Visual word recognition of Chinese–Japanese bilinguals: limited role of phonology

Frontiers in Psychology
IntroductionThe investigation of how orthography and phonology influence lexical semantic access in visual word identification is a crucial area in psycholinguistics. Previous studies, focusing on alphabetic scripts in bilingual lexical recognition, have

Learner Engagement in L2 Vocabulary Learning through Communicative Tasks: Comparing Learner‐ and Teacher‐Generated Content

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examined how task design, task motivation, and learner engagement influenced L2 vocabulary learning by comparing learner‐generated content (LGC) and teacher‐generated content (TGC) in a classroom setting. One hundred sixty‐three Japanese high school students from five intact classes were assigned to LGC, TGC, or a test‐only control ...

Ideas Buenas o Buenas Ideas: Phonological, Semantic, and Frequency Effects on Variable Adjective Ordering in Rioplatense Spanish

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 ...

Learning new words through reading: do robust spelling–sound mappings boost learning of word forms and meanings?

Royal Society Open Science, 2022
High-quality lexical representations depend on robust representations of written form (orthography), spoken form (phonology) and meaning (semantics), and strong bonds between them.

Receptive Meaning‐Recall Knowledge of Derivational Morphology Among EFL Learners: A Case for L1‐Population‐Specific Assessment

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Vocabulary knowledge plays a crucial role in L2 proficiency, significantly impacting learners' reading comprehension. Although extensive research has explored whether knowledge of base words extends to recognition of derivational forms, results are inconsistent, especially among learners from non‐Indo‐European linguistic backgrounds.

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.
