Surányi, Balázs; Pinter, Lilla – Journal of Child Language, 2022
This study investigates children's identification of prosodic focus in Hungarian, a language in which syntactic focus-marking is mandatory. Assuming that regular syntactic focus-marking diminishes the disambiguating role of prosodic marking in acquisition, we expected that in sentences in which focus is only disambiguated by prosody, adult-like…

Williams, Glenn P.; Panayotov, Nikolay; Kempe, Vera – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
Many bidialectal children grow up speaking a variety (e.g., a regional dialect) that differs from the variety in which they subsequently acquire literacy. Previous computational simulations and artificial literacy learning experiments with adults have demonstrated lower accuracy in reading "contrastive" words for which dialect variants…

Jamie Day – ProQuest LLC, 2022
In the United States, there exists a chronic shortage of qualified special education teachers to provide instructional services to students with disabilities.

Raviv, Limor; Meyer, Antje; Lev-Ari, Shiri – Cognitive Science, 2020
Social network structure has been argued to shape the structure of languages, as well as affect the spread of innovations and the formation of conventions in the community. Specifically, theoretical and computational models of language change predict that sparsely connected communities develop more systematic languages, while tightly knit…

Grover, Virginia L. – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2023
Scholars have long critiqued points of view in which monolingual perspectives are seen as normative in research on multilingualism. In relation to this "monolingual orientation," however, in which monolingualism is perceived to be the implicit norm, less work has been dedicated to methodological challenges. As disciplinary perspectives…

Washington, Julie A.; Lee-James, Ryan; Stanford, Carla Burrell – Reading Teacher, 2023
There is tremendous variation in the use of American English by major geographic regions, as well as within these regions or cities, and by cultural background. The variety of English spoken by many African American people in the United States is called African American English (AAE). AAE affects early literacy skills in ways that may require…

Nishizawa, Hitoshi – Language Testing, 2023
In this study, I investigate the construct validity and fairness pertaining to the use of a variety of Englishes in listening test input. I obtained data from a post-entry English language placement test administered at a public university in the United States. In addition to expectedly familiar American English, the test features Hawai'i,…

Thu Anh Mai; Alwin de Rooij – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2023
Human creativity and ingenuity partly depend on divergent thinking -- the ability to generate many varied, original, and elaborate responses. Prior research has found ample evidence of an effect of cognitive factors, including the organization of semantic networks and associative ability, on divergent thinking. Less is known, however, about how…

The following study focuses on learners of French in an English-dominant context and contributes to a better understanding of language hierarchization by investigating attitudes toward different varieties of French. It aims to identify a possible correlation between the evaluation of different varieties of French and the participants'…

Many Aboriginal Australian communities are undergoing language shift from traditional Indigenous languages to contact varieties such as Kriol, an English-lexified Creole. Kriol is reportedly characterised by lexical items with highly variable phonological specifications, and variable implementation of voicing and manner contrasts in obstruents…

Chioma C. Ezeh – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2023
Culturally relevant assessments (CRA) account for multiple socio-cultural identities, experiences, and values that mediate how students know, think, and respond to test items. Given the diversity of modern classrooms, it is critical that education researchers and practitioners understand and strive to implement CRA practices. This systematic…

John E. Booth – rEFLections, 2024
That a certain class of verb commonly known as 'statives' is undergoing change in terms of the way in which certain verbs of this type are being used in everyday speech is nothing new to the field of linguistics. Much has been written about it, and the author of this paper alone has been preoccupied with the subject for many years now. However,…

The present study takes a variationist perspective to explore the varietal repertoires of adult learners of German as a second language (L2), that is, their variable use of standard German, Austro-Bavarian dialect, and mixture varieties. Forty L2 learners completed a virtual reality task involving interactions with dialect-speaking and…
