Cheng-Yu Hsieh; Marco Marelli; Kathleen Rastle – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
Most printed Chinese words are compounds built from the combination of meaningful characters. Yet, there is a poor understanding of how individual characters contribute to the recognition of compounds. Using a megastudy of Chinese word recognition (Tse et al., 2017), we examined how the lexical decision of existing and novel Chinese compounds was…

Schaper, Marie Luisa; Kuhlmann, Beatrice G.; Bayen, Ute J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Item memory and source memory are different aspects of episodic remembering. To investigate metamemory differences between them, the authors assessed systematic differences between predictions of item memory via Judgments of Learning (JOLs) and source memory via Judgments of Source (JOSs). Schema-based expectations affect JOLs and JOSs…

Galioto, Carmelo; Pérez Navarro, Camila – Paedagogica Historica: International Journal of the History of Education, 2023
This paper aims to recognise the transformations in the concept of quality as formulated by Chilean educational policies between 1985 and 1990, at the beginning of the educational privatisation process. Using a conceptual history approach allowed us to analyse the meanings attributed to the concept of quality in the design and implementation of…

Maciejewski, Greg; Klepousniotou, Ekaterini – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Semantic ambiguity has been shown to slow comprehension, although it is unclear whether this ambiguity disadvantage is attributable to competition in semantic activation or difficulties in response selection. We tested the two accounts by examining semantic relatedness decisions to homonyms, or words with multiple unrelated meanings (e.g.,…

M. M. Elsherif; J. C. Catling – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2024
Purpose: Adults recognize words that are acquired during childhood more quickly than words acquired during adulthood. This is known as the Age of Acquisition (AoA) effect. The AoA effect, according to the integrated account, manifests in tasks necessitating greater semantic processing and in tasks with arbitrary input-output mapping. Compound…

Natalie Bleijlevens; Tanya Behne – Developmental Psychology, 2024
Upon hearing a novel label, listeners tend to assume that it refers to a novel, rather than a familiar object. While this disambiguation or mutual exclusivity (ME) effect has been robustly shown across development, it is unclear what it involves. Do listeners use their pragmatic and lexical knowledge to exclude the familiar object and thus select…

Cohen-Koka, Shirit; Nir, Bracha; Meir, Irit – Sign Language Studies, 2023
This article discusses the function of a particular feature of sign language--mouth action--as it is expressed in various discourse contexts. Specifically, we examine forms of mouthing and mouth gesture as they are used in signed narrative and expository texts, highlighting the signers' choices during the production of these two text types. We…

Kiefer, Markus; Harpaintner, Marcel; Rohr, Michaela; Wentura, Dirk – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Ratings of perceptual experience on a trial-by-trial basis are increasingly used in masked priming studies to assess prime awareness. It is argued that such subjective ratings more adequately capture the content of phenomenal consciousness compared to the standard objective psychophysical measures obtained in a session after the priming…

Aveledo, Fraibet; Sanchez-Alonso, Sara; Piñango, Maria Mercedes – First Language, 2022
The delayed acquisition of Spanish "ser" and "estar" is generally understood as rooted in the cognitive demands imposed by the integration of semantic-pragmatic and world-knowledge factors associated with their lexical meanings. Here we ask (1) what is the nature of this language world-knowledge integration? and (2) what is the…

Qian, Leyi; Li, Kangxi; Cheng, Yan – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2023
The aim of this study is to shed light on the learnability regarding usages of three English articles ("a," "the" and zero) among Chinese EFL learners. To this end, three tasks were administered in a pool of 107 participants to examine the extent to which learners can accurately use articles across different semantic contexts…

Pagliarini, Elena; Reyes, Marta Andrada; Guasti, Maria Teresa; Crain, Stephen; Gavarró, Anna – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2021
In English, the sentence "Mary didn't eat pizza or sushi" is assigned the "neither interpretation" (both disjuncts must be false). In Mandarin Chinese, the equivalent sentence is assigned the at least one interpretation (at least one disjunct must be false). The cross-linguistic variation in the interpretation of negative…

Tuna, Didem; Çelik, Begüm – Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 2021
In "The Light of Day," Eric Ambler creates a dysphoric Istanbul through the opposition of East and West. However, its Turkish translation "Gün Isigi" by Adnan Semih Yazicioglu tends to create a very different narrative by transforming signs related to Istanbul and some Orientalist clichés. In this study, the image of the East…

Pintér, Lilla; Surányi, Balázs – First Language, 2023
Previous research has uncovered that, despite the omnipresence of focus in utterances, children typically do not compute the exhaustivity inference associated with cleft(-like) syntactic focus constructions at adult-like levels before 7 years of age. Children's comparable limitations with lexically triggered scalar implicatures, inferences with an…

Nadia Lana; Victor Kuperman – Language Learning and Development, 2024
This study investigates the role of emotional linguistic input in learning novel words with abstract and concrete denotations. It is widely accepted that concrete words are processed more easily than abstract ones. Several theories of vocabulary acquisition additionally propose a critical role of sensorimotor and emotional information during novel…

Debra Myhill; Abdelhamid M. Ahmed; Esmaeel Abdollahzadeh; Lameya M. Rezk – Language Awareness, 2024
Research in metadiscourse has foregrounded the multiple ways in which writers build a relationship with readers through internal discourse. Yet, few studies consider the relationship between the texts writers create and the metalinguistic thinking which informs their decision-making as writers. This paper draws on data from a larger study which…
