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

Language Learning, Volume 76, Issue 3, Page 845-879, September 2026.
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, Volume 76, Issue 3, Page 1027-1061, September 2026.
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 ...

Visual Components to Interpretation—Formal Approaches to Visible Meaning

Language and Linguistics Compass, Volume 20, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Visual components of communication interact with the core linguistic system at all levels and make an important contribution to the meaning of the utterance expressed. This does not only apply to sign languages, which exclusively rely on the visual channel, but also co‐speech gestures and emojis, which are visual means that accompany and ...

“This is the Work I'm Most Proud of”: K‐Pop Fandom and Children's Multilingual Literacy Practices

The Modern Language Journal, Volume 110, Issue 3, Page 827-843, Autumn (Fall) 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper examines how children's affective investments in K‐pop generated sustained multilingual literacy practices in an arts‐based bookmaking project. Drawing on Pennycook's concept of language assemblages and Norton's investment framework, and informed by Paris and Alim's distinction between heritage and community practices, we analyse ...

Rhythm Across Species: Situating Human Speech in a Comparative Framework

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1563, Issue 1, September 2026.
We analyzed speech rhythms from 48 human languages using methods drawn from biology and linguistics. Interonset intervals across languages are surprisingly similar, with a median value of 2 seconds., despite substantial differences in linguistic structure and prosody. A comparative rhythm analysis shows that human speech falls within the range reported
