Janne Bondi Johannessen; Björn Lundquist; Yulia Rodina; Eirik Tengesdal; Nina Hagen Kaldhol; Emel Türker; Valantis Fyndanis – Second Language Research, 2025
The present study examines grammatical gender knowledge in offline production (gender marking on indefinite articles) and online gender processing (visual world paradigm) in adult second language (L2) learners of Norwegian with three different first languages (L1s): Greek, Russian, and Turkish. In particular, it investigates the role of the…

Kupisch, Tanja; Mitrofanova, Natalia; Westergaard, Marit – Journal of Child Language, 2022
We investigate German-Russian bilingual children's sensitivity to formal and semantic cues when assigning gender to nouns in German. Across languages, young children have been shown to primarily rely on phonological cues, whereas sensitivity to semantic and syntactic cues increases with age. With its semi-transparent gender assignment system,…

Kanerva, Oksana; Häikiö, Tuomo – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
We investigated whether native Finnish speakers can grasp the meaning of Russian onomatopoeic words without any prior knowledge of the Russian language. In Experiment 1, elicitation test, naïve listeners generated associations for the acoustic events depicted by onomatopoeic words they heard. A cluster analysis suggested presence of different…

Archibald, John – Second Language Research, 2023
In this research note I want to address some misunderstandings about the construct of redeployment and suggest that we need to fit these behavioural data from Yang, Chen and Xiao (YCX) into a broader context. I will suggest that these authors' work is not just about the failure of three models to predict equivalence classification. Equivalence…

Anna Chrabaszcz; Nina Ladinskaya; Anastasiya Lopukhina – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2025
The present study examines the mechanisms of lexical case acquisition in Russian by two-to-five-year-old Russian monolingual (n = 54) and Russian-English bilingual children (n = 38). Participants performed a picture-based sentence completion task. Sentences were constructed to elicit production of real Russian words (n = 24) and nonce words (n =…

Shakhlo Nematova – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Prior research has extensively explored audiovisual speech perception and literacy skills in various linguistic contexts. Studies have shown that children's ability to integrate auditory and visual speech cues plays a crucial role in language acquisition and development (Erdener & Burnham, 2013; Lalonde & Werner, 2021). Furthermore,…

Tania Ionin; Tatiana Luchkina; Maria Goldshtein – Second Language Research, 2024
This article reports on two experiments that examine the computation of contrastive focus in Russian on the part of adult English-dominant heritage speakers and second language learners of Russian, in comparison with baseline monolinguals. The first experiment uses an acceptability judgment task to determine whether bilingual and monolingual…

Ulicheva, Anastasia; Roon, Kevin D.; Cherkasova, Zoya; Mousikou, Petroula – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
Most psycholinguistic models of reading aloud and of speech production do not include linguistic representations more fine-grained than the phoneme, despite the fact that the available empirical evidence suggests that feature-level representations are activated during reading aloud and speech production. In a series of masked-priming experiments…

Vottonen, Erja; Kujamäki, Minna – Interpreter and Translator Trainer, 2021
This paper reports on an empirical experiment in which a group of MA student translators justified their translation solutions. The aim of the work was to determine to what extent students rely on their theoretical knowledge of translation in their justifications and use the metalanguage of the field. The data consists of transcribed…

Chrabaszcz, Anna; Onischik, Elena; Dragoy, Olga – Second Language Research, 2022
This study examines the role of cross-linguistic transfer versus general processing strategy in two groups of heritage speakers (n = 28 per group) with the same heritage language -- Russian -- and typologically different dominant languages: English and Estonian. A group of homeland Russian speakers (n = 36) is tested to provide baseline…
