Ishikawa, Masako; Suzuki, Wataru – Modern Language Journal, 2023
Languaging--that is, using language to mediate thinking, orally or in writing--facilitates second language (L2) learning.

Thus, this study investigated the extent…

Meilin Zhan; Sihan Chen; Roger Levy; Jiayi Lu; Edward Gibson – Cognitive Science, 2023
Previous work has shown that English native speakers interpret sentences as predicted by a noisy-channel model: They integrate both the real-world plausibility of the meaning--the prior--and the likelihood that the intended sentence may be corrupted into the perceived sentence. In this study, we test the noisy-channel model in Mandarin Chinese, a…
