What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Linguistics
- Artificial intelligence
- Semantics
His primary areas of study are Linguistics, Vocabulary, Literal and figurative language, Metaphor and Semantics.
His studies deal with areas such as Teaching method and Set as well as Linguistics.
His Vocabulary study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Empirical evidence, Lexical approach, Language proficiency, Second-language acquisition and Psycholinguistics.
The various areas that Frank Boers examines in his Psycholinguistics study include Cognitive semantics and Language education.
His Literal and figurative language research includes elements of Recall, Vocabulary development and Meaning.
His work carried out in the field of Semantics brings together such families of science as Comprehension, Language acquisition, Language learner, Reading and Expression.
His most cited work include:
- Formulaic sequences and perceived oral proficiency: putting a Lexical Approach to the test (256 citations)
- Metaphor awareness and vocabulary retention (255 citations)
- An eye for words: Gauging the role of attention in incidental L2 vocabulary acquisition by means of eye-tracking (116 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Frank Boers spends much of his time researching Linguistics, Vocabulary, Cognitive psychology, Literal and figurative language and Second-language acquisition.
His Linguistics study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Teaching method.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Phrase structure rules and Fluency in addition to Teaching method.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Recall, Eye tracking, Eye movement and Reading.
The study of Literal and figurative language is intertwined with the study of Comprehension in a number of ways.
The concepts of his Second-language acquisition study are interwoven with issues in Developmental linguistics, Comprehension approach and Language pedagogy.
He most often published in these fields:
- Linguistics (57.81%)
- Vocabulary (21.88%)
- Cognitive psychology (13.54%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?
- Linguistics (57.81%)
- Vocabulary (21.88%)
- Recall (6.77%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary scientific interests are in Linguistics, Vocabulary, Recall, Teaching method and Reading.
His study in Language education, Second language, Grammar, First language and Memorization are all subfields of Linguistics.
Frank Boers is studying Vocabulary development, which is a component of Vocabulary.
His Teaching method research integrates issues from Phrase structure rules and Fluency.
His research integrates issues of Cognitive psychology, L2 learners and Multimodality in his study of Reading.
Frank Boers usually deals with Polysemy and limits it to topics linked to Cognitive semantics and Literal and figurative language.
Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Repeating a Monologue Under Increasing Time Pressure: Effects on Fluency, Complexity, and Accuracy (30 citations)
- On the benefits of multimodal annotations for vocabulary uptake from reading (20 citations)
- Does adding pictures to glosses enhance vocabulary uptake from reading (17 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Linguistics
- Artificial intelligence
- Semantics
His scientific interests lie mostly in Linguistics, Vocabulary, Recall, Reading and Teaching method.
Vocabulary development, Meaning, Phrase structure rules, Verb and Literal and figurative language are among the areas of Linguistics where the researcher is concentrating his efforts.
His Literal and figurative language study deals with Cognitive semantics intersecting with First language and Cognitive linguistics.
Within one scientific family, Frank Boers focuses on topics pertaining to Reading comprehension under Vocabulary, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Comprehension, Word recognition, Eye movement, Eye tracking and Fixation.
His research on Reading also deals with topics like
- L2 learners which is related to area like Textual information,
- Multimodality which intersects with area such as Foreign language, Natural language processing, Language acquisition, Artificial intelligence and Semantics.
His Teaching method study incorporates themes from Theoretical linguistics and Incidental learning.
