Caroline F. Rowland; Amy Bidgood; Gary Jones; Andrew Jessop; Paula Stinson; Julian M. Pine; Samantha Durrant; Michelle S. Peter – Language Learning, 2025
A strong predictor of children's language is performance on non-word repetition (NWR) tasks. However, the basis of this relationship remains unknown. Some suggest that NWR tasks measure phonological working memory, which then affects language growth. Others argue that children's knowledge of language/language experience affects NWR performance. A…

Kopecková, Romana; Gut, Ulrike; Wrembel, Magdalena; Balas, Anna – Second Language Research, 2023
This study investigates sources of phonological cross-linguistic influence (CLI) at the initial stages of third language (L3) acquisition in light of the predictions of the second language (L2) Status Factor Model, the Typological Primacy Model, the Cumulative Enhancement Model, the Linguistic Proximity Model and the Scalpel Model. The productions…

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…

Annie Grey Helms – ProQuest LLC, 2023
This dissertation analyzes the production and perception of lexical stress in trilinguals' first, second, and third languages (L1, L2, and L3) to evaluate how the cue-weighting transfer hypothesis applies to L3 acquisition. According to this hypothesis, acoustic cues to stress have different weights across languages, and results from both…

Ishkhanyan, Byurakn; Boye, Kasper; Mogensen, Jesper – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2019
The interaction between working memory and language processing is widely discussed in cognitive research. However, those studies often explore the relationship between language comprehension and working memory (WM). The role of WM is rarely considered in language production, despite some evidence suggesting a relationship between the two cognitive…

Yang, Yuxiao; Chen, Xiaoxiang; Xiao, Qi – Second Language Research, 2022
This study investigated the role of cross-linguistic similarity in the acquisition of Russian initial stop contrasts by Chinese learners, addressing two specific research questions: (1) How similar are Russian voiced stops to Mandarin stops for Chinese learners?; and (2) How can the speech learning model (SLM) be applied to account for the…

Chan, Jessica S.; Wade-Woolley, Lesly – Journal of Research in Reading, 2018
Background: This study was designed to extend our understanding of phonology and reading to include suprasegmental awareness using measures of prosodic awareness, which are complex tasks that tap into the rhythmic aspects of phonology. By requiring participants to access, reflect on and manipulate word stress, the prosodic awareness measures used…

Ambridge, Ben – First Language, 2020
The goal of this article is to make the case for a radical exemplar account of child language acquisition, under which unwitnessed forms are produced and comprehended by on-the-fly analogy across multiple stored exemplars, weighted by their degree of similarity to the target with regard to the task at hand. Across the domains of (1) word meanings,…

Marecka, Marta; McDonald, Alison; Madden, Gillian; Fosker, Tim – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2022
Research suggests that second language words are learned faster when they are similar in phonological structure or accent to the words of an individual's first language. Many major theories suggest this happens because of differences in frequency of exposure and context between first and second language words. Here, we examine the independent…

Gray, Shelley; Lancaster, Hope; Alt, Mary; Hogan, Tiffany P.; Green, Samuel; Levy, Roy; Cowan, Nelson – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: We investigated four theoretically based latent variable models of word learning in young school-age children. Method: One hundred sixty-seven English-speaking second graders with typical development from three U.S. states participated. They completed five different tasks designed to assess children's creation, storage, retrieval, and…

Acha, Joana; Agirregoikoa, Ainhize; Barreto, Florencia B.; Arranz, Enrique – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2021
The role of working memory (WM) in language acquisition has been widely reported in the developmental literature, but few studies have explored the role of sentence recall in the way WM and related linguistic abilities evolve. This study seeks to explore the organization and development of the memory architecture underlying language using a…

Ribeiro, Daniela Marinho – ProQuest LLC, 2021
A great deal of the research on cross-linguistic phonetic influence demonstrates that a speaker's knowledge of their first language (L1) significantly affects their ability to perceive and produce sounds in any other language. While current studies show that cross-linguistic transfer occurs at the L3 level, some research suggests that properties…

Loaiza, Vanessa M.; Camos, Valérie – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
Two main mechanisms, articulatory rehearsal and attentional refreshing, are argued to be involved in the maintenance of verbal information in working memory (WM). Whereas converging research has suggested that rehearsal promotes the phonological representations of memoranda in working memory, little is known about the representations that…

Kennison, Shelia M.; Fernandez, Elaine C.; Bowers, J. Michael – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2014
The research investigated the roles of semantic and phonological processing in word production. Spanish-English bilingual individuals produced English target words when cued with definitions that were also written in English. When the correct word was not produced, a secondary task was performed in which participants rated the ease of…

Zhou, Lin; Peng, Gang; Zheng, Hong-Ying; Su, I-Fan; Wang, William S.-Y. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2013
Most sinograms (i.e., Chinese characters) are phonograms (phonetic compounds). A phonogram is composed of a semantic radical and a phonetic radical, with the former usually implying the meaning of the phonogram, and the latter providing cues to its pronunciation. This study focused on the sub-lexical processing of semantic radicals which are…
