Cortical Tracking of Speech Across Rhythm Classes in English‐, French‐, and Japanese‐Learning 4‐ and 8‐Month‐Old Infants

open access: yesDevelopmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT It has been proposed that the world's languages fall into three rhythmic classes according to the units that determine their rhythmic structure: stress‐based (e.g., English), syllable‐based (e.g., French), and mora‐based (e.g., Japanese). These rhythmic differences modulate language‐specific processing in adults and young infants.

Early Musical Predictions in the Brain as Indexed by the Mismatch Negativity—From Acoustic Deviants to Cognitive Musical Errors

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 64, Issue 5, September 2026.
Over the past two decades, ecologically valid music paradigms have shown that mismatch negativity (MMN) reflects a primitive musical intelligence, indexing hierarchical auditory predictions in music that parallel those observed in speech. MMN captures processing from early sensory detection in superior temporal cortices to higher order frontal ...

Head Gestures Do Not Serve as Precursors of Prosodic Focus Marking in the Second Language as They Do in the First Language

open access: yesLanguage Learning, Volume 76, Issue 3, Page 845-879, September 2026.
Abstract Research shows that children use head gestures to mark discourse focus before developing the required prosodic cues in their first language (L1), and their gestures affect the prosodic parameters of their speech. We investigated whether head gestures also act as precursors and bootstrappers of prosodic focus marking in second language (L2 ...
