Word Predictability as a Measure of Second Language Proficiency

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract This study introduces predictabilityBERT, a novel metric for assessing second language (L2) proficiency based on the predictability of word choices in learner language production. Using BERT (Devlin et al., 2019), we calculated the conditional probability of each word in a text given its surrounding context.

Differential Effects of Age, Linguistic Distance, Gender, and Education on English Proficiency: A Comparative Crosslinguistic Study of Immersion and Nonimmersion Learners

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract Do immersion and nonimmersion learners’ English grammaticality judgment test (GJT) scores reflect the same underlying processes in language learning? Drawing on data from Chen and Hartshorne's (2021) study, we argue that they do not. Using generalized additive mixed models (GAMMs), we found that age of onset was the strongest predictor of GJT ...

Multifaceted Role of Multilevel Statistical and Linguistic Information From Target Language in Predicting Second Language Verb–Preposition and Verb–Particle Construction Production

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explores how statistical properties of verb–preposition and verb–particle constructions (VPCs) and their interplay in the target language shape second language (L2) production across L2 proficiency levels. We compared phrasal frequency and three contingency measures—mutual information (MI), forward delta P (ΔP), and backward ΔP—of ...

The English Dialect Dictionary (henceforth EDD), published in 6 volumes between 1898 and 1905, can be considered today as the first scholarly compendium of English dialects (cf. Onysko, Markus and Heuberger 2009; Markus, Upton and Heuberger 2010).

Jacques Maritain, Maurice Blondel, and the Ends of Art

Modern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article reconsiders Jacques Maritain's philosophical poetics by situating it within his longstanding debate with Maurice Blondel over the nature and unity of intellect. I argue that Maritain's influential defence of artistic autonomy, first articulated in Art et scolastique (1920), is ultimately unsound.
