Lukas Eibensteiner – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2024
Research has shown that non-native background languages (L2s) can play an important role in the acquisition of an L3/L[subscript n].

The present study therefore analyses the acquisition…

Breno Silva; Valentina Ragni; Agnieszka Otwinowska; Agnieszka Szarkowska – Language Learning & Technology, 2024
Existing research shows that identical cognates are read more quickly than noncognates. However, most studies focused on words presented in isolation or embedded in sentences. To address this gap, our exploratory eye-tracking study is the first to investigate the processing of cognates and noncognates in English subtitles. First, we tested whether…

David Allen – Language Teaching Research, 2025
When inferring the meaning of unknown words in a second language, learners make use of a variety of cues including the cross-linguistic formal similarities of loanwords and cognates. However, because learners do not always recognize these cross-linguistic relationships, cognate strategy training has been recommended. The present study investigated…

Tim Stoeckel; Tomoko Ishii – Vocabulary Learning and Instruction, 2024
In an upcoming coverage-comprehension study, we plan to assess learners' meaning-recall knowledge of words as they occur in the study's reading passage. As several meaning-recall test formats exist, the purpose of this small-scale study (N = 10) was to determine which of three formats was most similar to a criterion interview regarding mean score…

Yueqingzhou Ma; Norbert Vanek – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2024
Research on first language (L1) attrition typically focuses on immigrant populations in their second language (L2) environment, yet we know comparably little about L1 attrition in the L1 setting. This study used two lexical tasks to test L1 attrition, a time-sensitive word decision task and a video retelling. Chinese teachers of English vs.…
