Journal of Neuropsychology, EarlyView.Abstract People with Parkinson disease (PD) after surgery for deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN‐DBS) often decline in animal fluency due to impairments in executive functions and/or language. Item‐based measures of animal fluency may shed light on the specific nature of this decline, and into the strategies used when ...

How Flexible Are Grammars Past Puberty? The Case of Relative Clauses in Turkish‐American Returnees
Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract How flexible are grammars after puberty? To answer this, we test returnees: heritage speakers (HS) born in an immigration context who returned to their homeland in later years. If returnees are targetlike, then language is still malleable after puberty; in contrast, if maturational effects are in play, postpuberty returnees will show ...

Tools for dialect syntax: the case of CORDIAL-SIN (an annotated corpus of Portuguese dialects)
Anuario del Seminario de Filología Vasca "Julio de Urquijo", 2010 This paper addresses methodological issues of concern to the study of morphosyntactic variation. While the empirical basis of dialect syntax is still a matter of elaboration, the focus will be here on the role of dialect corpora as tools for the study of

Language Learning, EarlyView.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 ...

Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract This replication study examines feedback timing in vocational language learners and verifies the hypothesis that the advantage of immediate over delayed feedback found in the original study (Li, Zhu, & Ellis, 2016) is due to practice opportunities in immediate feedback.

Register variation and linguistic background modulate accuracy in detecting morphosyntactic errors
IsoglossLinguistic register is defined as a variety of language shaped by different situational settings. Adapting to register is crucial for successful communication and involves the processing of language features related to register variation.

Methodological triangulation in the study of acquisition of morphosyntactic variation
Language Learning and Development, 2023 The well-known sampling limitation of most longitudinal corpus data can be even more consequential in the study of morphosyntactic variation in child language. An analysis of caregiver input suggests that variable use in overlapping contexts may be hard to find by solely relying on corpus data collected under the sampling procedures that are typical in

Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract Parallel tracking of distant relations between speech elements, so‐called nonadjacent dependencies (NADs), is crucial in language development but computationally demanding and acquired only in late preschool years. As processing of single NADs is facilitated when dependent elements are perceptually similar, we investigated how phonetic ...

On grammatical relations as constraints on referent identification [PDF]
, 2010 Based on a Relevance Theory-informed view of language development, this paper argues that grammatical relations are construction-specific conventionalizations (grammaticalizations) of implicatures which arise out of repeated patterns of reference to ...
