This paper describes some of these complexities that underlie seemingly straightforward binary categories such as the mass/count and singular/plural distinctions. The paper will also describe other aspects of quantification such as the usage of much and many in questions versus propositional statements and the expression of vague amounts. The aim is to reveal the complex conceptual, grammatical and pragmatic factors that bear on any expression of quantity in English. 2021-03-14T15:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11173/3237 タイトル: Black Lives Matter の言語学 : 訳文の検討と試訳の提示 著者: 谷, 光生 2021-03-14T15:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11173/3233 タイトル: 表紙ほか 2021-03-14T15:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11173/3234 タイトル: Correct prosody or faster articulation? Exploring the factors impacting student L2 listening comprehension 著者: Shimomura, Fuyu 抄録: Given that many EFL learners tend to struggle with understanding spoken English, some scholars identified the pedagogical potential of shadowing and visual shadowing for improving listening comprehension. This paper explores whether dif ferent ar ticulation rates for visual shadowing af fect the improvement in EFL learners’ top-down and/or bottom-up processing, and how other factors such as improvement in prosody or articulation rates influence student English listening comprehension. Given that some research findings from this study （i.e. shadowing helped both higher and lower proficiency learners） contradict the major research findings on shadowing, the author analyzes the potential factors that led to these discrepancies. 2021-03-14T15:00:00Z
