Juliana Ronderos; Anny Castilla-Earls; Arturo E. Hernandez; Lisa Fitton – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: This study investigated the dimensionality of language in bilingual children using measures of semantics and morphosyntax in English and Spanish. Method: Participants included 112 Spanish-English bilingual children ages 4-8 years from a wide range of language abilities and dominance profiles. Using measures of semantics and morphosyntax…

Seamus Donnelly; Caroline Rowland; Franklin Chang; Evan Kidd – Cognitive Science, 2024
Prediction-based accounts of language acquisition have the potential to explain several different effects in child language acquisition and adult language processing. However, evidence regarding the developmental predictions of such accounts is mixed. Here, we consider several predictions of these accounts in two large-scale developmental studies…

Amy S. Pratt; Kathleen Durant; Elizabeth D. Peña; Lisa M. Bedore – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: This study used structural equation modeling to investigate the dimensionality of language in Spanish-English bilingual kindergartners. Five theoretical models were compared, including (a) a unidimensional model; (b) a two-dimensional model by language (Spanish, English); (c) a three-dimensional model by domain of language (phonology,…

Moneus, Ahmed Mohammed Ahmed; Al-Inbari, Fatima Abdullah Yahya; Mahdi, Hassan Saleh – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2023
This study investigated challenges that Saudi undergraduate learners face in translating oil contracts from English into Arabic. The study used a quantitative approach of data collection. The sample of this study consisted of 18 Saudi undergraduate learners of transaction departments at some Saudi universities. To achieve the objectives of this…

Lin Wang – SAGE Open, 2024
Based on the bilingual children's and adults' code-switching (CS) dependency treebanks, this paper investigates the syntactic features and pragmatic functions of the Chinese-English bilingual children's CS and compares them with bilingual adults'. It is mainly found that (1) As to the bilingual children, the mixed sentences present the longest…

Purpose: The current study examines bilingual children's development of Spanish and English morphosyntax structures over the period of 1 year. Identification of morphosyntax forms clustered by difficulty can elucidate their development and guide clinicians to select appropriate targets for intervention and monitoring. Specifically, we aim to…

Saad Aldosari; Lauren Covey; Alison Gabriele – Second Language Research, 2024
We investigate sensitivity to island constraints in English native speakers and Najdi Arabic learners of English, examining (1) whether second language (L2) learners whose native language (L1) does not instantiate overt "wh"-movement are sensitive to island constraints and (2) the source of island effects. Under a grammatical account of…

Menglan Wang; Guiying Jiang; Yan Cheng – SAGE Open, 2024
This corpus-based multifactorial study delves deeper into the well-known alternation between bare and full infinitive complements, specifically regarding the "help" concordances. It extends the line of research to learners' language productions with a focus on comparing and contrasting the probabilistic grammatical knowledge reflected in…

Amal Abdelsattar Metwally; Wagdi Rashad Ali Bin-Hady; Eisa Asiri – International Journal of Language Education, 2024
Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered translation influxes in the translation industry. Yet, questions have arisen about the quality of AI-powered translation systems (AIPTSs). Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the translation quality generated by ChatGPT for the Farewell Sermon. Using House's (2015) model of translation quality assessment…

Roy Seo; Chantel S. Prat – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Bilinguals employ both global and local control mechanisms to manage coactivated languages that compete for selection, yet little is known about how they operate on morphosyntactic information. The current study investigated bilingual language control mechanisms for a morphosyntactic production task. Across two experiments, 48 early…

Goodrich, J. Marc; Fitton, Lisa; Thayer, Lauren – Annals of Dyslexia, 2023
Understanding factors that influence reading achievement among bilingual children is considerably more complex than it is for monolingual children. Research on dual language development indicates that bilingual children's oral language abilities are often distributed across languages in varied ways, due to heterogeneity of dual language exposure…

Anny Castilla-Earls; Amanda Owen Van Horne – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility of the delivery of complex syntax recast therapy via telepractice to Spanish-English bilingual children and provide preliminary evidence of the efficacy of this approach. Method: Fifteen bilingual children with developmental language disorders were stratified based on language…

Typing slows at the middle of the word. The exact nature of the slowdown is still disputed. Research on attentional and motoric effects in typing suggests that the slowdown is purely a function of chunking of letters in creating the motor output; this approach posits no further influence of linguistic information during output. Research from a…
