Peer reviewed

Rodríguez-Cuadrado, Sara; Ojedo, Fernando; Vicente-Conesa, Francisco; Romero-Rivas, Carlos; Sampedro, Miguel Ángel Carlos; Santiago, Julio – Second Language Research, 2023

Several studies have explored the use of iconic gestures to improve the learning of foreign vocabulary. In this quest, words for abstract concepts have been largely neglected, under the assumption that abstract concepts have poor or non-existent sensory-motor representations. Yet, the Conceptual Metaphor Theory suggests that they are grounded on…

Reference Tracking in Early Stages of Different Modality L2 Acquisition: Limited Over-Explicitness in Novice ASL Signers' Referring Expressions

Peer reviewed

Direct link

Frederiksen, Anne Therese; Mayberry, Rachel I. – Second Language Research, 2019

Previous research on reference tracking has revealed a tendency towards over-explicitness in second language (L2) learners. Only limited evidence exists that this trend extends to situations where the learner's first and second languages do not share a sensory-motor modality. Using a story-telling paradigm, this study examined how hearing novice…

Second Language Acquisition across Modalities: Production Variability in Adult L2 Learners of American Sign Language

Peer reviewed

Direct link

Hilger, Allison I.; Loucks, Torrey M. J.; Quinto-Pozos, David; Dye, Matthew W. G. – Second Language Research, 2015

A study was conducted to examine production variability in American Sign Language (ASL) in order to gain insight into the development of motor control in a language produced in another modality. Production variability was characterized through the spatiotemporal index (STI), which represents production stability in whole utterances and is a…
