Abstract
The paper is dedicated to creating the source material and a new variety of winter soft wheat, resistant to adverse environmental factors with high rates of economically valuable traits.
Highlights
Many factors might affect the ease of foreign language (FL) vocabulary acquisition
Difficulty arises when the FL learner is faced with features not exploited in the native language
The contrast between [ɔ] and [ɒ] sounds in English pronunciation differentiates not always in the process of phonetic acquisition. This contrast is not exploited in Uzbek and Uzbek learners of English must (a) learn to identify these unfamiliar features to perceive speech and (b) develop new motor patterns to accurately reproduce these in their own speech. This leads to predictions at both language and word levels: 1. The less the overlap between the feature set of the native and the foreign language, the harder it will be for the FL learner to learn to speak that language
Summary
The process of learning a FL word is to map a novel sound pattern (which will be variable across speakers, dialects, emphases, etc.) to a particular semantic field that may (or may not) have an exact equivalent in the native language. Even this rudimentary description implicates a range of relevant variables: pronounceableness, familiarity with semantic content, and clear labeling of that meaning in the native language. We will briefly review established findings concerning such psycholinguistic variables before describing a study that assesses their effects on vocabulary learning
