Alexandra M. A. Schmitterer; Caterina Gawrilow; Claudia Friedrich – Reading Research Quarterly, 2024
The collocation frequency of words in the language environment contributes to early vocabulary development. Vocabulary size, in turn, predicts children's reading comprehension skills later in development. Both collocation frequency and reading comprehension have been connected to inferential reasoning at different time points in development. Here,…

Layla Unger; Tyler Chang; Olivera Savic; Benjamin K. Bergen; Vladimir M. Sloutsky – Developmental Science, 2024
Although identifying the referents of single words is often cited as a key challenge for getting word learning off the ground, it overlooks the fact that young learners consistently encounter words in the context of other words. How does this company help or hinder word learning? Prior investigations into early word learning from children's…

Helen Hint; Helena Lemendik; Christer Johansson; Djuddah A. J. Leijen – Written Communication, 2025

Louise Paatsch; Andrea Nolan; Natalie Robertson – Volta Review, 2024
Play, while complex, is essential for children's learning and development. It is well established in the literature that there is a strong link between children's pretend play abilities and their language skills, particularly in relation to the use of language in social contexts. For many children who are deaf and hard of hearing (DHH), pretend…

It is important that the speaker should be aware of the meaning and functioning of the emotive vocabulary when applied. The purpose of this study was to examine how emotive vocabulary can affect communicators in expressing conflict. The qualitative…

Danielle S. Fox; Leanne Elliott; Heather J. Bachman; Elizabeth Votruba-Drzal; Melissa E. Libertus – Child Development, 2024
Children's spatial activities and parental spatial talk were measured to examine their associations with variability in preschoolers' spatial skills (N = 113, Mage = 4 years, 4 months; 51% female; 80% White, 11% Black, and 9% other). Parents who reported more diversity in daily spatial activities and used longer spatial talk utterances during a…

Yuki Arita – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2024
This conversation analytic study offers an empirical analysis of the Japanese turn-initial interjection "are." The interjectional "are" is said to be pragmatized from its use as a distal demonstrative and has been considered as an expression of a speaker's internal state of being surprised at something. In contrast, this study…

Yue Ma; Lucy Pappas; Xinwu Zhang; Tianli Feng; Sarah Eve-Dill; Scott Rozelle; Ann Weber – Applied Developmental Science, 2024
Research suggests that elements of the family environment may have significant associations with cognitive and language development outcomes. Less is known, however, about the family environment in peri-urban China, where rates of cognitive and language delay in children aged 0-3 years are as high as 51% and 54%, respectively. Using data collected…

Magid Aldekhan; Shirley O'Neill – Eurasian Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2024
As a kind of indirect and coded language, metonymy not only inspires others but also helps one to reach goals set by cultural standards, society values, practices, and beliefs. Metonymy's rhetorical power comes from its ability to change meaning from a literal interpretation to an intended conceptual message, therefore enabling communication both…

Schott, Esther; Tamayo, Maria Paula; Byers-Heinlein, Krista – Infant and Child Development, 2023
Bilingual infants acquire languages in a variety of language environments. Some caregivers follow a one-person-one-language approach in an attempt to not "confuse" their child. However, the central assumption that infants can keep track of what language a person speaks has not been tested. In two studies, we tested whether bilingual and…

Jordan M. Wheeler; Allan S. Cohen; Shiyu Wang – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2024
Topic models are mathematical and statistical models used to analyze textual data. The objective of topic models is to gain information about the latent semantic space of a set of related textual data. The semantic space of a set of textual data contains the relationship between documents and words and how they are used. Topic models are becoming…

Lavigne, Cheryl S.; Tremblay, Kathryn A.; Binder, Katherine S. – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2022
The goal of this study was to describe how underlying vocabulary knowledge manifests into vocabulary usage, and in turn, how usage predicts writing quality among adult basic education (ABE) learners. ABE learners were administered tasks that measured vocabulary knowledge, in the forms of both vocabulary breadth and depth. Participants were also…
