Emanuel Bylund; Steven Samuel; Panos Athanasopoulos – Language Learning, 2024
Research has shown that speakers of different languages may differ in their cognitive and perceptual processing of reality. A common denominator of this line of investigation has been its reliance on the sensory domain of vision. The aim of our study was to extend the scope to a new sense-taste. Using as a starting point crosslinguistic…

Pérez-Sobrino, Paula; Littlemore, Jeannette; Houghton, David – Applied Linguistics, 2019
To date, research in advertising has focussed almost exclusively on metaphor, with linguists and marketing scholars paying very little attention to alternative types of figurative expression. Beyond the finding that metaphor leads to an increased appreciation of advertisements, there has been surprisingly little research into how consumer response…

Tobar-Henríquez, Anita; Rabagliati, Hugh; Branigan, Holly P. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Language use is intrinsically variable, such that the words we use vary widely across speakers and communicative situations. For instance, we can call the same entity "refrigerator" or "fridge." However, attempts to understand individual differences in how we process language have made surprisingly little progress, perhaps…

Beauvais, Clémentine; Ryland, Charlotte – Language, Culture and Curriculum, 2021
This paper presents findings from observations of literary translation workshops with secondary-school MFL pupils, revolving around a literary translation from L2 to L1 which does not require pre-existing language skills in the L2. Our research questions were: what skills do pupils mobilise when they work in groups on a literary translation? What…

Resnik, Pia – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2021
Research on inner speech is still in a nascent stage. The present paper investigates consecutive multilinguals' self-reported language use for inner speech with a focus on the L1 (first language) and L2 (second language). Its aim is to identify influential variables in these processes and to investigate if findings from previous studies are…

This study examines the potential of translation activities as a means for introducing a discourse approach to teaching culture in the beginner-level language classroom. For this purpose, a translation session was implemented to a group of beginner-level learners of Japanese at a UK university. Analysis of classroom interaction and students'…

Crutchley, Alison – Journal of Child Language, 2013
Children start producing ["necessary and sufficient"] conditionals relatively late. Past counterfactuals (PCFs), for example "If she had shut the cage, the rabbit wouldn't have escaped", are particularly problematic for children; despite evidence of comprehension in the preschool years, children aged eleven are still making…

Treffers-Daller, Jeanine; Calude, Andreea – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2015
Learning to talk about motion in a second language is very difficult because it involves restructuring deeply entrenched patterns from the first language. In this paper we argue that statistical learning can explain why L2 learners are only partially successful in restructuring their second language grammars. We explore to what extent L2 learners…

Atar, Cihat – Online Submission, 2014
This study aims at testing if Turkish L2 users of English process predictive conditionals different than Turkish monolingual speakers in accordance with Multi-competence Theory (Cook, 2003). For data collection grammaticality judgment tasks (GJTs) are used and unlike traditional GJTs, contexts are added to clarify the tasks. The participants…

Sanoudaki, Eirini; Thierry, Guillaume – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2015
Numerous studies have shown that bilinguals presented with words in one of their languages spontaneously and automatically activate lexical representations from their other language. However, such effects, found in varied experimental contexts, both in behavioural and psychophysiological investigations, have been essentially limited to the…
