Carla H. Consolini; Kristopher Kyle – Applied Linguistics, 2024
Research has demonstrated that features of lexical and lexicogrammatical use are important predictors of productive second language (L2) proficiency (e.g. Kyle et al. 2018). While some features of lexical use have been studied with L2s other than English (e.g. Tracy-Ventura 2017), multivariate lexical and lexicogrammatical approaches in these L2s…

The present study examines the lack of representation of minority communities in the existing literature by examining the representation of Afro-Latinxs in texts and visuals in seven Spanish as a Heritage Language (SHL) textbooks, and the ideologies behind these representations. Drawing upon Norman Fairclough's (1995) model for conducting Critical…

Panagiota Margaza; Anna Gavarró – Second Language Research, 2024
Greek and Spanish are two languages that display a similar subject distribution with unergative/unaccusative verbs, but different word orders with focused subjects (SV in Greek and VS in Spanish). Here we consider subject-verb word order in second language (L2) Greek and L2 Spanish in order to test the Interface Hypothesis (IH). To this end, we…

Raquel Fernández Fuertes; Tamara Gómez Carrero; Juana M. Liceras – Second Language Research, 2025
Codeswitching has been used as a tool to investigate how the properties of the two language systems interact in the bilingual mind with relatively few studies investigating bilingual children. We target two groups of L1-Spanish-L2-English children in Spain to address language activation and language inhibition in the processing of codeswitching…

Mariana Mejia Turnbull; Michelle MacRoy-Higgings; Brett A. Martin – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2024
The purpose of this study was to analyze and compare the linguistic content of the Spanish HINT and the Spanish AzBio sentence tests. The results revealed that the Spanish AzBio is linguistically more complex as compared with the Spanish HINT in terms of sentence length, complexity, and grammatical structure.

París, Luis; Celi, Maria Alejandra; Tabullo, Ángel; Godoy, Mahayana C. – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2023
The English Resultative Construction (ERC) is a satellite-framed structure with no identical equivalent in Spanish. In a series of studies, we analyzed and compared recognition (acceptability judgment task) and comprehension (sentence comprehension task) of three ERC subtypes with the English Depictive Construction (EDC) (which has a Spanish…

Diaz, Adriana Raquel; Mejía, Glenda; Villamizar, Andrés Gabriel – L2 Journal, 2022
This paper is motivated by growing, inexorable tensions between societal impetus to advance inclusive (non-binary) linguistic change across many Spanish-speaking communities, and the seemingly removed reality of the Spanish as a world language classroom. As a first step in reconciling these tensions and breaking free from apparent disciplinary…

Jessica Velez-Aviles – ProQuest LLC, 2024
In two visual world eye-tracking experiments, this dissertation examines the role of literacy on predictive processing during spoken language comprehension. Previous studies have shown that comprehenders can use morphosyntactic cues available in the input to generate predictions about upcoming information. Recent key findings also suggest that…

Kristen Schroeder; Joana Rosselló; Teresa Ribalta Torrades; Wolfram Hinzen – Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 2023
Background & Aims: Narratives are regularly elicited as part of standardized assessments for autism spectrum conditions (ASC) such as the ADOS, but have rarely been utilized as linguistic data in their own right. We here aimed for a specific and comprehensive quantitative linguistic profile of such narratives across nominal, verbal, and…

Long, Avizia Yim – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2022
Research on the second language (L2) acquisition of the Spanish copulas has been central to our understanding of key concepts and issues in the field of SLA such as stages of development and variability in L2s. However, this research has focused nearly exclusively on native English-speaking learners. The present study examined native…

Gudmestad, Aarnes; Edmonds, Amanda – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2022
In the current study, we examined the role of first-language (L1) influence on the additional-language development of grammatical gender marking in Spanish. The participants were L1 speakers of English or French (N = 215), who were learning Spanish and who were at three instructional levels. The data came from their use of gender marking in…

Samuel S. Davidson – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Automated corrective feedback (ACF), in which a computer system helps language learners identify and correct errors in their writing or speech, is considered an important tool for language instruction by many researchers. Such systems allow learners to correct their own mistakes, thereby reducing teacher workload and potentially preventing issues…

Hurtado, Irati; Montrul, Silvina – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2021
Spanish monolingual speakers often produce recipient ("Pedro le da un lápiz a María") and nonrecipient constructions ("Antonio le lava la camiseta a Carmen") doubled by a dative clitic. Second language speakers and heritage speakers usually avoid clitics. This study examined whether structural priming could effectively increase…

Wagley, Neelima; Marks, Rebecca A.; Bedore, Lisa M.; Kovelman, Ioulia – Child Development, 2022
This study examines the influence of language environment on language and reading skills and the cross-linguistic contributions to reading outcomes in 132 Spanish-English bilingual children ages 7-12 (52% female; 98% Hispanic). We present three major findings: children's language knowledge is separable into general (e.g., phonological awareness)…
