The development of international proficiency tests such as IELTS, which entail important decision making about people鈥檚 academic lives, requires complex processes to ensure item discrimination. Previous research has indicated that IELTS has been ineffective in omitting distractor components, which may offer limitations in differentiating among the candidates. Among all the sections, particular attention has been paid to the reading comprehension component and it is considered as a criterion for
This book investigates Polarity Mood (PM) in Peninsular Spanish and how the phenomenon has evolved diachronically. In particular, it explores from a theoretical and empirical perspective the interaction of PM with five other linguistic phenomena: (i) the verb class of the matrix predicate, (ii) the presence of a first-person subject; (iii) the type of matrix clause, (iv) information structure, and (v) the presence of Negative Polarity Items. Drawing inspiration from the competing grammars framew

In an ever-changing, increasingly complex and plural world, attitudes often play a central role in public discourse. This also holds true for attitudes towards languages. These attitudes begin to emerge in the family and at school and continue to develop throughout life as we participate in society. In this way, they help to shape our relationship to languages and our identity.
Applied linguistics has long been concerned with language attitudes. The focus has been on social situations and co

This dissertation investigates the following central question: What is the internal structure of pronouns? I propose and investigate the hypothesis that contextual allomorphy is a key tool for (a) accessing the inventory of morphemes that make up a pronoun across languages and (b) tracking the patterns of their interactions. Namely, allomorphic alternations involve an interaction of two morphemes, the trigger and the target of allomorphy. Identifying the trigger and the target in pronominal form
