Paul Meara; Imma Miralpeix – Vocabulary Learning and Instruction, 2023
This paper is part 3 of a series of workshops that examine the properties of some simple models vocabulary networks. This Workshop focusses on how the vocabulary network responds when words become easier to activate. The Workshop is linked to an on-line practice room where readers can explore these processes for themselves.

Sonbul, Suhad; Siyanova-Chanturia, Anna – Language Teaching, 2021
Research employing psycholinguistic techniques to assess the on-line processing of collocation by native and non-native speakers has flourished in the past few years. This line of research aims (among other things) at exploring actual performance in real time as opposed to the traditional paper-and-pencil testing techniques that have been…

Lago, Sol; Mosca, Michela; Stutter Garcia, Anna – Language Learning, 2021
Multilingual research could offer a unique perspective on how the languages already acquired by a person affect the online processing of a new language. But it is currently difficult to assess this issue because theoretical accounts of multilingualism have focused on acquisition rather than processing and most empirical research to date has…

Xia, Vera Yunxiao; White, Lydia; Guzzo, Natália Brambatti – Second Language Research, 2022
This article reports on an experiment investigating the effects of featural Relativized Minimality (Friedmann et al., 2009) on the representation and processing of relative clauses in the second language (L2) English of Mandarin speakers. Object relatives (ORCs) are known to cause greater problems in first language (L1) acquisition and in adult…

Leal, Tania; Hoot, Bradley – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2022
Research on second-language (L2) acquisition has identified linguistic domains that appear to be especially difficult to learn--one such sticking point being syntactic structures that depend on the surrounding discourse. The Interface Hypothesis (IH) explains what makes such constructions problematic by appealing to a modular view of language,…

Gelormini-Lezama, Carlos – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2018
Anaphoric expressions such as repeated names, overt pronouns, and null pronouns serve a major role in the creation and maintenance of discourse coherence. The felicitous use of an anaphoric expression is highly dependent on the discourse salience of the entity introduced by the antecedent. Gordon et al. ("Cogn Sci" 17:311-347, 1993)…

Misersky, Julia; Majid, Asifa; Snijders, Tineke M. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2019
Grammatically masculine role-nouns (e.g., "Studenten"masc.'students') can refer to men and women but may favor an interpretation where only men are considered the referent. If true, this has implications for a society aiming to achieve equal representation in the workplace since, for example, job adverts use such role descriptions. To…

Fernanda Ferreira; Zoe Yang – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2019
Most research in psycholinguistics relies on online measures such as reading time to inform and test theories of language comprehension. However, the value of offline measures such as question-answering performance is sometimes overlooked in sentence processing work. Consequently, psycholinguists do not yet understand how the tasks and measures…

Vogelzang, Margreet; Foppolo, Francesca; Guasti, Maria Teresa; van Rijn, Hedderik; Hendriks, Petra – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2020
Different words generally have different meanings. However, some words seemingly share similar meanings. An example are null and overt pronouns in Italian, which both refer to an individual in the discourse. Is the interpretation and processing of a form affected by the existence of another form with a similar meaning? With a pupillary response…

Egusquiza, Nerea; Navarrete, Eduardo; Zawiszewski, Adam – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2016
High-frequency words are usually understood and produced faster than low-frequency words. Although the effect of word frequency is a reliable phenomenon in many domains of language processing, it remains unclear whether and how frequency affects pronominal anaphoric resolution. We evaluated this issue by means of two self-paced reading…

Jegerski, Jill – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2016
Grammatical agreement phenomena such as verbal number have long been of fundamental interest in the study of second language (L2) acquisition. Previous research from the perspective of sentence processing has documented nativelike behavior among nonnative participants but has also relied almost exclusively on grammar violation paradigms. The…

Lee, Yoonhyoung; Kwon, Youan; Gordon, Peter C. – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2015
Two experiments used eye-tracking during reading to investigate the role of the consistency of the relative markedness alignment of noun phrases (NPs) in the processing of complex sentences in Korean. To do so, the animacy of the first NP was varied in both experiments to manipulate the relative markedness of NPs. In addition, case markings of the…

Felser, Claudia; Drummer, Janna-Deborah – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2017
We report the results from two experiments examining native and non-native German speakers' sensitivity to crossover constraints on pronoun resolution. Our critical stimuli sentences contained personal pronouns in either strong (SCO) or weak crossover (WCO) configurations. Using eye-movement monitoring during reading and a gender-mismatch…

Hatfield, Hunter – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2016
A novel online reading methodology termed Self-Guided Reading (SGR) is examined to determine if it can successfully detect well-studied syntactic processing behaviours. In SGR, a participant runs their finger under masked text in order to reveal a sentence. It is therefore similar to self-paced reading in presentation of stimuli, but different in…

Feizabadi, Parvin Sadat; Bijankhan, Mahmood – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2015
This study examines the effect of non-sentential context prosody pattern on lexical activation in Persian. For this purpose a questionnaire including target and non-target words is used. The target words are homographs with two possible stress patterns belonging to different syntactic categories. Participants are asked to read out the words aloud…
