{"pk":6945,"title":"The Role of Lexical Cohesive Devices in Triggering Negotiations for Meaning","subtitle":null,"abstract":"The authors compare the frequency of negotiations for meaning in a natural spoken corpus to a variety of cohesive devices. The study demonstrates that a lack of cohesive devices in non-native speaker (NNS) discourse correlates to negotiations for meaning. The data comes from a year-long longitudinal study of six beginning NNSs and comprised 99 transcripts. The transcripts were coded for negotiations for meaning. Regression analyses suggested that causal cohesion and semantic co-referentiality were significantly related to the frequency of negotiations for meaning. Additionally, NNS discourse demonstrates a significant decrease in frequency of negotiations for meaning as a function of time. Taken together, these results suggest that negotiations for meaning are related to a lack of cohesive devices in NNS speech.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"Applied Linguistics"}],"section":"Articles","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0n180736","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Scott","middle_name":"","last_name":"Crossley","name_suffix":"","institution":"Georgia State University","department":"None"},{"first_name":"Thomas","middle_name":"Lee","last_name":"Salsbury","name_suffix":"","institution":"Washington State University","department":"None"},{"first_name":"Danielle","middle_name":"S.","last_name":"McNamara","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Memphis","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2010-12-14T03:00:00-05:00","date_accepted":"2010-12-14T03:00:00-05:00","date_published":"2010-04-29T03:00:00-04:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/ial/article/6945/galley/4061/download/"},{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/ial/article/6945/galley/4062/download/"}]}
