Jingwen Wang; Jinmian Yang; Chris Biemann; Xingshan Li – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
The integration of semantic information of compound words with context is a crucial aspect of reading comprehension. In two eye-tracking experiments, we used two-character and four-character Chinese lexicalized and novel compound words to investigate how Chinese readers integrate semantic information of compound words with contexts in the present…

Language is the basis of human communication and is the most important key to complete mental development and thinking. Therefore, children must learn to communicate using appropriate language. For this to happen, the development of language in the child must be understood as a biological process, complete with internal laws and with marked stages…

While morphology constitutes a crucial component of the human language system, the neural bases of morphological processing in the human brain remains to be elucidated. The current study aims at exploring the extent to which the second language (L2) morphological processing would resemble or differ from that of their first language (L1) in adult…

Background: Word-to-text integration (WTI) can be challenging for second-language (L2) learners, although it can positively contribute to reading comprehension. The present study examined the role of WTI, after controlling for decoding, vocabulary and morphosyntactic awareness, in predicting English as an L2 reading comprehension development in…

Ruthie E. Knight; Michaela J. Ritter; Diane F. Loeb – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2025
The purpose of this narrative review was to examine the linguistic and classroom strategies used by young adults with dyslexia. Studies investigating evidence about university students' use of strategies were compiled from four databases, including Academic Search Complete, APA PyscINFO, Education Research Complete, and Medline. Among the 117…

Creemers, Ava; Embick, David – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
The question of whether lexical decomposition is driven by semantic transparency in the lexical processing of morphologically complex words, such as compounds, remains controversial. Prior research on compound processing has predominantly examined visual processing. Focusing instead on spoken word word recognition, the present study examined the…

Péter Rácz; Ágnes Lukács – Cognitive Science, 2024
People learn language variation through exposure to linguistic interactions. The way we take part in these interactions is shaped by our lexical representations, the mechanisms of language processing, and the social context. Existing work has looked at how we learn and store variation in the ambient language. How this is mediated by the social…

Law, Jeremy M.; Ghesquière, Pol – Reading Research Quarterly, 2022
This study examined the processing of derivational morphology and its association with early phonological skills of 24 Dutch-speaking children with dyslexia and 46 controls matched for age. A masked priming experiment was conducted where the semantic overlap between morphologically related pairs was manipulated as part of a lexical decision task.…

Patience Stevens; David C. Plaut – Grantee Submission, 2022
The morphological structure of complex words impacts how they are processed during visual word recognition. This impact varies over the course of reading acquisition and for different languages and writing systems. Many theories of morphological processing rely on a decomposition mechanism, in which words are decomposed into explicit…

Fleischhauer, Elisabeth; Bruns, Gunnar; Grosche, Michael – Journal of Research in Reading, 2021
Background: When reading a word, skilled adult readers automatically decompose the word into its separate morphemes by processing the word's morpho-orthography. In children, however, it still remains unclear when and how they start to automatically decompose words into morphemes. Methods: To better understand how primary school children learn and…

Polišenská, Kamila; Chiat, Shula; Szewczyk, Jakub; Twomey, Katherine E. – Journal of Child Language, 2021
Theories of language processing differ with respect to the role of abstract syntax and semantics vs surface-level lexical co-occurrence (n-gram) frequency. The contribution of each of these factors has been demonstrated in previous studies of children and adults, but none have investigated them jointly. This study evaluated the role of all three…

Mengliyev, Bakhtiyor; Shahabitdinova, Shohida; Khamroeva, Shahlo; Gulyamova, Shakhnoza; Botirova, Adiba – Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 2021
This article is dedicated to the issue of morphological analysis and synthesis of word forms in a linguistic analyzer, which is a significant feature of corpus linguistics. The article discourses in detail the morphological analysis, the creation of artificial language, grammar and analyzer, the general scheme of the analysis program that…

Behrens, Heike – Journal of Child Language, 2021
Constructivist approaches to language acquisition predict that form-function mappings are derived from distributional patterns in the input, and their contextual embedding. This requires a detailed analysis of the input, and the integration of information from different contingencies. Regarding the acquisition of morphology, it is shown which…

Forsythe, Hannah; Schmitt, Cristina – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2021
Many languages encode phi-features via overt morphology, yet children's use of this morphology in comprehension tasks varies widely. Here, we use a picture-selection task to test comprehension of Spanish verbal agreement and clitics, comparing performance across and within each paradigm to examine the effect of two factors: (i) phonological…

Divjak, Dagmar; Milin, Petar; Medimorec, Srdan; Borowski, Maciej – Cognitive Science, 2022
Although there is a broad consensus that both the procedural and declarative memory systems play a crucial role in language learning, use, and knowledge, the mapping between linguistic types and memory structures remains underspecified: by default, a dual-route mapping of language systems to memory systems is assumed, with declarative memory…
