Exploring the Potential of Extramural English in the Development of Implicit, Automatized, and Explicit Knowledge of Grammar

Language Learning, Volume 76, Issue 2, Page 597-632, June 2026.
Abstract A key debate in second language acquisition research revolves around the relative significance of explicit and implicit learning conditions in grammar learning.

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

Language Learning, Volume 76, Issue 2, Page 565-596, June 2026.
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, Volume 76, Issue 2, Page 671-703, June 2026.
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

Language comprehension and the rhythm of perception

Mind &Language, Volume 41, Issue 3, Page 402-424, June 2026.
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 ...

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1560, Issue 1, June 2026.
Languages can be shaped by pre‐existing cognitive machinery that makes certain properties more processable. Such properties are more frequent across world languages. Most languages prefer suffixes to prefixes for grammatical meanings. Whether such typological bias is shaped by cognitive bias is debated.
