This article describes how the libraries at Lafayette College used digital scholarship methodologies to enhance student engagement and learning during the transition to remote learning due to the COVID-19 crisis. The article argues that digital scholarship tools and methods enhanced active learning during the shift to all-remote instruction by…

Several studies used artificial language (AL) learning paradigms to investigate structural priming between languages in early phases of learning. The presence of such priming would indicate that these languages share syntactic representations. Muylle et al. (2020a) found similar priming of transitives and ditransitives between Dutch (SVO order)…

A particular status of the English language as the language of international communication and connections between the nearly related English and German languages resulted in the emergence of many interlingual borrowings in the Modern English and German language vocabularies.
