How Awareness of Orthographic Transparency Benefits the Lexical Encoding of Second Language Vowels
Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract We investigated the influence of orthographic transparency, and learners’ awareness of it, on the second language (L2) phonolexical encoding of Brazilian Portuguese (BP) mid‐vowel contrasts. In BP, accent marks indicate vowel quality (mid‐closed vs.

The Modern Language Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In cognitive psychology, longer intersession intervals are thought to enhance long‐term retention (i.e., lag effects). Recently, scholars have begun to test the generalizability of the lag effect to L2 vocabulary and grammar acquisition. Following their step, the present study not only replicated the lag effect but also provided a more fine ...
