Cumulative Testing for Learning Spoken Vocabulary
TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Cumulative testing is known to improve vocabulary learning by integrating both new and previously introduced words in weekly quizzes. While evidence for its benefits is promising, prior research has primarily focused on the written mode of vocabulary, with target words studied, practiced, and tested in the visual mode only.

Loanwords and Linguistic Phylogenetics: *pelek̑u‐ ‘axe’ and *(H)a(i̯)g̑‐ ‘goat’1
Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 123, Issue 1, Page 116-136, March 2025.Abstract This paper assesses the role of borrowings in two different approaches to linguistic phylogenetics: Traditional qualitative analyses of lexemes, and quantitative computational analysis of cognacy. It problematises the assumption that loanwords can be excluded altogether from datasets of lexical cognacy.

Cognitive Phonetics: The Transduction of Distinctive Features at the Phonology-Phonetics Interface
Biolinguistics, 2018 We propose that the interface between phonology and phonetics is mediated by a transduction process that converts elementary units of phonological computation, features, into temporally coordinated neuromuscular patterns, called ‘True Phonetic ...

Romance Loans in Middle Dutch and Middle English: Retained or Lost? A Matter of Metre1
Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.Abstract Romance words have been borrowed into all medieval West‐Germanic languages. Modern cognates show that the metrical patterns of loans can differ although the Germanic words remain constant: loan words Dutch kolónie, English cólony, German Koloníe compared with Germanic words Dutch wéduwe, English wídow, German Wítwe.

Languages, 2020 Although linguistic research has often focused on one domain (e.g., as influenced by generative prioritization of the Autonomy of Syntax), critical findings have been uncovered by exploring the interaction of multiple domains (e.g., the link between ...

Relative Constructions in Classical/Epic Sanskrit
Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.Abstract While it is widely recognised that Sanskrit shows two major types of relative construction – one relative–correlative, the other similar to postnominal relative clauses in languages like English – it has not been established what the crucial syntactic distinctions are between these types, given the wide range of syntactic variation found in ...

The Syntactic Status of Subject Clitics: A Problem from Venetan SE‐Constructions
Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.Abstract This article reopens the discussion on the syntax of subject clitics (SCLs) in Venetan dialects by providing a problematic piece of data and outlining its theoretical consequences. New evidence from se‐constructions in Alto Polesine Venetan (APV) shows that SCLs resist a unitary categorisation even within the same dialect group: in varieties ...

Generative phonology and phonological identification
Journal of Phonetics, 1978 Abstract It is shown that generative phonology in its present form cannot predict phonological identifications, thus preventing it from achieving descriptive adequacy, and limiting its usefulness in the study of speech perception. It is concluded that the main assumption of generative phonology—that the unity of the morpheme must be expressed ...
