Exploring mechanisms of rapid automatized naming to arithmetic skills in Chinese primary schoolers

Rapid automatized naming (RAN) is associated with children's arithmetic performance, which is multifactorial by nature and consists of arithmetic fluency, arithmetic procedure, and word problems. Yet, it is unclear whether RAN can predict all key aspects of arithmetic skills independently and what cognitive mechanisms may explain this relation. Using a sample of Chinese primary school students (N = 170), results showed that while RAN was associated with all key aspects of arithmetic skills, the relations of RAN–arithmetic procedure and RAN–word problems may be dependent on that of RAN–arithmetic fluency. Supporting the processing speed hypothesis, results further suggested that processing speed may underlie the relation between RAN and arithmetic performance. Findings made unique contribution to understanding the effect of RAN on arithmetic performance and cognitive mechanisms that may underpin this association in the context of Chinese culture.     

How can children with mild literacy difficulties be supported at the transition to secondary school? A small‐scale quasi‐experimental study

There is evidence that pupils with weak literacy skills struggle on transition to secondary school. Many experience a drop in attainment in the summer break between the two. A British government‐funded programme of rigorously designed research on boosting literacy at transition had (by 2015) found only four of 15 interventions evaluated had positive effects. This small‐scale quasi‐experimental study investigated the effectiveness of support for pupils with mild literacy difficulties on transition to secondary school. Thirty‐two pupils in three schools were involved; half received the programme. Pairs were matched on reading, spelling, age and gender. Intervention was designed around the individual needs of each pupil, focusing variously on language skills, writing, reading and spelling. The group receiving the programme made modest gains in spelling, reading efficiency and single word reading. The comparison group lost ground, relatively, in all three areas. The results suggest a promising line for more rigorous investigation.

吴闽语进行体和持续体的语法化序列分析

莆仙方言的进行体和持续体标记来源于处所词,这是吴语和闽语的共同特征.但莆仙方言的这两种体标记来源于处所代词"即、许",而不是方位后缀或动介词,这又不同于吴语与闽语的其他方言.本文先描写莆仙方言的进行体和持续体特征,然后结合吴闽语其他八种方言的资料,分析进行体和持续体标记的语法化序列,从而观察其演变发展的过程.     

黄冈方言的后加成分"着"

在黄冈方言中,“着”可附在时间词或动词短语之后,构成具有动词性的“着”字结构,相当于“等到……以后再……”或“等到……再说”。成都方言“哆”字结构与黄冈方言“着”字结构性质相同,二之间可能存在一定的渊源关系。“哆”、“着”都不是“再说”衍生出来的;关于“着”的来源,杨永龙（2002）所说较为可信。     

国外字词识别研究对阅读教学的意义

自上个世纪90年代以来,字词识别研究再次成为心理学领域的一个热点问题,国外心理学界在这方面取得了一些进展。其中,关于字词识别心理机制的研究,不仅使我们更加深入地了解了字词识别在篇章理解中的作用,而且,也为语篇理解和阅读教学提供了重要的方法论启示。     

词汇语义探讨

女书字数统计与异体字处理

女书异体字的概念不同于汉字异体字.女书是汉字的一种变体,其文字性质已由表意文字变成表音文字,即音节字符表音文字.女书记录语言是采用同音假借的方法,用一个汉字变体音节字符,标记一组同音字、近音字.我们采用了字位理论来处理异体字问题.即在一字多形的情况下,在没有区别意义的异体字中,造字来源上是同源字,基本结构、主体轮廓相同,只是书写上附笔差异,不影响交际.经过字位处理,取使用频率最高的常用字形作为基本字.
