Dale Brown; Phil Bennett; Geoffrey Pinchbeck – Vocabulary Learning and Instruction, 2025
Knowledge of derivational affixes makes an important contribution to second language learners' success when reading. Yet while the effects of some learner variables (L2 proficiency, L1 background) have been investigated, there has been little research addressing the effects of varying characteristics of affixes on their acquisition. The goal of…

Zhiliang Yue; Sugunya Ruangjaroon – LEARN Journal: Language Education and Acquisition Research Network, 2025
This study aims to provide a comprehensive profile of collocational competence, a key component of one's overall linguistic competence. For the maximum of ecological validity, we elicited naturalistic oral/written production data from 84 Chinese intermediate EFL learners and performed a 2×2 fashion of analysis on their performance in each of the…

Minjin Kim; Xiaofei Lu – Modern Language Journal, 2024
The effects of learner- and task-related variables on second language (L2) writing syntactic complexity (SC) have been extensively investigated. However, previous research has rarely assessed the reliability of computational tools for analyzing the SC of L2 spoken production, and we know less about the effects of such variables on L2 speaking SC.…

Jeongsoo Lim – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2024
As globalisation advances, an influx of loanwords has been seen in many languages in recent years. Japanese and Korean have similar grammatical features and many English-based loanwords. This study aims to clarify the difference in loanwords in Japanese and Korean adaptation, focusing on substituting alternative native lexicons through COVID-19.…

Thanachporn Varapongsittikul; Sujinat Jitwiriyanont – LEARN Journal: Language Education and Acquisition Research Network, 2025
This study aims to investigate the VOT values of English wordinitial plosive consonants produced by young Thai learners to understand current trends in English pronunciation among Thai speakers and its future direction. The study analyzes how phonological mismatches between Thai and English affect the pronunciation of Thai learners, using a speech…

Qin Luo; Wulin Ma – SAGE Open, 2024
In order to facilitate the instruction and acquisition of EFL writing, this paper compares the uses of the light verb "get" in English writing by Chinese and L1 undergraduates by drawing on insights from the theory of norms and exploitations (TNE). Corpus pattern analysis (CPA) is conducted to analyze the data taken from two comparable…

Toyese Najeem Dahunsi; Thompson Olusegun Ewata – Language Teaching Research, 2025
Multi-word expressions are formulaic language universals with arbitrary and idiosyncratic collocations. Their usage and mastery are required of learners of a second language in achieving naturalness. However, despite the importance of multi-word expressions to mastering a second language, their syntactic architecture and colligational…

Dong-Ok Won; Yu Kyoung Shin; Ho-Jung Kim; Isaiah WonHo Yoo – Language Assessment Quarterly, 2025
Despite the growing interest in AI for language assessment, there remains a significant research gap regarding its usefulness for assessing less proficient language skills, particularly those of learners of English as a second or foreign language (S/FL). AI models often prioritize proficient writing, neglecting the intricacies of learner language.…

Aaricia Ponnet; Ludovic De Cuypere – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2024
We investigated the acquisition of Hindi split ergativity (zero or "-ne" marking) and Hindi differential object marking (DOM; zero or "-ko" marking) by L1 speakers of Dutch. Both grammatical phenomena are conditioned by multiple syntactic and semantic features. On a descriptive level, the study aims to examine when and how…

Osei Yaw Akoto – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2024
This study proposes "grounding" as a theoretical approach to studying linguistic landscape (LL). Grounding is the positioning or sequencing of languages in a multilingual 'text' to reveal the languages' relevance or a community's association with the languages. The study explores language grounding in church names which constitute part…

Steven G. Gagnon – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Due to the typological differences between Korean's aspect system and English's aspect system in terms of progressive construction "-ko iss," learners can no doubt have difficulty acquiring and using the "-ko iss" construction in learner Korean. This dissertation investigates two main points: (i) how is the "-ko iss"…

Ivana Domazetoska; Helen Zhao – Australian Review of Applied Linguistics, 2025
The present study investigates L1 and L2 English speakers' knowledge of the "wh"-clausal construction along the parameters of (a) conventionality, distinguishing between high-frequency conventional and low-frequency unconventional formulations ("I asked him why they agreed/why did they agree"), and (b) proposition type,…

Christopher Nicklin – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Since corpus linguistics gained popularity as a methodology in the latter half of the 20th century, second language acquisition research has seen the emergence of work investigating formulaic language, such as idioms, lexical bundles, and collocations. A collocation is a string of words that co-occur more routinely than probability would predict,…

Keyi Han – Eurasian Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2024
Pragmatic markers, such as "well," "you know," and "I mean," serve as discourse-pragmatic elements in spoken language, facilitating discourse management, stance marking, and interpersonal communication. This study examines the acquisition of pragmatic markers by second language (L2) learners through a corpus-based…

Lin Chen; Charles Perfetti – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2024
Learning new words is fundamental in both first and second-language reading. There are, however, divided opinions on the best instructional approaches. Two widely used approaches across languages are whole-word focus and word-constituent focus. The appropriateness of each approach has varied historically, even within a single language (e.g., the…
