Ran Li; ShiMin Chen; Swathi Kiran – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: Following the Rehabilitation Treatment Specification System (RTSS) framework, the current study investigated the active ingredients in the modified semantic feature analysis (mSFA) targeting either noun or verb retrieval in Mandarin-English bilingual adults with aphasia (BWA). Method: Twelve Mandarin-English BWA completed mSFA treatment…

Lin Wang – SAGE Open, 2024
Based on the bilingual children's and adults' code-switching (CS) dependency treebanks, this paper investigates the syntactic features and pragmatic functions of the Chinese-English bilingual children's CS and compares them with bilingual adults'. It is mainly found that (1) As to the bilingual children, the mixed sentences present the longest…

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. The linguistic distance between two varieties of the same language could have an impact on the literacy acquisition journey. The present study focuses on Arabic, a…

Ní Chéileachair, Fódhla; Chondrogianni, Vasiliki; Sorace, Antonella; Paradis, Johanne; De Aguiar, Vânia – Journal of Child Language, 2023
The current study sought to investigate whether word properties can facilitate the identification of developmental language disorder (DLD) in sequential bilinguals by analyzing properties in nouns and verbs in L2 spontaneous speech as potential DLD markers. Measures of semantic (imageability, concreteness), lexical (frequency, age of acquisition)…

Ku, Yun-Ruei – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Previous research has shown that language learners tend to produce fewer and less-natural multi-word sequences (MWSs) compared to native speakers of the same language. In the present study, collocational processing was investigated in a sentence reading task. Specifically, the familiar collocations were predicted to modulate the P3 mean amplitudes…

Schonberg, Christina C.; Russell, Emily E.; Luna, Michelle L. – Developmental Science, 2020
English-monolingual children develop a shape bias early in language acquisition, such that they more often generalize a novel label based on shape than other features. Spanish-monolingual children, however, do not show this bias to the same extent (Hahn & Cantrell, 2012). Studying children who are simultaneously learning both Spanish and…

Cayado, Dave Kenneth Tayao; Chan, Ricky K. W. – Language Learning, 2023
Previous studies have shown that prior linguistic knowledge affects semantic implicit learning when stimuli are presented in the first language. We report an experiment that investigated whether such crosslinguistic influence from the first language would still emerge in the second language for semantic implicit learning of novel articles and…

Gross, Megan C.; Castilla-Earls, Anny – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2023
Purpose: This study examined the frequency, direction, and structural characteristics of code-switching (CS) during narratives by Spanish-English bilingual children with and without developmental language disorder (DLD) to determine whether children with DLD exhibit unique features in their CS that may inform clinical decision-making. Method:…

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 =…

Pairote Bennui – Indonesian Journal of English Language Teaching and Applied Linguistics, 2024
Koh Lipe, Satun is a famous tourist destination along the Andaman Sea, Southern Thailand where linguistic landscape is structured mainly in English. Monolingual, bilingual, and multilingual signage in this island displays distinctiveness of linguistic elements and linguistic diversity manifested in a variety of English lexicons. Thus, this study…

Potter, Christine E.; Fourakis, Eva; Morin-Lessard, Elizabeth; Byers-Heinlein, Krista; Lew-Williams, Casey – Developmental Science, 2019
In bilingual language environments, infants and toddlers listen to two separate languages during the same key years that monolingual children listen to just one and bilinguals rarely learn each of their two languages at the same rate. Learning to understand language requires them to cope with challenges not found in monolingual input, notably the…

Vender, Maria; Hu, Shenai; Mantione, Federica; Savazzi, Silvia; Delfitto, Denis; Melloni, Chiara – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2021
It has been shown that morphological skills are particularly enhanced in bilingual children, whereas they are compromised in dyslexics. The aim of this work is that of investigating how bilingualism interacts with dyslexia in a task measuring the subject's morphological abilities, to verify if the advantage typically found in bilingualism arises…

Fichman, Sveta; Altman, Carmit – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: The study explores referential cohesion in the narratives of bilingual preschool children with typical language development (TLD) and with specific language impairment (SLI). Referential cohesion requires integration of multiple discourse factors and is expected to pose a challenge for children with bilingual SLI due to weak proficiency…

Masruddin; Nasriandi; Ermawati; Al Hamdany, Muhammad Zuljalal – Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 2022
We examined the use of code-switching as a strategy in communication. This study investigates the impact of switching patterns on language processing by observing the Indonesian-English Codeswitching practiced by one of the most prominent hotel employees in Makassar, Indonesia. This study applied a descriptive qualitative method to find the…

Alissa Wolters; Young-Suk Kim – Grantee Submission, 2024
Purpose: There is limited research on the writing of young Spanish-English bilinguals and their writing in both languages. In the current study, we addressed whether written syntax features differed by language (English and Spanish) and varied as a function of grade level, English learner status, and instructional program (dual or English…
