Statistical Learning and Bilingualism
Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2018Purpose Over the last 2 decades, research on statistical learning has demonstrated its importance in supporting language development. Notably, most of the research to date has focused on monolingual populations (or has not reported the language background of participants). Several recent studies, however, have begun to focus on

Selectivity in bilingual nonspeech label learning
Journal of Child Language, 2020AbstractThis research investigates selectivity in word learning for bilingual infants. Previous work demonstrated that bilingual infants show greater openness to non-native language sounds in object labels than monolinguals (Hay et al., 2015; Singh, 2018). It remains unclear whether bilingual openness extends to nonspeech sounds.

Bilingualism, Intelligence and Language Learning
The Modern Language Journal, 1965language, regardless of the circumstances, is going to have a difficult time of it. There is simply too much evidence that interference and negative transfer are inevitable for the bilingual to a far greater extent than for the monolingual. In addition, of course, there is the obvious point that the bilingual has more to learn, phonemically ...

Learning bilingual semantic frames
2014We present our studies on the task of automatically learning bilingual semantic frames from a Chinese and English parallel corpus in this thesis. Bilingual semantic frames, the mappings of core semantic arguments (roles) for a predicate pair in a bi-sentence, have the potential to improve the translation quality of the Statistical Machine Translation ...
