Uygun, Serkan; Schwarz, Lara; Clahsen, Harald – Second Language Research, 2023
Heritage speakers (HS) have been shown to experience difficulties with inflectional morphology (particularly with irregular morphology) and to frequently overapply regular morphology. The present study seeks to get further insight into the inflectional processes of HS by investigating how these are generalized to nonce words in language…

Horvath, Sabrina; Kueser, Justin B.; Kelly, Jaelyn; Borovsky, Arielle – Language Learning and Development, 2022
While semantic and syntactic properties of verb meaning can impact the success of verb learning at a single age, developmental changes in how these factors influence acquisition are largely unexplored. We ask whether the impact of syntactic and semantic properties on verb vocabulary development varies with age and language ability for toddlers…

Taieb, Almontassar Bellah; Toumi, Naouel – Arab Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2021
Multi-word combinations are crucial for the production of various discourse types as well as for the construction of a credible and persuasive academic persona. This study investigates the frequency, structure, and function of the most frequently occurring 4-lexical bundles in writings from the field of linguistics. Following Biber et al.'s (1999)…

Charlotte Moore – ProQuest LLC, 2021
When learning a language, typically-developing infants face the daunting task of learning both the sounds and the meanings of words. In this dissertation, we focus on a source of variability that complicates the one-to-one relationship between words and their meanings: wordform variability. In Chapter 1 we make a distinction between the micro…

Vandeweerd, Nathan; Housen, Alex; Paquot, Magali – Language Testing, 2023
This study investigates whether re-thinking the separation of lexis and grammar in language testing could lead to more valid inferences about proficiency across modes. As argued by Römer, typical scoring rubrics ignore important information about proficiency encoded at the lexis-grammar interface, in particular how the co-selection of lexical and…

Girgin, Ufuk; Dinçer, Zeynep Ölçü – Journal on English Language Teaching, 2022
One of the inspirational forms of integrating technology into Second Language (L2) teaching is using 'corpora'. In this study, corpora were used to develop printed instructional materials to teach grammatical cohesive devices that are not sufficiently represented in L2 English course books. Specifically, the aim was to understand whether the…
