Peristeri, Eleni; Tsimpli, Ianthi-Maria; Tsapkini, Kyrana – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2013
We investigated the on-line processing of unaccusative and unergative sentences in a group of eight Greek-speaking individuals diagnosed with Broca aphasia and a group of language-unimpaired subjects used as the baseline. The processing of unaccusativity refers to the reactivation of the postverbal trace by retrieving the mnemonic representation…

Blom, Elma; Baayen, Harald R. – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2013
It has been argued that children learning a second language (L2) omit agreement inflection because of communication demands. The conclusion of these studies is that L2 children know the morphological and syntactic properties of agreement inflection, but sometimes insert an inflectional default form (i.e., the bare verb) in production. The present…

Yoshimura, Yuki; MacWhinney, Brian – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2010
Case marking is the major cue to sentence interpretation in Japanese, whereas animacy and word order are much weaker. However, when subjects and their cases markers are omitted, Japanese honorific and humble verbs can provide information that compensates for the missing case role markers. This study examined the usage of honorific and humble verbs…

Ayoun, Dalila – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1996
Investigates the applicability of the Subset Principle in the second-language acquisition of the Oblique-Case Parameter by 45 learners of French. The results of a grammaticality judgment task and a correction task provide partial support for the Subset Principle. Further research is needed to conclude whether the Oblique-Case Parameter really is a…

Azuma, Shoji; Meier, Richard P. – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1997
Argues that a pattern analogous to that in speech errors also appears in intrasentential code-switching, i.e., the alternating use of two languages in a sentence by bilinguals. Notes that studies of spontaneous conversation of bilinguals indicate that open class items may be code-switched, but closed class items may not. (41 references) (Author/CK)

Issidorides, Diana C.; Hulstijn, Jan H. – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1992
The question explored is whether native speakers'"simplified" or modified utterances, as in foreigner-talk (FT), actually facilitate comprehension for nonnative speakers hearing such utterances. It is concluded that linguistically more complex input will not necessarily impede comprehension. (49 references) (Author/LB)

Mimica, Ivo; And Others – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1994
Effects of case inflections, gender agreement, noun animacy, and word position on decisions and reaction times were explored for agent-object assignments in Croatian, a case-marking language. Results support the view that there may be constraints on the particular combinations of cues that may converge to facilitate, or compete to inhibit,…

Grammaticality Judgments in a Second Language: Influences of Age of Acquisition and Native Language.

McDonald, Janet L. – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2000
Native Spanish early and late acquirers of English and Vietnamese early and child acquirers of English made grammaticality judgments of sentences in their second language. Native acquirers of English were not distinguishable from native English speakers, whereas native Spanish late acquirers had difficulty with all aspects of the grammar tested…

Miranda, Elisabeth A.; McCabe, Allysa; Bliss, Lynn S. – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1998
Investigates the discourse coherence of school-aged children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI). Children with SLI were found to be significantly impaired in the areas of topic maintenance, event sequencing, explicitness, conjunctive cohesion, and fluency. Theoretical and clinical implications of the results are discussed. (Author/ER)

Chen, Shu-Hui Eileen – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1998
The pragmatic function of conveying given and new information is one of the most important universal communicative functions that language serves. This study investigates how Mandarin-speaking children and adults utilize surface cues of word order, marked grammatical structure, and emphatic stress to determine whether information is given or new…
