Sommario/riassunto |
|
Predicting the future is serious business for virtually all public and private institutions, for they must often make important decisions based on such predictions. This visionary book explores how institutions from legislatures to corporations might improve their predictions and arrive at better decisions by means of prediction markets, a promising new tool with virtually unlimited potential applications. Michael Abramowicz explains how prediction markets work; why they accurately forecast elections, sports contests, and other events; and how they may even advance the ideals of our system of republican government. He also explores the ways in which prediction markets address common problems related to institutional decision making. Throughout the book the author extends current thinking about prediction markets and offers imaginative proposals for their use in an array of settings and situations. |

Sommario/riassunto |

“The book provides a cogent overview of voluminous research on the acquisition/processing of irregular verbs. A particular strength is the development of classroom applications based on theoretical principles and empirical findings. A valuable resource for practitioners as well as researchers interested in the development of L2 morphology.” —Tom |

Rankin, Professor at the Department of English and American Studies, Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic This book examines psycholinguistic elements of EL2 irregular verb morphology in English, using two empirical studies of young language learners in Austria to make evidence-based didactic recommendations for classroom use. The author first provides an up-to-date overview of the so-called past tense debate, encompassing the last four decades of linguistic, psycholinguistic, and cognitive research, before presenting an in-depth discussion of the notion of irregular and semi-regular verbal morphology in both German and English, with a focus on apophony. Turning to his original research, two behavioural elicitation experiments are analysed using generalised linear mixed models as well as conditional inference trees, avoiding common pitfalls that come with traditional ANOVAs in repeated measure designs. Based on the empirical results, he discusses concrete implications for second language acquisition and instructed EL2 teaching, with a focus on Input Processing and Variation Theory. This book will be essential reading for SLA and applied linguistics researchers as well as graduate and postgraduate students in cognitive linguistics, psycholinguistics, language acquisition, and EL2 pedagogy. Thomas Wagner is HS Professor for Applied Linguistics at the Pädagogische Hochschule Oberösterreich in Linz, Austria. |
