Measured Language: Quantitative Studies of Acquisition, Assessment, and Variation (Georgetown University Round Table on Languages and Linguistics series) - Softcover
Synopsis
The metaphors and operationalizations of quantification serve as an important lingua franca for much linguistic research, allowing methods and constructs to bring togeteher seemingly disparate areas of linguistic investigation. The studies in this volume illustrate forms of measurement and quantitative analysis that are current in diverse areas of linguistic research, from language assessment to language change, from generative linguistics to psycholinguistic experimentalism, from longitudinal studies to classroom research. The contributors demonstrate that quantification enhances the scientific study of language dialectically, through the rigor of explicitly operationalizing a construct, developing a reliable way to measure it, and finally validating that measurement. The range and clarity of the studies in the volume ensure that even linguists who would not traditionally use quantitative methods will find it useful. The many studies of language learning will be particularly helpful to language teachers.

Paperback. Condition: New. Measured Language: Quantitative Studies of Acquisition, Assessment, and Variation focuses on ways in which various aspects of language can be quantified and how measurement informs and advances our understanding of language. The metaphors and operationalizations of quantification serve as an important lingua franca for seemingly disparate areas of linguistic research, allowing methods and constructs to be translated from one area of linguistic investigation to another. Measured Language includes forms of measurement and quantitative analysis current in diverse areas of linguistic research from language assessment to language change, from generative linguistics to experimental psycholinguistics, and from longitudinal studies to classroom research. Contributors demonstrate how to operationalize a construct, develop a reliable way to measure it, and finally validate that measurement -- and share the relevance of their perspectives and findings to other areas of linguistic inquiry. The range and clarity of the research collected here ensures that even linguists who would not traditionally use quantitative methods will find this volume useful. Seller Inventory # LU-9781626160378
