The Quality Of Language Input And Early Onset Effects On...

The two previous studies exemplify that the quality of language input and early onset has significant effects on linguistic and sub-linguistic mechanisms. It calls into question whether input quality is predictive of later sign language skills in deaf education program settings. In spoken languages, the quality and quantity of language input is predictive of a child’s later linguistic abilities (Cartmill et al., 2013). However, most deaf children entering education have hearing parents, creating a barrier to language development. Many deaf programs support bilingual philosophies in which the basis of English is also taught in order to facilitate communication between the deaf and non-deaf communities (Murphy-Swiller, 2014). Leah Nicole Murphy-Swiller (2014) investigates input quality within deaf education settings using American Sign Language (ASL). She hypothesizes that deaf participants learning language through slightly different modalities will differ in their ASL receptive skills and their comprehension of English grammar knowledge, even after educational instruction. This is done by comparing approximately one hundred and forty-nine 4 and 5-year-old deaf children at schools in 26 states across the United States of America. The deaf children are divided into three groups: those with ASL as their first language (L1), English as their L1, and those who spoke a sign-supported English. These groups are compared to a control group of same-aged hearing peers.

In the late 1950s, the challenge of increasingly saturated and competitive markets led to the birth of an explicit marketing philosophy. Marketing is a relatively latest discipline having emerged in the early 1900s. Prior to this time most issues that are now commonly associated with marketing were either assumed to fall within basic concepts of economics (e.g., price setting was viewed as a simple supply/demand issue), advertising (well developed by 1900)Read MoreMerger and Acquisition: Current Issues115629 Words   |  463 PagesData and methodology 6.3 Discussion of results 6.4 Conclusion 83 83 85 87 93 7 Price Volatility in Stocks Subject to Tender Offers Elaine Hutson Introduction Previous research and theoretical background The econometric analysis: market effect and volatility 7.4 Data and preliminary results 7.5 Econometric results 7.6 Trading volumes 7.7 Conclusion 7.1 7.2 7.3 96 96 97 101 102 106 110 114 CONTENTS ix 8 Merger Arbitrage: An Introduction Greg N.
