How Flexible Are Grammars Past Puberty? The Case of Relative Clauses in Turkish‐American Returnees

Hedgehog Pillows and Squirrel Plates: Priming Semantic Structure in Children's Comprehension

open access: yesLanguage Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract We report three expression–picture‐matching experiments targeting preschoolers’ semantic processing. We assessed whether 3‐ and 4‐year‐olds’ interpretations of ambiguous novel noun–noun combinations (e.g., hedgehog pillow) were affected by immediate language experience and what role lexical items played in this process.
