In the present thesis, we present a novel phonological universal, which we name the XYZ effect. The effect in question is foremostly related to the phonotactic well-formedness of words and pseudo-words. In any specific language variety, the XYZ effect is

Words and Meters: Neural Evidence for a Connection Between Individual Differences in Statistical Learning and Rhythmic Ability in Infancy

Developmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Music and language are both hierarchically structured: syllables combine into words, and meters are groupings of musical beats. Statistical learning (SL) supports speech segmentation through computation of transitional probabilities between syllables, and individual differences in SL ability were found predictive of further language ...

A double dissociation between memory span and word processing among neurological patients attests to the functional independence of verbal short‐term memory

Journal of Neuropsychology, Volume 20, Issue 1, Page 101-114, March 2026.
Abstract Reports of patients with impaired verbal short‐term memory are central to the debate of whether there are independent short‐term stores or whether immediate repetition is supported by activated long‐term memory. Patients with selective impairments of verbal short‐term memory support models with independent buffers.

A Guide to Build (ING) GLMM Trees in Canadian Maritime English: Part 2, Linguistic Factors

Language and Linguistics Compass, Volume 20, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT This second paper in a two‐part methodological guide demonstrates how Generalised Linear Mixed Model (GLMM) tree analysis can be used to explore linguistic conditioning in sociolinguistic variation. Building on Part 1, which introduced the dataset and illustrated how GLMM trees reveal social patterning in (ING) variation, Part 2 focuses on the
