    Thank you for providing this video. There are 4 Events. The four events consist of Fixation Cross event, StimList1 event, StimList2 event, and Answer phase event. There are two trials: Trial1 consists of Fixation Cross, StimList1, Answer phase, and Trial2 consists of Fixation Cross, StimList2, Answer phase. I understand how to display Trial1 and Trial2 randomly. Next, I don't know how to randomize the text in the StimList among the three Events in Trial. Please teach me it.

    Excuse me, Mr. Hilpert. I do not go as far as challenging your statement concerning relevancy of billingualism in modern world. Yet, your statistics data of bilingualism in the "world" looks rather unconvincing, Leastways, the EU data does not represent the world (mentioned in the header), of which the EU is merely around 9% in terms of population and less then 3% in terms of territory. Indeed, nor does the US.

    In Canada, people use Canadian raising before voiceless consonants, but not necessarily in front of voiced consonants. So in "high school" or "bite" the first vowel would be raised, but Canadians usually say the word "five" with a diphthong closer to that used in the U.S.

  • @grzegorzsmolira9244
    @grzegorzsmolira9244 4 місяці тому

    Explaining the noun bias. Languages differ one from another in almost all aspects with 2 important exceptions: all have nouns and verbs. On this bases, it should be recognised that verbs and nouns are the original parts of speech, that emerged in the time immemorable with the first human words. As the child learns nouns first, it seems that the nouns were earlier, before verbs, and afterwards the rest was created. I heard that in my language, which is highy inflected (Polish) children learn the declination of nouns first, and after that the conjugation of verbs. If this is true for other languages, I believe this is the explanation. The noun was first, for naming objects, situations and activities. Then, the verb appeared. By combining verbs and nouns a broad tool for communication was invented. Due to Chomsky, the first language learning is rather conditioned by instict. This way, it all seems to be logical: they learn nouns first.

    I read it differently in the study of Bialystok and in the book of Grosjean, too (I am talking about 14:30-15:30). Acutally, in the study came out that all bilinguals have an advantage, but the advantage of English-Chinese children is smaller. And it is not because of other type of writing system in the sense you are presenting (because English-Hebrew children had according to the study actually the same advantage as English-Spanish children). Hebrew has the same system as English or Spanish, because it is based phonetically. That is not the case in Chinese or Korean etc. So the signs themlselves don't play such a big role, the system of putting signs and parts of speech together do (if morphems or phonems). That's what Bialystok found out and I think you might misunderstood that.
