Mason A. Wirtz; Simone E. Pfenninger – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2023
This study is the first to investigate subject-level variability in sociolinguistic evaluative judgements by 30 adult L2 German learners and explore whether the observed variability is characterizable as a function of individual differences in proficiency, exposure, and motivation. Because group-level estimates did not paint an accurate picture of…

Ito, Chiyuki; Feldman, Naomi H. – Cognitive Science, 2022
Iterated learning models of language evolution have typically been used to study the emergence of language, rather than historical language change. We use iterated learning models to investigate historical change in the accent classes of two Korean dialects. Simulations reveal that many of the patterns of historical change can be explained as…

Alaowffi, Nouf; Alharbi, Bader – Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 2021
Based on data from numerous languages, such as English, Frisian, and Danish, Merchant (2001) proposes the "preposition stranding generalization" (PSG), which states that only languages that allow preposition stranding under wh-movement also allow preposition stranding under sluicing. The availability of this generalization has been the…

El Mouhayar, Rabih – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2022
The purpose of this study is to investigate how triadic dialog promotes generalization of growing figural patterns during classroom talk in multilingual classrooms and crucial linguistic terms that the teacher and students draw on in their home language, as they engage in pattern generalization. Ten sessions in two classrooms in grade 7 were…

Drew J. McLaughlin – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Listeners use more than just acoustic information when processing speech. Social information, such as a speaker's race/ethnicity, can also affect listeners' understanding of the speech signal. In some cases, these social primes can facilitate perception, while in others they may inhibit perception. Indeed, a picture of an East Asian face has been…

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…

The Role of Talker Variability in Nonnative Phonetic Learning: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Zhang, Xiaojuan; Cheng, Bing; Zhang, Yang – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: High-variability phonetic training (HVPT) has been found to be effective on adult second language (L2) learning, but results are mixed in regards to the benefit of multiple talkers over single talker. This study provides a systematic review with meta-analysis to investigate the talker variability effect in nonnative phonetic learning and…

Thienthong, Atikhom – rEFLections, 2022
A growing body of research examines attitudes towards English varieties from an impressionistic perspective, but relatively few studies investigate attitudes towards specific standard and variant grammatical features. This study explores the language attitudes of Thai university students and teachers towards standard grammar and its variation in…

Hunter Nicholas McKenzie – ProQuest LLC, 2022
English ditransitive verbs show a complex alternation between the double object construction (DOC, (1)) and prepositional object datives (POD, (2)). This dissertation examines the acquisition, representation, and learnability of the dative alternation among L2 English learners, presenting experimental data from participants with L1 backgrounds of…

El Mouhayar, Rabih – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
The purpose of this study is to investigate how languages in a multilingual classroom come to participate in the objectification process in the context of pattern generalization. Data came from the transcription of 10 videotaped sessions in grade 7. A mixed quantitative-qualitative approach was adopted for the analysis. The significance of triadic…

Özbay, Ali Sükrü – Novitas-ROYAL (Research on Youth and Language), 2020
English contains a considerable number of lexical combinations with various forms and labels, making it an interesting field of inquiry for researchers. The significance and popularity of support verb constructions (SVC) is that they are used largely by native speakers and include some of the most common words in English but seem to be problematic…

Weatherhead, Drew; White, Katherine S. – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Within a language, there is considerable variation in the pronunciations of words owing to social factors like age, gender, nationality, and race. In the present study, we investigate whether toddlers link social and linguistic variation during word learning. In Experiment 1, 24- to 26-month-old toddlers were exposed to two talkers whose front…

Bondar, Vladimir – International Journal of English Studies, 2021
In the current study, data from A Corpus of English Dialogues (1560-1760) are used to consider contexts with the have-perfect and temporal adverbs of the definite past time such as yesterday, last night, ago. Data analysis is conducted within the framework of a usage-based approach, which gives evidence to the hypothesis that in Early Modern…
