumentative force of knowledge claims in order to reduce the potential threat that new claims make on other researchers, and thus minimise possible criticism from peers (Myers, 1989). In the social interactions between writers and readers, hedges also represent a useful linguistic device used by

Dead or To Death? On Translating into Spanish the Semantico-Pragmatic Implications Derived from the English Resultative Construction Vigo International Journal of Applied Linguistics (IF 0.917) Pub Date : 2022-03-17 Beatriz Rodríguez Arrizabalaga
The almost complete non-existence in Spanish of the remarkably productive English resultative construction with dead/to death, together with the semantico-pragmatic connotations entailed by the choice of each of these two attributes, bring to the fore in the present paper a syntactic and semanticopragmatic contrastive analysis of this peculiar structure. Our objective is twofold: (a) to prove that

A matter of age: Negotiation in child and adult interactions Vigo International Journal of Applied Linguistics (IF 0.917) Pub Date : 2022-01-21 Raúl Azpilicueta-Martínez,Amparo L´azaro-Ibarrola
Findings from task-supported interaction with adult populations have often been transferred to children with little to no modification. When (considerable) differences have been identified, adult and children interactions were analysed while performing different tasks or at different proficiency levels. This article attempts to provide a more reliable comparison by analysing level-matched adults and

Gender pairings in EFL child task-based interaction Vigo International Journal of Applied Linguistics (IF 0.917) Pub Date : 2022-01-21 María Martínez-Adrían,María juncal Gutiérrez-Mangado
Few studies have tackled gender differences in second language (L2) interaction, and particularly, the effect of gender pairings on learning opportunities operationalized as Language Related Episodes (LREs) has been scarcely looked into (see Azkarai, 2015b; Azkarai & García-Mayo, 2012; Ross-Feldman, 2005, 2007). Additionally, these studies have targeted adult L2 learners and to our knowledge, no studies

U-shaped trajectories in an L2 context: Evidence from the acquisition of verb morphology Vigo International Journal of Applied Linguistics (IF 0.917) Pub Date : 2022-01-21 Stefan Williams,Pedro Guijarro-Fuentes,Mila Vulchanova
This study explores U-shaped behaviour in the acquisition of irregular verb morphology across three groups of Norwegian L2 learners of English. This phenomenon is especially interesting due to its significance for the organization and division between the mental lexicon and grammar. We hypothesized that if U-shaped behaviour was observable, then we would find significant differences in participants’

Assessing the impact of the Lexical Approach on EFL perceived oral proficiency: What is the role of formulaic sequences? Vigo International Journal of Applied Linguistics (IF 0.917) Pub Date : 2022-01-21 Marco Cancino,Jonathan Iturrieta
The Lexical Approach (LA) is a pedagogical method that emphasizes authentic language and learner exposure to co-occurring lexical units. The approach has garnered renewed interest over the last years due to its focus on the frequency of multi-word form-meaning distributions, which is in line with usage-based (UB) approaches to language acquisition. Thus, the present study sought to assess the impact

Teachers’ oral corrective feedback and learners’ uptake in high school CLIL and EFL classrooms Vigo International Journal of Applied Linguistics (IF 0.917) Pub Date : 2021-01-18 Ruth Milla,María del Pilar García Mayo
Oral corrective feedback (OCF) has been reported to be affected by several factors such as learners’ age, level of proficiency or the OCF types provided by the teacher. However, little research has been carried out on the variable learning context, even though OCF and uptake vary in rates and types in second language (SL) and foreign language (FL) settings. Moreover, OCF has been clearly under-researched

The language in language and thinking Vigo International Journal of Applied Linguistics (IF 0.917) Pub Date : 2021-01-18 Vivian Cook
The relationship of language and thinking is starting to receive considerable attention in the field of SLA research under the name of Bilingual Cognition. This paper argues that it needs to be underpinned by a proper foundation in the language side of the relationship: it is dangerous to take language for granted. First it argues for researchers to clearly spell out what they mean by language, whether

Naming in the language of the street Vigo International Journal of Applied Linguistics (IF 0.917) Pub Date : 2019-02-22 Vivian Cook
This paper looks at how street signs identify English streets and buildings. Street name signs mark out streets in forms regulated by government in terms of typeface and other attributes but not language. A building name or number sign provides a location and delimitation of property for legal and administrative purposes. Their meaning is highly indexical in that it is only true for a precise given

Can phonological awareness predict concurrent reading outcomes in a deep orthography? Vigo International Journal of Applied Linguistics (IF 0.917) Pub Date : 2019-02-22 Mila Vulchanova,Ammara Farukh
Phonological awareness can predict reading skills in typical readers (Bradly & Bryant, 1983; Stahl & Murray, 1994) and can distinguish between typical reading and reading deficit in alphabetic languages (Snowling, 1981; Stanovich & Siegel, 1994; Bryant et al., 1990). Yet the nature of phonological awareness and the causal link between phonological awareness and reading skill are subject to debate (Harm
