Lauretta S. P. Cheng – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Social information is cognitively linked to linguistic information, evidenced by bidirectional influences on perceptual processing of speech. Models of sociophonetic cognition theorize that the way linguistic experiences are interpreted and stored in memory is mediated by listener attention, which is guided by ideology. This relationship, however,…

Thomas St. Pierre; Jida Jaffan; Craig G. Chambers; Elizabeth K. Johnson – Cognitive Science, 2024
Adults are skilled at using language to construct/negotiate identity and to signal affiliation with others, but little is known about how these abilities develop in children. Clearly, children mirror statistical patterns in their local environment (e.g., Canadian children using "zed" instead of "zee"), but do they flexibly…

Masood Khoshsaligheh; Azadeh Eriss; Milad Mehdizadkhani; Elnaz Pakar – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2024
Filmmakers increasingly resort to using multiple languages in their work to realistically reflect today's globalised world. However, this multiplicity poses specific challenges in the process of translation for dubbing. This study explores the rendition of Western multilingual films into Persian dubbed versions for the Iranian audience. Films as…

Péter Rácz; Ágnes Lukács – Cognitive Science, 2024
People learn language variation through exposure to linguistic interactions. The way we take part in these interactions is shaped by our lexical representations, the mechanisms of language processing, and the social context. Existing work has looked at how we learn and store variation in the ambient language. How this is mediated by the social…

Megan M. Dailey; Camille Straboni; Sharon Peperkamp – Second Language Research, 2024
During spoken word processing, native (L1) listeners use allophonic variation to predictively rule out word competitors and speed up word recognition. There is some evidence that second language (L2) learners develop an awareness of allophonic distributions in their L2, but whether they use their knowledge to facilitate word recognition online,…

Alaa Al-Maani; Shayne Sloggett; Nino Grillo; Heather Marsden – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2024
This study expands on previous research into filler-gap dependency processing in second language (L2) English, by means of a replication of Canales's (2012) self-paced reading study. Canales, among others, found that advanced L2-English speakers exhibited the same processing behavior that Stowe (1986) found for native English processing: On…

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…

Zhibin Shan; Hao Xu – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
Despite much research on how multilingual learners view the linguistic properties of language, how they perceive languages as cultural capital has been far less investigated. Drawing on the theories of social cognition, this study explores how multiple foreign language learners' impressions, as a lens to observe their multilingual awareness, are…

Kevin Parent; Stuart McLean; Brandon Kramer; Young Ae Kim – Reading in a Foreign Language, 2023
Graded readers are a great asset to learners acquiring the vocabulary of another language. Homonyms, on the other hand, are a recognized source of trouble for students with that same goal. Publishers of graded readers control the presentation of old and new words, but does this control extend to homonyms? Are only the word forms controlled for--in…

Von Holzen, Katie; van Ommen, Sandrien; White, Katherine S.; Nazzi, Thierry – Language Learning and Development, 2023
Successful word recognition requires that listeners attend to differences that are phonemic in the language while also remaining flexible to the variation introduced by different voices and accents. Previous work has demonstrated that American-English-learning 19-month-olds are able to balance these demands: although one-off one-feature…

Ana Espírito Santo; Nélia Alexandre; Sílvia Perpiñán – Second Language Research, 2024
This article reports on an experimental study on the acquisition of prepositional relative clauses in second language European Portuguese by Chinese native speakers. It focuses on the role of resumption, mandatory in prepositional relative clauses in Chinese (the native language of the learners) and non-conventional in European Portuguese (the…

Muna Abd El-Raziq; Natalia Meir; Elinor Saiegh-Haddad – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2024
Arabic is characterized by diglossia, which involves the use of two language varieties within a single speech community: Spoken Arabic (SpA) for everyday speech and Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) for formal speech and reading/writing. Earlier research suggests that some Arabic-speaking children with Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) might favor MSA…

Abdulaal, Mohammad Awad Al-Dawoody – TESOL International Journal, 2021
In this paper, the researcher aims at investigating and revisiting the impact of Krashen's input hypothesis on L2 output. Based on Krashen's theories, the researcher proposes the homogeneity hypothesis as an extension to the input hypothesis. Homogeneity hypothesis states that the linguistic input given to L2 learners should be not only…

Ebrahimzadeh Poustchi, Mahtab; Amirian, Zahra – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2021
A new trend in the creation of multimodal products has been to include various ethnicities and languages to be more representative of current societies. The presence of more than one language can be problematic and challenging for translators, and consequently, various scholars have attempted to propose possible strategies for rendering such…

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…
