Kaylynn Gunter – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Speech is highly variable and systematic, governed by the internal linguistic system and socio-indexical factors. The systematic relationship of socio-indexical factors and variable phonetic forms, referred to here as "socio-indexical structure," has been the cornerstone of sociophonetic research over the last several decades. Research…

C. H. Padmanabha; Flavia P. D'Souza – Journal on English Language Teaching, 2023
In Krashen's theory of second-language acquisition he claims that there is distinction between language acquisition and language learning, a distinction which other second-language acquisition researchers have called "perhaps the most important conceptualization" in the field and which has made possible the most productive models of SLA.…

Bénédicte Grandon; Marcel Schlechtweg; Esther Ruigendijk – Journal of Child Language, 2023
The ability to process plural marking of nouns is acquired early: at a very young age, children are able to understand if a noun represents one item or more than one. However, little is known about how the segmental characteristics of plural marking are used in this process. Using eye-tracking, we aim at understanding how five to twelve-year old…

Jianyi Liu; Tengwen Fan; Yan Chen; Jingjing Zhao – npj Science of Learning, 2023
Statistical learning (SL) plays a key role in literacy acquisition. Studies have increasingly revealed the influence of distributional statistical properties of words on visual word processing, including the effects of word frequency (lexical level) and mappings between orthography, phonology, and semantics (sub-lexical level). However, there has…

Ian Morton; C. Melanie Schuele – First Language, 2024
Comprehension of sentences with a center-embedded, object-gapped relative clause (ORC) is challenging for children as well as adults. Mismatching lexical and grammatical features of subject noun phrases (NPs) across the main clause and relative clause has been shown to facilitate comprehension. Adani et al. concluded that children's comprehension…

Yang Liu – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
The use of smart technologies in bilingual education opens up new opportunities for language learning. This study aims to examine the influence of bilingualism on neural connections and brain activity in the context of education based on smart technologies. To achieve this goal, an experiment used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). An…

Arynn Simone Byrd – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This research examined how linguistic differences between African American English (AAE) and Mainstream American English (MAE) impact how children process sentences and learn new information. The central hypothesis of this dissertation is that these linguistic differences adversely impact how AAE-speaking children use contrastive inflectional verb…

Shuyuan Chen; Jinzuan Chen; Yanping Liu – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2024
Purpose: This study aims to examine whether binocular vision plays a facilitating or impeding role in lexical processing during sentence reading in Chinese. Method: Adopting the revised boundary paradigm, we orthogonally manipulated the parafoveal and foveal viewing conditions (monocular vs. binocular) of target words (high- vs. low-frequency)…

Masato Nakamura; Shota Momma; Hiromu Sakai; Colin Phillips – Cognitive Science, 2024
Comprehenders generate expectations about upcoming lexical items in language processing using various types of contextual information. However, a number of studies have shown that argument roles do not impact neural and behavioral prediction measures. Despite these robust findings, some prior studies have suggested that lexical prediction might be…

Ekaterina Andreevna Khlystova – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This dissertation investigates the interaction of developing extralinguistic cognitive systems with early language learning and processing through the case study of verb argument structure. The interaction of these systems with the linguistic system underpins fundamental theories of language learning and use: language does not exist in isolation.…

Noriko Iwashita; Phung Dao; Mai Xuan Nhat Chi Nguyen – Multilingual Matters, 2025
This book provides an overview and analysis of the role that classroom interaction plays in instructed second language acquisition. The authors synthesise current state-of-the-art research on how classroom interaction benefits L2 learning through the lens of three theoretical perspectives: cognitive-interactionist (with a focus on how…

Emotiology is a growing area of interdisciplinary research and academic discourse which focuses on the linguistic manifestation of emotions. This study employs psycholinguistic methodologies to examine the rationale behind word selection in emotional communication, integrating linguacultural, psycholinguistic, structural, and comparative analyses.…

Shuangjiao Wu; Mansour Amini; Omer Hassan Ali Mahfoodh – Eurasian Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2025
Research on modality shifts in English-to-Chinese courtroom translation remains limited, despite the critical role of modality in shaping legal nuance, and speaker intentionality in judicial settings. This gap is particularly consequential in high-stakes contexts such as the International Military Tribunal for the Far East (IMTFE), where…

Celina Agostinho; Anna Gavarró; Ana Lúcia Santos – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2025
This study examines the comprehension of verbal passives by children acquiring European Portuguese, in particular with respect to the predictions of the Universal Phase Requirement (UPR) and the Universal Freezing Hypothesis (UFH) regarding children's performance with different types of predicates. Both hypotheses entail the prediction that…

Jesse, Alexandra – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Speakers vary in their pronunciations of the sounds in their native language. Listeners use lexical knowledge to adjust their phonetic categories to speakers' idiosyncratic pronunciations. Lexical information can, however, be inconclusive or become available too late to guide this phonetic retuning. Sentence context is known to affect lexical…
