ISBN: 9781433108327 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 169 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Can an author s preference for expressing modality be quantified and then used as a marker of attribution?

German Ver-Verbs: Internal Word Structure and Lexical Processing
ISBN: 9780820486635 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 169 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. One of the central questions in psycholinguistics is how complex words are processed in the human mind. German ver-Verbs: Internal Word Structure and Lexical Processing explores the visual word recognition of German ver-verbs. Superficially, ver-verbs are uniform: they all begin with the sequence ver-. However, their internal structure is heterogeneous. Based on the results of various experimental designs, this book shows that the internal structure of ver-verbs is of paramount importance to their processing. Thus, the human mind employs different strategies for the processing of...
