Agnieszka Stepkowska – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2024
The paper focuses on the communication of three bilingual couples, each speaking a different lingua franca (LF). Positioning theory offers a methodological framework to explain language choice in interactive positioning within personal contacts. A comparative view of the couples' storylines benefits from the differences between them. The analysis…

Cooper, Angela; Paquette-Smith, Melissa; Bordignon, Caterina; Johnson, Elizabeth K. – Language Learning and Development, 2023
Foreign accents can vary considerably in the degree to which they deviate from the listener's native accent, but little is known about how the relationship between a speaker's accent and a listener's native language phonology mediates adaptation. Using an artificial accent methodology, we addressed this issue by constructing a set of three…

de la Cruz-Pavía, Irene; Elordieta, Gorka; Villegas, Julián; Gervain, Judit; Laka, Itziar – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2022
In two artificial language learning experiments with four groups of highly proficient Basque-Spanish bilinguals and two groups of Spanish monolinguals, we examine the cues that allow adult listeners to parse new input into phrases. In addition, we investigate which factors lead bilinguals to switch between the segmentation strategies…

Fukuta, Junya; Yamashita, Junko – Second Language Research, 2023
This study investigates how implicit and explicit learning and knowledge are associated, by focusing on the salience of target form--meaning connections. The participants were engaged in incidental learning of artificial determiner systems that included grammatical rules of [± plural] (a taught rule), [± actor] (a more salient hidden rule), and [±…

Poletiek, Fenna H.; Monaghan, Padraic; van de Velde, Maartje; Bocanegra, Bruno R. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Language is infinitely productive because syntax defines dependencies between grammatical categories of words and constituents, so there is interchangeability of these words and constituents within syntactic structures. Previous laboratory-based studies of language learning have shown that complex language structures like hierarchical center…

Chen, Tsung-Ying – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2020
In two artificial grammar learning experiments, we tested the learnability of tonal phonotactics forbidding non-domain-final rising tones (*NonFinalR) against the phonotactics banning non-domain-final high-level tones (*NonFinalH). We propose that a firm phonetic ground drives a presumably innate inductive bias favoring *NonFinalR and against…

Ordin, Mikhail; Nespor, Marina – Language Learning and Development, 2016
A major problem in second language acquisition (SLA) is the segmentation of fluent speech in the target language, i.e., detecting the boundaries of phonological constituents like words and phrases in the speech stream. To this end, among a variety of cues, people extensively use prosody and statistical regularities. We examined the role of pitch,…

Rogers, John – Language Awareness, 2017
Recent years have witnessed a strong and increasing interest in the incidental learning of second language grammar. While much of this research has focused on the acquisition of second language word order or noun-determiner systems, relatively fewer studies have examined the learning of second language morphology. Results of studies that have…
