The current study aimed to evaluate whether novel word recognition, a critical skill for language development, differentiated children who stutter from children who do not stutter. Twenty children who stutter and 18 children who do not stutter, aged 3-8…

Valentina Persici; Tamara Bastianello; Erika Hoff; Marinella Majorano – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2025
The role of children's receptive vocabulary knowledge in word and nonword reading (decoding) in an orthographically transparent language is debated. Moreover, we have little understanding of how the role of vocabulary might differ between monolingual children and bilingual children from immigrant families (or language minority bilingual children…

Coran, Monica; Rodriguez-Fornells, Antoni; Ramos-Escobar, Neus; Laine, Matti; Martin, Nadine – Topics in Language Disorders, 2020
Objective: Of current interest in aphasia research is the relevance of what we can learn from studying word learning ability in aphasia. In a preliminary study, we addressed 2 issues related to the novel word learning ability of individuals with aphasia. First, as word learning engages large-scale cognitive-linguistic systems (language skills,…

Sonbul, Suhad; El-Dakhs, Dina Abdel Salam; Masrai, Ahmed – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2023
Recent studies suggest that developing L2 receptive knowledge of single words is associated with increased receptive knowledge of collocations. However, no study to date has directly examined the interrelationship between productive word knowledge and productive collocation knowledge. To address this gap, the present study administered a…
