Learning via Processing: Structural Priming Across Grammatical Structures and Languages in Early Second Language Development

open access: yesLanguage Learning, Volume 76, Issue 1, Page 176-210, March 2026.

Effects of Lexical Frequency in Predictive Processing: Higher Frequency Boosts First Language Speed and Facilitates Second Language Prediction

open access: yesLanguage Learning, Volume 76, Issue 1, Page 249-279, March 2026.
Abstract This study explores how word frequency affects verb‐mediated prediction in L1 and L2 speakers, using a visual‐world eye‐tracking task. By manipulating frequency of nouns within subjects (higher; lower) and type of verbs used as predictive cues (semantically restrictive; neutral) in sentences (e.g., The {doctor/surgeon} {opened/moved} the box),

Abstract Speech communities have the tendency to develop habits as to which words tend to co‐occur, in the form of coinages and collocational patterns, thus constituting an aspect conducive to the subtle emergence of language variation. As these co‐occurrence tendencies become lexicalised and confined to specific, rigid word combinations, new ...
