Number and gender agreement Sample Clauses

Number and gender agreement. Another factor that has been investigated is whether learners are better in processing number agreement or gender agreement. Xxxxxx Xxxxx (2012) compared native speakers of Spanish with adult English- speaking learners. Within the native group, he found that effects were equal for number and gender, which suggests that both features are processed similarly. This was different for the learners, who had a more positive effect for number than for gender, suggesting that number is processed before gender. These results support the Full Transfer / Full Acces Hypothesis of Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx (1994), since number is a present feature in the first language English and gender is not. Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx (2018) also investigated English-speaking learners of Spanish at different levels. The results of the event-related potentials revealed that the group with the highest proficiency had the same effect for gender as for number. The lowest proficiency group, on the contrary, did only show an effect for number and no effect for gender. These results show that the morphosyntactic elements develops when the proficiency increases. Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxxxxx (2010) investigated the sensitivity of Spanish learners to gender or number agreement violations. The second language learners were divided into beginning and intermediate learners and there was a control group of native Spanish speakers. The beginning learners were not sensitive to gender or number agreement violations, but intermediates and native speakers showed sensitivity to both. Besides looking at sensitivity, they also examined whether gender agreement is processed differently from number agreement. In the first task, which was a self-paced reading task, there was no signiticant difference between the groups. However, in the second task, a grammaticality judgement task, did show a difference. The second language learners at both levels were more accurate in identifying number agreement errors than that they were in gender agreement errors. There results indicate that the processing of number agreement is easier for second language learners than the processing of gender agreement. The native control group did not show differences between gender and number violations.

  • Vendor’s Specific Warranties, Terms, and License Agreements Because TIPS serves public entities and non-profits throughout the nation all of which are subject to specific laws and policies of their jurisdiction, as a matter of standard practice, TIPS does not typically accept a Vendor’s specific “Sale Terms” (warranties, license agreements, master agreements, terms and conditions, etc.) on behalf of all TIPS Members. TIPS may permit Vendor to attach those to this Agreement to display to interested customers what terms may apply to their Supplemental Agreement with Vendor (if submitted by Vendor for that purpose). However, unless this term of the Agreement is negotiated and modified to state otherwise, those specific Sale Terms are not accepted by TIPS on behalf of all TIPS Members and each Member may choose whether to accept, negotiate, or reject those specific Sale Terms, which must be reflected in a separate agreement between Vendor and the Member in order to be effective.
