Input Variability in Foreign Language Verb–Argument Construction Learning: A Primary School Intervention

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract Input variability (i.e., varied experience with different grammar exemplars; “[talk/think/rant/wonder] about [god/bicycles/dogs]”) can improve generalization (i.e., “[Verb] about [Noun]”) and enhance learning.

Multifaceted Role of Multilevel Statistical and Linguistic Information From Target Language in Predicting Second Language Verb–Preposition and Verb–Particle Construction Production

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explores how statistical properties of verb–preposition and verb–particle constructions (VPCs) and their interplay in the target language shape second language (L2) production across L2 proficiency levels. We compared phrasal frequency and three contingency measures—mutual information (MI), forward delta P (ΔP), and backward ΔP—of ...

Dimensions of Lexical Mastery and Their Relationships with Listening and Reading Proficiency Among Beginner‐to‐Low‐Intermediate Learners of French

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract The extent to which lexical mastery consists of interrelated types of lexical knowledge has been widely discussed. Yet, few studies have explored whether the lexical dimensions of knowledge and processing are relatively independent or investigated how these two dimensions contribute to listening and reading among beginner‐to‐low‐intermediate ...

Lag Effects in L2 Phonetic Training: Longer Intersession Intervals Compensate for Auditory Individual Differences

The Modern Language Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In cognitive psychology, longer intersession intervals are thought to enhance long‐term retention (i.e., lag effects). Recently, scholars have begun to test the generalizability of the lag effect to L2 vocabulary and grammar acquisition. Following their step, the present study not only replicated the lag effect but also provided a more fine ...

I argue against this claim, explain why it matters to the nature of promising, and sketch an alternative picture of normatively powerful speech acts.
