“…All of the data were transcribed, and in addition, checked against the tape recordings. The transcription of the audio samples was conducted by the author, who designed her own notation symbols following suggestions from transcription literature (DuBois 1991;Edwards 2001;Edwards and Lampert 1993). Data were collected through various task-based activities (Harmer 1999;Ur 1999;Thornbury 2005) designed to elicit the use of grammatical morphemes.…”

This paper investigates the order of the acquisition of grammatical morphemes in the interlanguage of Croatian pupils of English as a foreign language (EFL). The order of acquisition was determined for nine grammatical morphemes. Additionally, the selected morphemes were combined to form the four verb tenses so as to determine the order of their emergence in the pupils' verb-morphology repertoire. The study was conducted on a corpus of 36 transcribed recordings of parts of classroom interaction. The pupils' speech production was elicited by various task-based activities. The suppliance of nine grammatical morphemes was investigated by means of obligatory occasion analysis (Brown 1973) which examined their obligatory and correct use. The obtained results revealed progress only in the acquisition of the present tense copula be. The emergence of verb tenses was partly identified due to the insufficient suppliance of grammatical morphemes in the pupils' speech production.Keywords: order of acquisition; grammatical morphemes; verb tenses; task-based activities; obligatory context Longitudinalna raziskava usvajanja glagolskega oblikoslovja pri učenju angleščine kot tujega jezika POvZETEK v prispevku predstavljamo raziskavo, ki ugotavlja, v kakšnem vrstnem redu hrvaški učenci angleščine kot tujega jezika v vmesnem jeziku usvajajo devet slovničnih morfemov. Dodatno smo izbrane morpheme opazovali tudi pri tvorjenju štirih glagolskih časov, da bi ugotovili, v kakšnem vrstnem redu in obsegu se pojavljajo pri usvajanju glagolskega oblikoslovja. Za raziskavo smo uporabili 36 transkripcij zvočnih posnetkov delov razrednih interakcij. Govorne odzive učencev smo spodbudili s pomočjo na nalogah zasnovanih dejavnosti. Uporabo/pojavnost devetih slovničnih morfemov smo proučevali na osnovi obvezne situacijske analize (Brown 1973), s katero smo raziskali obvezno in pravilno rabo morfemov. Rezultati dokazujejo učenčev napredek samo pri usvajanju sedanjika veznega glagola biti. Zaradi pomanjkljive rabe glagolskih morfemov v govoru učencev je bilo tvorjenje glagolskih časov le delno dokazano.Ključne besede: vrstni red usvajanja; slovnični morfemi; glagolski časi; na nalogah temelječe dejavnosti; obvezno sobesedilo

“…In CA, however, the spelling of words is altered to reflect how the speaker pronounces the word (termed 'eye-dialect' in Edwards 1992) [31]. With no established spelling conventions in Chinese due to the dominance of the character system and the limited use of the Romanization system (Pinyin and similar systems), researchers transcribe what they hear in diverse ways.…”

Transcribing Mandarin Chinese Conversation: Linguistic and Prosodic Issues

This study addresses some of the issues in the transcription of Chinese spoken discourse, with a particular focus on transcription solutions for various linguistic and vocal features of Mandarin conversation. While there is a great deal of complexity in Chinese spoken discourse, current practices in transcribing spoken Chinese and in building spoken corpora contain essentially no standards. Therefore, this study selects the linguistic and vocal features of spoken Chinese that meet the criteria of 1) highly recurrent in spoken Chinese; and 2) posing the most trouble in transcription. The features that need urgent attention in transcription include discourse particles, non-lexical vocalizations, and repairs. Given the centrality of spoken discourse, and conversation in particular, in discourse research, it is critically important to discuss key issues in transcribing Mandarin Chinese and then propose some ways for corpus building in the field of Chinese linguistics, which we do in this paper.

Communicating microarray results of uncertain clinical significance in consultation summary letters and implications for practice

et al. 2016

Letter-writing is an integral practice for genetic health professionals. In Victoria, Australia, patients with a chromosomal variant of uncertain clinical significance (VUS) referred to a clinical geneticist (CG) for evaluation receive consultation summary letters. While communication of uncertainty has been explored in research to some extent, little has focused on how uncertainty is communicated within consultation letters. We aimed to develop a multi-layered understanding of the ways in which CGs communicate diagnostic uncertainty in consultation summary letters. We used theme-oriented discourse analysis of 49 consultation summary letters and thematic analysis of a focus group involving eight CGs. Results showed that CGs have become more confident in their description of VUS as 'contributing factors' to patients' clinical features, but remain hesitant to assign definitive causality. CGs displayed strong epistemic stance when discussing future technological improvements to provide hope and minimise potentially disappointing outcomes for patients and families. CGs reported feeling overwhelmed by their workload associated with increasing numbers of patients with VUS, and this has led to a reduction in the number of review appointments offered over time. This study provides a rich description of the content and process of summary letters discussing VUS. Our findings have implications for letter-writing and workforce management. Furthermore, these findings may be of relevance to VUS identified by genomic sequencing in clinical practice. European Journal of Human Genetics (2017) 25, 22-30; doi:10.1038/ejhg.2016.135; published online 16 November 2016 INTRODUCTIONChromosomal microarray (CMA) is currently recommended as a firsttier diagnostic test for children with global developmental delay, intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder. 1 The higher resolution of CMA in detecting copy number variations (CNVs) has resulted in a 15-20% diagnostic yield compared to 3% with conventional karyotyping in this patient cohort. 1 Additionally, CMA has resulted in a greater detection of chromosomal variants of uncertain clinical significance (VUS). 2,3 Although VUS are enriched in patient cohorts, they are also identified in apparently healthy control populations, and therefore their clinical significance is uncertain.The Victorian Clinical Genetics Services (VCGS) in Melbourne, Australia began using CMAs diagnostically in 2009 and has reported approximately 37 000 CMA results, including approximately 1500 VUS at the time of this study. Two recurrent microdeletions consistently reported at the time by the VCGS laboratory as VUS involve chromosome regions 15q11.2 (containing the NIPA1 and NIPA2 genes) and 16p13.11 (containing the NDE1 gene). These microdeletions can be inherited or arise de novo. They are incompletely penetrant, and phenotypic expressivity is often highly variable even within families. 4,5 Patients in whom a VUS is detected by CMA are seen by a clinical geneticist (CG) for clinical evaluation and genetic...
