Inherent Circularity in Laryngeal Realism? Three Levels of Explanation of the Pre-sonorant Sandhi Patterns in Polish (Part 2)

open access: yesStudies in Polish Linguistics
In the first part of the article, two approaches to laryngeal phonology – the realist and the relativist – were introduced and compared with regard to their treatment of the sandhi patterns in two ...

How Awareness of Orthographic Transparency Benefits the Lexical Encoding of Second Language Vowels

open access: yesLanguage Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract We investigated the influence of orthographic transparency, and learners’ awareness of it, on the second language (L2) phonolexical encoding of Brazilian Portuguese (BP) mid‐vowel contrasts. In BP, accent marks indicate vowel quality (mid‐closed vs.

Differential Effects of Age, Linguistic Distance, Gender, and Education on English Proficiency: A Comparative Crosslinguistic Study of Immersion and Nonimmersion Learners

open access: yesLanguage Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract Do immersion and nonimmersion learners’ English grammaticality judgment test (GJT) scores reflect the same underlying processes in language learning? Drawing on data from Chen and Hartshorne's (2021) study, we argue that they do not. Using generalized additive mixed models (GAMMs), we found that age of onset was the strongest predictor of GJT ...

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

open access: yesLanguage 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. Controlled experiments show that input variability benefits children's generalization and extension of linguistic information from ...

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

open access: yesLanguage 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 ...

Diving Into High‐Variability Phonetic Training: Stimuli Type and Learners’ Auditory Selective Attention in Second Language Vowel Training

open access: yesLanguage Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigated the phonetic training performance of 80 first language (L1) Catalan/Spanish advanced second language (L2) English learners in a four‐session high‐variability phonetic training (HVPT) program and how their training progress interacted with stimuli type (nonwords vs. words) and individual differences in auditory selective
