Jee Eun Sung; Eunha Jo; Sujin Choi; Jiyeon Lee – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine whether older adults exhibit reduced abilities in coordinating lexical retrieval and syntactic formulation during sentence production and whether an individual's working memory capacity predicts age-related changes in sentence production. Method: A total of 124 Korean-speaking individuals (79 young…

Özlem Sensoy; Anna Krasotkina; Antonia Götz; Barbara Höhle; Gudrun Schwarzer – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2024
The current study examined to what extent face and speech processing interact with each other and whether they enhance or impair the processing of the other in 5-year-olds (n = 51) and adults (n = 34). Using a computer-based speeded sorting task allowed to directly test the influence of auditory speech on face processing and the influence of face…

Anna Gavarró; Alejandra Keidel – First Language, 2024
This study delves into the syntactic parsing abilities of children and infants exposed to Catalan as their first language. Focusing first on ages 3 to 6, we conducted two sentence-picture matching tasks. In experiment 1, 3 to 4-year-old children failed in identifying singular third-person subjects within null-subject sentences, although they…

Maria Kaltsa; Despina Papadopoulou – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2024
The aim of the study is to examine the effect of sentential context on lexical ambiguity resolution in Greek adults and typically developing children. Context and word frequency are factors that can affect lexical processing, however, the role of them has not been thoroughly examined in Greek. To this aim, we assessed sentence context effects in…

While previous studies have explored students' use of different AI tools for academic purposes, studies that have specifically investigated students' use of ChatGPT for dishonest academic purposes in Nigeria are lacking. The consequence of this contextual and knowledge gap is a lack of specific understanding regarding students' engagement with…

Ibrahim A. Asadi; Abeer Asli-Badarneh; Duaa Abu Elhija; Jasmeen Mansour-Adwan – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: This study examines whether differences in acquisition exist among the inflectional constructions of number, gender, possessive pronouns, and tense. Moreover, the study investigates whether these inflectional patterns develop with age. Method: The participants were 1,020 Arabic-speaking kindergartners from K2 and K3. Children were…

Ibrahim Abba Mohammed; Ahmed Bello; Bala Ayuba – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
In spite of the emergence of studies seeking to integrate chatbot into education, there is a wide literature gap in the Nigerian contexts. While most studies focus on the design and development of chatbots, there exists a very scarce literature on the effect of ChatGPT chatbot on students' achievement. To address this gap, this study checked the…

Gao, Na; Zhou, Peng; Thornton, Rosalind; Crain, Stephen – First Language, 2021
It has long been noted that verb phrase (VP) ellipsis cancels the polarity sensitivity of the English Positive Polarity Items (PPIs). In recent work, it has been proposed that words for disjunction are governed by a parameter. On one value of the parameter, disjunction is a PPI for adult speakers of many languages including Mandarin Chinese. On…

Okumura, Yuko; Oshima-Takane, Yuriko; Kobayashi, Tessei; Ma, Michelle; Kayama, Yuhko – Language Learning and Development, 2023
In successful communication, it is critical to have the ability to identify what a speaker is referring to from previously mentioned information. This ability requires the identification of the topic initially introduced by lexical forms and its continuity in discourse expressed by anaphora such as null and pronominal forms in the subsequent…

Shin, Gyu-Ho; Deen, Kamil Ud – Language Learning and Development, 2023
The present study investigates the role of three structural factors ("word order," "case-marking," and "verbal morphology") in the comprehension of the Korean suffixal passive by Korean-speaking children. To measure the relative impact of each factor on the comprehension of the passive, we devise a novel method where…

Lister, Casey J.; Burtenshaw, Tiarn; Walker, Bradley; Ohan, Jeneva L.; Fay, Nicolas – Child Development, 2021
Naturalistic studies show that children can create language-like communication systems in the absence of conventional language. However, experimental evidence is mixed. We address this discrepancy using an experimental paradigm that simulates naturalistic sign creation. Specifically, we tested if a sample of 6- to 12-year-old children (52 girls…

Keles, Onur; Atmaca, Furkan; Gökgöz, Kadir – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2022
Using a free-recall paradigm, we explored the effects of age of acquisition and category size on verbal fluency in Turkish Sign Language (Türk Isaret Dili [TID]). We studied the semantic and phonological fluency task performances of deaf native and deaf late adult signers. We measured the number of correct responses and performed a time course…

Nufar Sukenik – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2025
Relative clauses (RCs) are complex syntactic structures because they consist of multiple clauses and involve syntactic movement. RCs are known as a reliable clinical marker of syntactic impairment across many different languages and populations. Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) struggle with the comprehension and production of RCs,…

Angelopoulos, Nikos; Bagioka, Dafni-Vaia; Terzi, Arhonto – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2023
The most recent studies on the acquisition of evidentiality, be it morphologically or syntactically encoded, have argued that the comprehension lag detected is due to factors having to do with others' authority or mental perspective, where "others" stands for other individuals involved in the experiment in various manners (e.g., the…

Kawar, Khaloob; Saiegh-Haddad, Elinor; Armon-Lotem, Sharon – First Language, 2023
The current study investigates narrative retelling and comprehension among 30 native Arabic-speaking preschool children with a mean age of 5:10. Narrative features of text-complexity (less-complex and more-complex episodic structure) and language variety (Spoken Palestinian Arabic [PA] and Modern Standard Arabic [MSA]) were analyzed for their…
