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 ...

Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract We investigate what is learned from exposure to usage in verbal morphology using an error correction mechanism within an associative learning framework. We computationally simulated how second language (L2) learners would respond to naturalistic input of aspectual usage, characterized by “imperfect contingencies,” given two types of ...

Hedgehog Pillows and Squirrel Plates: Priming Semantic Structure in Children's Comprehension
Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract We report three expression–picture‐matching experiments targeting preschoolers’ semantic processing. We assessed whether 3‐ and 4‐year‐olds’ interpretations of ambiguous novel noun–noun combinations (e.g., hedgehog pillow) were affected by immediate language experience and what role lexical items played in this process.

Mind, Brain, and Education, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We learn from our mistakes, often through external feedback. However, there is little research into the intertwining of a student's neural error‐monitoring and their monitoring of external feedback (feedback‐monitoring), or how error feedback received from external sources is experienced emotionally.

Model‐Based Semantics: Doing Without Meaning Constitution
Metaphilosophy, EarlyView.Abstract This paper introduces a model‐based account of meaning, arguing that meaning properties reside in models rather than in the external world. Building on this view, it explores how such an instrumentalist framework can engage critically with various concerns raised by Wittgenstein, Quine, and Kripke[nstein]—each of whom voiced scepticism toward ...

The cognitive role of concept variability
Mind &Language, EarlyView.I present and defend concept variability, the view that concepts can admit of indefinitely many variations and changes in their representational contents without thereby losing their identity. I argue that the variability of concepts is central to their role in enabling cognition, and thus that a concept's content variability is, despite philosophical ...

Noûs, EarlyView.Abstract It is overwhelmingly plausible that part of what gives individuals their particular legal or institutional statuses is the fact that there are general laws or other policies in place that specify the conditions under which something is to have those statuses.

Social movements and the synecdoche problem
Noûs, EarlyView.Abstract Social movements are central to our contemporary understanding of social change. Accordingly, we should want to be able to say what it is that makes social movements special; that is, to say what it is that movements in their entirety have that random samples of people and organizations within the movement do not have.
