Equitable learning must be provided to all students, including those with ASD. To determine the right intervention, an initial study of the ASD language profile is needed so that teachers and parents can choose the right help for their children. This study aimed to observe and report the actual language competence (pragmatics, phonology, morphology, and syntax) of ASD students in Indonesia. Language competence was observed for 6 months in 2024. Nine students, aged 12-16 years (male=7, female=2) in three inclusive schools were observed, tested, and their language competency was recorded. The results of the observations were analyzed and classified as a form of language barrier. The student's language profile shows that there are disorders in pragmatics (understanding spoken and written information), phonology (difficulty in pronunciation of the sounds /t/, /s/, and /h/), morphology (using some affixes in words and disorders in variations of word, difficulty in using verbs and nouns at the same time), and syntax (difficulty in constructing complex and contextual sentences). Students also exhibit echolalia, or word repetition, when speaking and writing. Therefore, Indonesian ASD students experience language barriers in the classroom. These show up as unique challenges in their pragmatic, phonological, morphological, and syntactic abilities. With these findings, it is hoped that the language profile of the impaired will be taken into consideration to provide learning interventions according to the character of Indonesian ASD students' language barriers.

M., Behney, J., & Plonsky, L. (2020). Second language acquisition: An introductory course. New York: Routledge, Pp. 774. ISBN 978-1-315-18175-2, £48.99 (paperback) Автори: Muftah, Muneera Короткий огляд (реферат): Susan M. Gass, Jennifer Behney, and Luke Plonsky's Second Language Acquisition: An Introductory Course, fifth edition, is a foundational textbook for the applied linguistics and second language acquisition (SLA) disciplines. Since its initial publication, the book has become a world-wide adopted and highly cited textbook, utilized on SLA, TESOL, and linguistics programs globally. In fact, every one of the previous editions has been reviewed and responded to critically by scholars such as Bridson (1995), Jourdain, (2010), Kraft, J. (2010), Leverett (2001) and Lewis (2016) over a number of decades, bearing witness to the book's long-standing influence and academic prominence. The current, fifth edition composed primarily for advanced undergraduates and graduate students, offers a wide-ranging but serious description of SLA theories, methodology, and applications. Its structure is rational and pedagogically motivated, with reflective questions, glossaries, and empirical references being fine scaffolds for new and experienced scholars. Through its eight parts and seventeen chapters, the textbook achieves not just explaining the what and how of SLA but also positioning the why, connecting theory with classroom realities and sociocultural ramifications.

Using a mixed-methods design, the research explores the prevalence of compassion fatigue among Journalism and Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation students, as well as the relationship between their media consumption patterns and emotional exhaustion. Quantitative data were collected via the Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS), and qualitative responses were gathered through an online survey assessing emotional responses to media content, preferred platforms, content types, and self-regulation strategies. Results indicate a high prevalence of fatigue among participants, associated with frequent exposure to emotionally charged content, especially on platforms such as Telegram and Instagram. Students report cognitive and emotional overload, reduced empathy, and diminished concentration and motivation. These findings suggest that excessive media consumption during societal crises is a significant risk factor for compassion fatigue. The study underscores the importance of integrating media hygiene, critical thinking, and emotional resilience training into educational programs for journalists and healthcare professionals, and proposes preventive strategies to reduce emotional exhaustion.

Drawing on research in executive functions and bilingual control, such as the frameworks proposed by Miyake and colleagues (2000), Green (1998), and Dong and Xie (2014), as well as recent advances in Cognitive Translation Studies and situated cognition, including the work of Risku and Rogl (2020), Tatsakovych (2021), and Pavlyk (2021), the study introduces a linguistic-cognitive model that connects time-based and structural features of interpreter output with quality assessment scales employed in professional training. Concentration is operationalized via ear-voice span (EVS) and a balance of cognitive load index (BKN), while inhibition is measured using a cognitive economy coefficient (KCE) and an emotional-cognitive equilibrium index (EKE), reflecting interpreters’ regulation of affective and analytical responses in real time. These indices are synthesized into a composite Cognitive Integration Index (CII), offering a comprehensive metric for interpreting performance. Empirical data were collected from a longitudinal experiment involving 68 MA interpreting students (English–Ukrainian, B2–C2) enrolled in a six-month “Simultaneous Interpreting Training” course (2 hours daily, 5 days per week, in 15-minute blocks with 5-minute breaks). Pre- and post-training recordings of simultaneous interpreting of political and diplomatic speeches were transcribed and annotated for EVS, pauses, self-repairs, and semantic compression; quality was rated by independent experts using EMT-based scales. Results indicate that concentration and inhibition in interpreting are not merely abstract psychological traits, but measurable and trainable cognitive skills. The study suggests that psycholinguistic monitoring, including EVS tracking and composite indices such as CII, can be integrated into interpreter education. Implications for aligning Ukrainian curricula with EMT standards and for interpreting in crisis and war-related contexts are discussed.

Addressing the issue, scholars have made significant advancements in methodological approaches. Yet, the operationalization and analysis of language proficiency, one of the major components of linguistic background, remain unsystematized. This study investigated how various measures of language proficiency and fluency differ in their ability to predict executive function performance in shifting. The Adaptive Control Hypothesis was the framework that motivated the study, with additional analysis of the effects of language proficiency and fluency as independent and interacting variables. The results from 68 Hungarian-English bilinguals showed that only performance in the category fluency task significantly predicted executive function abilities, and only when interacting with levels of engagement in interactional contexts. The study also highlighted that proficiency and fluency are related but not interchangeable constructs; however, further investigations and strict operationalization of the two concepts are necessary to understand the relation between interactional contexts and executive function.

This research aims to bridge the gap by providing descriptive norms for various psycholinguistic (familiarity, concreteness, figurativeness) and affective (valence, arousal) properties of animal-based Indonesian idioms and exploring the relationship between these properties. Employing a quantitative research design, this study utilized the corpus method to collect data from diverse Indonesian online texts, news articles, short stories, and editorials. A total of 201 Indonesian native speakers rated 129 animal-based idioms using a Likert scale. To ensure robustness of data, data analysis involved descriptive statistical analysis, Pearson’s correlation, and partial correlation. The results showed that animal-based Indonesian idioms tend to evoke a neutral emotional response, with moderate familiarity, and are more concrete than figurative, with a moderate arousal level. These findings underscore that animal-based idioms are neutral when describing objects but carry negative connotations when referring to human characteristics. In this case, idioms serve as a politeness strategy to maintain social harmony. The implications of this study open the way for interdisciplinary research in language and culture, especially regarding idioms.

The research examines the use of emotions across English-language media outlets, explaining their rhetorical functions and their potential for ideological influence. Using a purpose-built corpus of 488 full-length news articles published between February 2022 and early 2025, we utilise the Emotion English DistilRoBERTa-base model, fine-tuned for effective classification. This model assigns Ekman’s (1992) six basic emotions (anger, disgust, fear, enjoyment, sadness, surprise), plus a neutral class, and enables analysis of their distribution across 14 thematic categories and four media domains: the US, the UK, the EU, and global. We investigate the relationship between dominant emotions and 18 manually coded emotionally manipulative tactics. The main findings of the research indicate that negative emotions, most notably fear and anger, predominate in the corpus, functioning as discursive tools for mobilisation, blame, and perception shaping. Sadness and disgust are primarily associated with humanitarian reporting, while enjoyment and surprise remain marginal. Although neutral tone is less emotionally charged, it plays a rhetorical role in diplomatic and strategic reporting, framing neutrality as a deliberate perspective rather than emotional engagement. The research reveals that emotionally manipulative tactics, such as fear-based mobilisation, emphasis on the scale of tragedy, and victim-aggressor contrast, are widely employed across all media outlets, yet differ in frequency and function depending on media origin. The findings obtained emphasise the pivotal role of emotional framing in shaping audience engagement and moral alignment. This paper deepens understanding of digital war reporting, offering insights into how automated emotion detection, alongside discourse analysis, can expose the latent ideological functions of emotion in English-language news coverage. The study contributes to media discourse analysis and highlights the methodological value of computational methods in detecting emotional manipulation in news coverage.

This study examines the conceptual, narrative, and linguistic properties of feminist narratives and their Ukrainian translations, focusing on Bonnie Garmus’s novel, Lessons in Chemistry. The novel exemplifies contemporary feminist literature by exploring the intersection of gender, professional identity, and societal expectations through both personal and collective women’s experiences. Using a multi-layered analytical framework that integrates conceptual, narrative, lexical-semantic, and translation analyses, this research investigates the strategic construction of feminist narratives and reveals cognitive and narrative modeling within the strategy of feminisation in the original text and its Ukrainian translation. The analysis emphasizes key narrative elements such as the narrator and focaliser and their cognitive foundations. The results show close relationships among author, narrator, main character, and focaliser in feminist narratives, which are overtly feminist, as the story is presented with profound support for and understanding of the female protagonist’s position. In Lessons in Chemistry, the strategy of feminisation shapes the narrative and is realized at conceptual, narrative, and lexical levels through cognitive and narrative tools including conceptual metaphor, plot, narrator, focalisation, character, and lexical and stylistic means. This approach presupposes "herstory" as the foundation underpinning the plot, while the conceptual metaphor WOMEN’S LIFE IS A GLASS CEILING permeates the narrative structure. In the Ukrainian translation, the feminisation strategy is also evident through the systematic use of feminitives.

Nowadays, the influence of stimulus format is a topic of discussion. According to some studies, the use of different visual formats affects concept recognition. Moreover, previous research has found that the use of either drawings or photos differentially influences the recognition of living things (LTs) and nonliving things (NLTs). However, other studies did not identify differences across formats. This study aimed to assess whether the visual format of pictorial stimuli affects performance in an oral naming task, particularly across semantic domains: LTs and NLTs. Fifty-six Spanish-speaking adults were randomly assigned to name the same set of concepts in coloured drawings or in photograph format. Accuracy and reaction times were analysed using generalised and linear mixed-effects models, respectively, with random intercepts for participants and items. No significant differences in accuracy were found between formats or semantic domains. However, participants named photographs significantly faster than drawings. Although NLTs were named faster than LTs, the difference did not reach statistical significance. While both formats yielded comparable accuracy, photographs facilitated faster lexical access, likely due to their higher visual iconicity. These findings supported the use of photographs in clinical, educational, and experimental research. The study also highlighted the value of using mixed-effects models and the need to develop culturally adapted pictorial sets for Latin American populations.

The authors explore problems with vowel pronunciation among 6 male and 6 female participants aged 20-22 years, with B1-B2 French proficiency, at Al-Hussein Bin Talal University in Jordan. The study employed quantitative and qualitative analyses to examine learners' phonetic recordings. The results suggest that the front rounded vowels (/y/, /ø/, /oe/) are the hardest to learn because they don't exist in Arabic and require labio-lingual articulation. The average success rate is only 27.7%. The back rounded vowels (/u/, /o/, /ɔ/, /ɑ/) and the front unrounded vowels (/i/, /e/, /ɛ/, /a/) are easier to learn (90% and 79%, respectively) since they are present or similar to those in Arabic. The persistent presence of errors, despite extensive training, indicates that students require explicit teaching, including perceptual training, visual feedback, and articulatory coordination exercises. The findings emphasise the significance of the L1 and corroborate the notions stated by Flege and Bohn (2021) and Best (1995).
