Words and Scents: How Language Shapes and Skews Olfactory Processing
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Research on language and olfaction presents a paradox. Language appears to support the formation of odor categories, yet it can also hinder odor recognition through verbal interference, highlighting that different olfactory processes get affected in distinct ways.

Novel stress phonotactics are learnable by English speakers: Novel tone phonotactics are not [PDF]
Memory & Cognition, 2019 AbstractSpeech errors are sensitive to newly learned phonotactic constraints. For example, if speakers produce strings of syllables in which /f/ is an onset if the vowel is /æ/, but a coda if the vowel is /I/, their slips will respect that constraint after a period of sleep.

Inights on NIRS sensitivity from a cross-linguistic study on the emergence of phonological grammar
Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 Each language has a unique set of phonemic categories and phonotactic rules which determine permissible sound sequences in that language. Behavioral research demonstrates that one’s native language shapes the perception of both sound categories and sound

Host Call Frequency Drives Attractiveness to an Eavesdropping Micropredator
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.Acoustic sexual signals are vulnerable to interception by eavesdropping unintended receivers, and signals are thus influenced by interacting selection pressures. Frequencies of 0.5–1.4 kHz attracted frog‐biting midges (Corethrella spp.) and closely matched the lowest‐calling local frog species.

Open Linguistics, 2015 When native Spanish speakers produce English words with initial [s]-consonant clusters (sC), they sometimes produce a prothetic vowel, e.g. stigma > estigma. This paper reports a production experiment on this phenomena, as well as computational modelling

A cognitive linguistic approach to analysis and correction of orthographic errors
Russian Journal of Linguistics, 2022 In this paper, we apply usage-based linguistic analysis to systematize the inventory of orthographic errors observed in the writing of non-native users of Russian.

Uptake and Evaluation of a Crosslinguistic Nonword Repetition Test in Clinical and Research Contexts
International Journal of Language &Communication Disorders, Volume 61, Issue 5, September/October 2026.ABSTRACT Introduction The Crosslinguistic Nonword Repetition Test (CL‐NWR) was designed to accommodate the phonological diversity of human languages, providing a tool that may support the identification of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) across different linguistic backgrounds. The test materials, including a PowerPoint game with recorded stimuli,

Syllable structure and prosodic words in Early Old French
Papers in Historical Phonology, 2020 This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the phonotactics of syllable rhymes based on all unique tokens in two Early Old French texts. Based on the data from this single, conservative variety, I develop Jacobs’ (1994) proposal that the Old French ...

International Journal of Language &Communication Disorders, Volume 61, Issue 5, September/October 2026.ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to compare phonological awareness and verbal working memory skills, as measured by a nonword repetition task, in children with speech sound disorders (SSD) and typically developing peers. It also examined the relationship between these two cognitive‐linguistic abilities within each group.
