The system of the Georgian verb is unique in that it is based on…

Youngon Choi; Minji Nam; Naoto Yamane; Reiko Mazuka – Developmental Science, 2024
Perceptual narrowing of speech perception supposes that young infants can discriminate most speech sounds early in life.

Block, David; Corona, Victor – Language Policy, 2022
Language policy and planning (LPP) has always drawn on research and scholarship in education as well as the social sciences in general (in particular sociology). Social theory has also figured as an important source of ideas and concepts, and critical LPP has arisen as a distinct strand of inquiry since the 1980s (Tollefson, in Planning language,…

Holland Banse; Maria Hernandez-Reif; April Kendrick – Journal of Language, Identity, and Education, 2024
Dual language learners (DLLs) are a growing student population in the United States, especially in early childhood.

Given…
