Learning via Processing: Structural Priming Across Grammatical Structures and Languages in Early Second Language Development

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract We employed structural priming to test whether targeted exposure to unambiguous form–meaning mappings led to learning of noncanonical word orders, specifically in object relative clauses, among 165 low‐to‐intermediate‐level L1 German L2 learners of English.

Native and Nonnative Speakers’ Preferences for Preposition Pied‐Piping Versus Stranding in English Wh‐Relative Clauses

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract The current study investigated from a usage‐based perspective how phrasal frequency and collocational strength of verb–preposition collocations influence preposition placement in wh‐relative clauses. Native English speakers and Chinese learners of English as a second language of the intermediate and advanced English proficiencies completed a ...

Contrasting Fixed‐ and Mixed‐Effects Modeling in Vocabulary Research: Reanalyzing Laufer (2024) and McLean et al. (2020)

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract Analyses in vocabulary research should avoid the language‐as‐a‐fixed‐effect fallacy, whereby no statistical evidence is provided to support claimed generalizations beyond the words tested in the sample. Although mixed‐effects models are widely adopted in social sciences to avoid this fallacy, second language vocabulary researchers primarily ...

Effects of Lexical Frequency in Predictive Processing: Higher Frequency Boosts First Language Speed and Facilitates Second Language Prediction

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explores how word frequency affects verb‐mediated prediction in L1 and L2 speakers, using a visual‐world eye‐tracking task. By manipulating frequency of nouns within subjects (higher; lower) and type of verbs used as predictive cues (semantically restrictive; neutral) in sentences (e.g., The {doctor/surgeon} {opened/moved} the box),

Ameliorative projects, psychological essentialism, and the power of nouns

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
Ameliorative projects design and propagate new linguistic content for some expressions we use for political or social justice purposes. These projects are often driven by an anti‐essentialist agenda: they aim to debunk the idea that social categories such as “woman”, “man”, or “race” are constituted by natural essences.
