Word Predictability as a Measure of Second Language Proficiency
Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract This study introduces predictabilityBERT, a novel metric for assessing second language (L2) proficiency based on the predictability of word choices in learner language production. Using BERT (Devlin et al., 2019), we calculated the conditional probability of each word in a text given its surrounding context.

However, little is known about when and how learners begin to benefit from explicit instruction over the course of language ...

Inferential communication: The primacy of external representations
Mind &Language, EarlyView.We argue that intentionalist accounts of ostensive‐inferential communication fail to adequately explain the role of external representations in human communication. We propose that the contents of a specific form of representational communication, symbolic depictions via spatio‐temporal arrangements of objects, can be inferred without attributing ...

When stereotypical inferences prevail in polysemy processing: Explaining fallacies of equivocation
Mind &Language, EarlyView.This paper develops and examines the first psycholinguistic explanation of fallacies of equivocation. On this basis, it addresses questions about polysemy processing. The paper proceeds from a case study on fallacies involving polysemous appearance verbs.
