Foreign cultural norms are better accepted in the second language
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1551, Issue 1, Page 257-269, September 2025.Using behavioral and brain potential measures, we tested Chinese–English bilinguals’ acceptance of statements. While participants processed culture‐nonspecific generic knowledge similarly in their L1 Chinese and L2 English, the violation effect elicited by British culture statements was abolished when they were read in L2 English.

In the Words of Others: ERP Evidence of Speaker‐Specific Phonological Prediction
Psychophysiology, Volume 62, Issue 9, September 2025.ABSTRACT Prediction models usually assume that highly constraining contexts allow the pre‐activation of phonological information. However, the evidence for phonological prediction is mixed and controversial. In this study, we implement a paradigm that capitalizes on the phonological errors produced by L2 speakers to investigate whether specific ...

Die Unterrichtspraxis/Teaching German, Volume 58, Issue 2, Page 266-276, Fall 2025.ABSTRACT Language should be inclusive. This implies that it should be accessible for as many people as possible. The concept of easy‐to‐read language (Leichte Sprache, LS) developed for this purpose and primarily for people with learning difficulties is beneficial for L2 learners of German as well.

Prediction using production or production engaging prediction? [PDF]
, 2014 Prominent theories of predictive language processing assume that language production processes are used to anticipate upcoming linguistic input during comprehension (Dell & Chang, 2014; Pickering & Garrod, 2013).

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and CognitionPrediction during language processing has been hypothesized to lead to processing benefits. These possible benefits have led to several prominent theories that center around prediction as an essential mechanism in language processing. Such theories typically assume predicting is better than not predicting at all, but do not always account for the ...

Teaching Machines to Read and Comprehend
, 2015 Teaching machines to read natural language documents remains an elusive challenge. Machine reading systems can be tested on their ability to answer questions posed on the contents of documents that they have seen, but until now large scale training and ...

When Meaning Matters Most: Rethinking Cloze Probability in N400 Research
AbstractThe N400 component of ERPs is modulated by how predictable a word is, but predictability is usually quantified withlexical cloze—the probability that readers supply that exact word in offline sentence completion tasks. This form-based metric is at odds with decades of evidence that the N400 is primarily sensitive tomeaning.

Neural Skill Transfer from Supervised Language Tasks to Reading Comprehension
, 2017 Reading comprehension is a challenging task in natural language processing and requires a set of skills to be solved. While current approaches focus on solving the task as a whole, in this paper, we propose to use a neural network `skill' transfer ...
