Dynamic Entity Representations in Neural Language Models
, 2017 Understanding a long document requires tracking how entities are introduced and evolve over time. We present a new type of language model, EntityNLM, that can explicitly model entities, dynamically update their representations, and contextually generate ...

TESOL Quarterly, Volume 59, Issue 4, Page 2035-2060, December 2025.Abstract This study examined if gaze‐contingent textual enhancement could be used as an interactive focus‐on‐form device to promote learning of second language (L2) collocations from computer‐mediated reading tasks. Seventy‐five Chinese ESL users read three English texts that contained twelve target collocations, presented under one of three conditions:

Listening at different scales: Sociolinguistic perception and the listening subject
Journal of Linguistic Anthropology, Volume 35, Issue 3, December 2025.Abstract This commentary argues that sociophonetic perception studies and linguistic anthropological analyses of the listening subject examine the same underlying process—ideologically structured listening—though at different observational scales.

Aptitude complexes: Expanding our view of language aptitude
The Modern Language Journal, Volume 109, Issue 4, Page 775-799, Winter 2025.Abstract In second language (L2) research, aptitude is typically viewed as a multicomponential, cognitive construct. Yet we know that L2 learning is influenced by multiple learner individual differences (IDs) besides cognitive abilities and that these IDs interact.

Applied Cognitive Psychology, Volume 39, Issue 6, November/December 2025.ABSTRACT When searching for information online, learners often encounter contradictions. In two experiments, we compared the effect of reading two texts containing conflicting theories on the same phenomenon. Either no explanation for the conflict (unresolved‐conflict group) or an explanation for the conflict in the second text was provided either ...

Contribution of executive function to different levels of reading comprehension
Journal of Research in Reading, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 335-354, November 2025.Background Executive function (EF) is significantly associated with reading comprehension outcomes, yet the interaction between EF and critical language skills (including vocabulary, morphological awareness (MA) and syntactic knowledge), across these levels of reading comprehension (literal, inferential and evaluative comprehension) has rarely been ...

Emergent Predication Structure in Hidden State Vectors of Neural Readers
, 2017 A significant number of neural architectures for reading comprehension have recently been developed and evaluated on large cloze-style datasets. We present experiments supporting the emergence of "predication structure" in the hidden state vectors of ...
