Lomotey, Charlotte Fofo – Journal of English as an International Language, 2018
Lexical stress is recognized in the literature as an important feature in English interactions. For instance, Hahn (2004) and Field (2005) argue that misplaced stress may lead to comprehensibility and ultimately, communication problems.

Grammar competition has been proposed as a model for second language (L2) acquisition. Variational Learning provides a framework within which to investigate the idea of grammar competition as the model requires a marriage of quantitative properties of the input with Universal Grammar.

Such a phenomenon has encouraged English learners of diverse lingua-cultural…

The ability to spell, also, enhances decoding as spelling and decoding are reciprocal skills that rely on knowledge of the same subskills. Spelling can also be particularly difficult for students with literacy and phonological-processing difficulties such…

McInerney, Erin – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2023
The many permutations of spoken English have called for an interrogation into the notions of 'standard English' and 'native accents'.
