New Insights Into Lakota Syntax: The Encoding of Arguments and the Number of Verbal Affixes
Studia Linguistica, Volume 80, Issue 1, April 2026.ABSTRACT This paper examines the morphosyntax of transitive constructions in Lakota, with particular emphasis being placed on the encoding of arguments. The analysis of argument marking through verbal affixes in Lakota transitive constructions raises two main questions: the existence or non‐existence of the zero marker for the third person singular and

Lability in Hittite and Indo‐European: A Diachronic Perspective
Studia Linguistica, Volume 80, Issue 1, April 2026.ABSTRACT Lability is defined as the possibility of a verb to enter a valency alternation without undergoing any change in its form. Labile verbs were common in ancient Indo‐European languages, including Hittite, which mostly features anticausative lability, with reflexive and reciprocal lability being less prominent.

Language Learning, Volume 76, Issue 1, Page 67-102, March 2026.Abstract This study investigates how distributional cues are integrated into the mental representation of the as‐predicative construction by English native and nonnative speakers, drawing on associative learning theory. We examined speakers’ constructional retrieval when given a verbal cue (Experiment 1) and their verb retrieval when given a ...

Cognitive Science, Volume 50, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Languages describe “who is doing what to whom” by distinguishing the event roles of agent (doer) and patient (undergoer), but it is debated whether they result from nonlinguistic representations that may already exist in preverbal infants and nonhuman animals. The phenomenon of causal perception, where the subsequent movements of two objects A

Evidence of Animacy Effects in Novel Word Learning via Fast Mapping and Explicit Encoding in Adults
Journal of Indian Speech Language & Hearing Association, 2020 Introduction Animacy effects refer to the processing advantage of animate concepts over inanimate concepts, and this effect has been studied using episodic memory tasks. However, animacy effects in the context of novel word learning, specifically through
