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 ...

Children's Foreign Word Recognition at First Exposure: The Role of Phonological Similarity and Utterance Position

Effective When Distinctive: The Role of Phonetic Similarity in Nested Dependency Learning Across Preschool Years

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 ...

Seeing the Speaker's Face Enhances Second Language Shadowing: Neural and Behavioral Evidence

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract This functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study investigated how facial cues influence second language (L2) shadowing among 42 Japanese learners of English. Participants completed four conditions that varied by task type (listening vs. shadowing) and visual input (face vs. mosaic).

Language comprehension and the rhythm of perception

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
It is widely agreed that language understanding has a distinctive phenomenology, as illustrated by phenomenal contrast cases. Yet it remains unclear how to account for the perceptual phenomenology of language experience. I advance a rhythmic account, which explains this phenomenology in terms of changes in the rhythm of sensory capacities in both ...

A nuclear families word list for French

The Modern Language Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This between‐languages replication study relates the development and testing of a nuclear, families‐based, pedagogical word list for French as was previously done for English. A word family includes base and inflected words (or lemmas) plus derivations.

The effect of multimodal input on L2 learners' reading comprehension: A preregistered eye‐tracking study

The Modern Language Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Multimodal materials (e.g., written text supplemented by images and/or audio) are commonplace in language classrooms. While they have been consistently shown to be beneficial for vocabulary acquisition, the efficacy of multimodal input in scaffolding text comprehension is less clear. Conflicting findings have also been reported in terms of the
