Auditory and motion metaphors have different scalp distributions: an ERP study

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015
While many links have been established between sensory-motor words used literally (kick the ball) and sensory-motor regions of the brain, it is less clear whether metaphorically used words (kick the habit) also show such signs of embodiment. Additionally,

Receptive Meaning‐Recall Knowledge of Derivational Morphology Among EFL Learners: A Case for L1‐Population‐Specific Assessment

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Vocabulary knowledge plays a crucial role in L2 proficiency, significantly impacting learners' reading comprehension. Although extensive research has explored whether knowledge of base words extends to recognition of derivational forms, results are inconsistent, especially among learners from non‐Indo‐European linguistic backgrounds.

How Do They Feel? Processing Others’ Emotions in Second Language Discourse

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract Emotion that is implied rather than literally expressed requires the processing of literal and pragmatic information. Processing multiple information types is an easy, fast process in the first language (L1) but can be costlier in a second language (L2), especially when emotional content is involved.

Revisiting Text Readability and Processing Effort in Second Language Reading: Bayesian Analysis of Eye‐Tracking Data

Language Learning, Volume 76, Issue 2, Page 671-703, June 2026.
Abstract Studies have explored the relationship between text readability and processing effort in second language (L2) reading—as evidenced by eye movements. However, these studies generally relied on short texts, raising concerns about the validity of the analyzed data. This study reexamined these relationships using open‐source eye‐tracking data from

Raspberry, not a car: Context predictability and a phonological advantage in early and late learners’ processing of speech in noise

Frontiers in Psychology, 2014
Second language learners perform worse than native speakers under adverse listening conditions, such as speech in noise. No data are available on heritage language speakers’ (early naturalistic interrupted learners’) ability to perceive speech in noise ...

Developing L2 semantic knowledge of English modality through concept‐based language instruction: Do cognitive linguistics materials have an advantage?

The Modern Language Journal, Volume 110, Issue 2, Page 540-567, Summer 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the pedagogical impact of integrating cognitive linguistics (CL) into concept‐based language instruction (C‐BLI) for teaching English modal verbs. Eighty‐nine Mandarin‐speaking university learners were assigned to one of three instructional conditions: C‐BLI with CL‐based conceptualizations (C‐BLI‐CL), C‐BLI with non‐CL
