Critical Period refers to the actual time frame during which foreign language acquisition should take place. The study at hand does not look at the actual age, but at theories about why there is an age. Age comes as a result of factors that urge one into...

Analyses of the corpus, intelligent computing and language evolution on the ideological background of Systemic Functional Linguistics show that this theory focuses its research on language-in-use and is significantly quantitative in nature. It carries...

The few studies on academics' perceptions of quality in higher education treat academics as a homogeneous group and, therefore, do not point out crossdisciplinary perspectives in perceptions of quality. This article explores how academics across six disciplines perceive...
