Cross-Linguistic Variation in the Processing of Aspect
2014The present study investigates the cross-linguistic processing of aspect in English and German. Three self-paced reading experiments provide evidence that coercion of a (simple) past accomplishment into an activity reading causes processing difficulty in English (Experiment 1), but not in German (Experiments 2 and 3). We attribute this cross-linguistic

Brain and Language, 2011
This paper demonstrates systematic cross-linguistic differences in the electrophysiological correlates of conflicts between form and meaning ("semantic reversal anomalies"). These engender P600 effects in English and Dutch (e.g. Kolk et al., 2003; Kuperberg et al., 2003), but a biphasic N400 - late positivity pattern in German (Schlesewsky and ...

To investigate how bilingual speakers modulate their voice quality and pitch in their two languages, this study examines voice variation in Korean-English bilingual speakers. We recorded 30 Korean-English bilinguals (F = 15, all more dominant in Korean) reading “The North Wind and the ...

Modeling the cross-linguistic variations of tonal systems
Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2016This study aims to simulate the cross-linguistic variations of tonal systems with low dimensional models. Individual syllables of Mandarin, Yoruba, southern Yi, and Hmong were retrieved from existing speech corpora. Voice quality measures as well as f0 were extracted for all data.

Cross-linguistic influence in the acquisition of L3 variation
2022Abstract This chapter addresses stylistic and obligatory variation in third language (L3) argument realization patterns. It focuses on the effects of formal second language (L2) learning experience, typological proximity, and five linguistic factors (discourse type, clause type, verb ...
