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

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract The current study examined how children apply their phonological knowledge to recognize translation equivalents in a foreign language. Target words for recognition were either phonologically similar (cognate) or dissimilar (noncognate) to words they already knew in their first language.

Revisiting Text Readability and Processing Effort in Second Language Reading: Bayesian Analysis of Eye‐Tracking Data

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract Studies have explored the relationship between text readability and processing effort in second language (L2) reading—as evidenced by eye movements. However, these studies generally relied on short texts, raising concerns about the validity of the analyzed data. This study reexamined these relationships using open‐source eye‐tracking data from

Head Gestures Do Not Serve as Precursors of Prosodic Focus Marking in the Second Language as They Do in the First Language

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract Research shows that children use head gestures to mark discourse focus before developing the required prosodic cues in their first language (L1), and their gestures affect the prosodic parameters of their speech. We investigated whether head gestures also act as precursors and bootstrappers of prosodic focus marking in second language (L2 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Did I have a dream last night? White dreaming as metacognitive feelings

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
While most research on sleep mentation focuses on dream reports, sleep experiences can also include reports lacking content, such as white dreaming—the feeling of knowing one dreamt but being unable to recall its contents. I claim that white dreaming is a metacognitive feeling, akin to tip‐of‐the‐tongue and déjà experiences.
