Joubran-Awadie, Nancy; Shalhoub-Awwad, Yasmin – First Language, 2023
When the written language that children learn to read and write is distinct from the oral language they acquired as their mother tongue, they may encounter substantial challenges.

Nikole D. Patson; Tessa Warren; Fabian Hurler; Barbara Kaup – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
To develop theories of how comprehenders extract the message from a linguistic stream, it is critical to understand how they conceptually represent referents. The experiments reported here focus on singular collective nouns (e.g., "committee," "team"), which introduce a single group into the discourse and test whether they…

Gulgowski, Piotr; Blaszczak, Joanna – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2020
The number meaning of grammatically plural nouns is to some extent context sensitive. In negative sentences, plural nouns typically receive an inclusive reading referring to any number of individuals (one or many). This contrasts with their more frequent exclusive reading referring to a group of two or more individuals. The present study…

Silué, Djibril Nanourgo; Koné, Antoine Kiyofon – Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 2021
This paper takes issue with the view of conceptual structures as autonomous syntactic structures generated by syntactic formation rules. Instead, it adopts the position developed by Croft and Cruse (2004), in showing that linguistic knowledge -- knowledge of meaning and form -- is basically conceptual structure. In fact the, fundamental problem…

Davies, Benjamin; Xu Rattansone, Nan; Demuth, Katherine – Journal of Child Language, 2020

In this study, we tested whether toddlers can exploit phrasal groupings for syntactic categorization in the face of noisy co-occurrence patterns. Using a visual fixation…
