Journal of Sociolinguistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sociolinguists emphasize the context‐dependence of social meanings activated by linguistic variation. I examine this dynamic using the Goffmanian concept of frames, focusing on the intersection of gender and sexuality. More specifically, I explore pitch variation as an index of femininity in the domestic abuse victimization frame.

How Flexible Are Grammars Past Puberty? The Case of Relative Clauses in Turkish‐American Returnees
Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract How flexible are grammars after puberty? To answer this, we test returnees: heritage speakers (HS) born in an immigration context who returned to their homeland in later years. If returnees are targetlike, then language is still malleable after puberty; in contrast, if maturational effects are in play, postpuberty returnees will show ...

We investigated whether head gestures also act as precursors and bootstrappers of prosodic focus marking in second language (L2 ...

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 ...
