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

open access: yesLanguage 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

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

open access: yesThe 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

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Scope as a Source for Non‐Incremental Effects?

open access: yesLanguage and Linguistics Compass, Volume 20, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Incrementality is one of the hallmarks of realtime language comprehension. It contrasts sharply with another feature of language comprehension, the high degree of context dependence exhibited by many expressions calling for global adaptations to the larger discourse context.

The role of left and right hemispheres in the comprehension of idiomatic language: an electrical neuroimaging study

open access: yesBMC Neuroscience, 2009
Background The specific role of the two cerebral hemispheres in processing idiomatic language is highly debated. While some studies show the involvement of the left inferior frontal gyrus (LIFG), other data support the crucial role of right-hemispheric ...

Modulation of Predictive Coding in Auditory Paradigms of Varying Complexity in Children With Developmental Language Disorder

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 63, Issue 8, April 2026.
Event‐related potentials elicited in children with specific language impairment (SLI) and typically developing (controls), averaged across the F3, F4, Fz, C3, C4, and Cz electrodes. The upper panel displays the comparison between first‐ and second‐order complexity paradigms, averaging standard and deviant trials, with the baseline established previous ...
