Al-Basri, Majid Abdulatif – Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 2021
The paper is an in-depth study of how the principles and rules of the metrical theory of phonology have found their way to apply to Iraqi Arabic words and expressions. Iraqi lexical items have amassed evidence illustrating that both foot and stress are the hub of phonological designs of parametric prominence entailed in mapping and building up…

Shalhoub-Awwad, Yasmin; Khamis-Jubran, Maram – Journal of Child Language, 2021
This study investigated the acquisition of word-patterns and roots in the nominal system of the spoken language of Palestinian Arabic (PA) and its distance from Standard Arabic (StA). It described, analyzed, and quantified the nominal system (roots and word-patterns) as reflected in the language corpus of Palestinian-Arab kindergarteners 3 to 6…

Graf Estes, Katharine; Antovich, Dylan M.; Verde, Erica L. – Journal of Child Language, 2021
This research investigates selectivity in word learning for bilingual infants. Previous work demonstrated that bilingual infants show greater openness to non-native language sounds in object labels than monolinguals (Hay et al., 2015; Singh, 2018). It remains unclear whether bilingual openness extends to nonspeech sounds. We presented 14- and…

Cassani, Giovanni; Bianchi, Federico; Marelli, Marco – Cognitive Science, 2021
In this study, we use temporally aligned word embeddings and a large diachronic corpus of English to quantify language change in a data-driven, scalable way, which is grounded in language use. We show a unique and reliable relation between measures of language change and age of acquisition ("AoA") while controlling for frequency,…

Pozzi, Rebecca; Bayley, Robert – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2021
Although recent research suggests that gains are made in the acquisition of dialectal features during study abroad, the few studies that have been conducted on this topic in Spanish-speaking contexts have focused primarily on features characteristic of Spain. This article examines the L2 acquisition of phonological features characteristic of…

The purpose of this study is to identify the perceptions of 30 Korean university students majoring in English on the use of the Korean Variety of English (KVE) as well as on a class activity that promotes its use. Designed within the framework of the English as an Intercultural Language (EIcL) paradigm (Green & Lee, 2018), which is supportive…

"Sign Language Studies" is introducing a new section titled "Reports on Ongoing Research." These short research briefs are intended to provide a format for researchers to report on projects for which research is ongoing but for which a timely research brief would be of interest to the "Sign Language Studies" (SLS)…

Ellen Dossey – ProQuest LLC, 2021
A listener's explicit knowledge of the links between phonetic variants and social categories can be referred to as their sociophonetic knowledge. The goal of this dissertation was to directly examine the degree to which sociophonetic knowledge influences listeners' ability to process and encode lexical tokens produced in different accents, with…

Surányi, Balázs; Pinter, Lilla – Journal of Child Language, 2022
This study investigates children's identification of prosodic focus in Hungarian, a language in which syntactic focus-marking is mandatory. Assuming that regular syntactic focus-marking diminishes the disambiguating role of prosodic marking in acquisition, we expected that in sentences in which focus is only disambiguated by prosody, adult-like…

Williams, Glenn P.; Panayotov, Nikolay; Kempe, Vera – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
Many bidialectal children grow up speaking a variety (e.g., a regional dialect) that differs from the variety in which they subsequently acquire literacy. Previous computational simulations and artificial literacy learning experiments with adults have demonstrated lower accuracy in reading "contrastive" words for which dialect variants…

Jamie Day – ProQuest LLC, 2022
In the United States, there exists a chronic shortage of qualified special education teachers to provide instructional services to students with disabilities. One policy solution developed to increase the number of qualified teachers is Alternative Routes (ARs), which are broadly defined as nontraditional and accelerated preparation paths to…

Nico Lehmann; Vahid Mortezapour; Jozina Vander Klok; Zahra Farokhnejad; David Müller; Elisabeth Verhoeven; Aria Adli – Language Documentation & Conservation, 2025
We present a new corpus design for multi-lingual corpora that involve intra-speaker variation in different situational-functional contexts, including primarily spoken but also the written mode, with the aim towards enhancing language documentation efforts and resources. We illustrate how this comparative design and the resulting cross-culturally…

Natalia V. Rakhlin; Nan Li; Abdullah Aljughaiman; Elena L. Grigorenko – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: We investigated the role of spoken language in the acquisition of literacy in the context of Arabic diglossia, where the written language, Standard Arabic, deviates substantially from the spoken language, Colloquial Arabic, children acquire naturally from birth. Method: The participants (N = 110; 40 girls) were Saudi Arabic--speaking…

The present study investigated six experienced English as a second language (ESL) teachers' metalinguistic knowledge of the English intonation system through analysis of their metalanguage. Participants' metalanguage related to intonation was collected while completing three tasks: (1) a semi-structured interview, (2) a simulated teaching…

Xinyue Lu; Yuseva Ariyani Iswandari; Zhenjie Weng; Francis John Troyan – TESOL Journal, 2025
Given the need to explore the nature of language teacher educator (LTE) identities, this duoethnography centers the identity journeys of three language teacher educators--Lu, Yuseva, and Zhenjie--as they evolved together and in dialogue with their advisor, Francis. To this end, they began with the central identity task, the Language Use…
