Dear Linguists, I am an MA student who intend to conduct a research on the possible effects of second-language leaners' meta-linguistic awareness on their oral performance with specific reference to "Phrasal Stress". I am specially interested to see if such an awareness devloped through such approaches as Metrical Phonology or language exposure has any positive effects on their oral performance. If you know of any relevant studies or sources, please write to me at mzakeryMail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issueyahoo.com Yours Sincerely Mahboubeh Zakery
Can anyone direct me to literature on the subject of frequency order of russian words? I've come across Nicholas J. Brown's Russian Learner's Dictionary of the top 10,000 most frequently used russian words. Is this online (in russian or english characters)? Is there another russian frequency book that is currently online that I could download? best, Melissa GygiMail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue
