Ohba, Akari; Deen, Kamil Ud – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2022
This article investigates the acquisition of empathy verbs in child Japanese, focusing on verbs of giving/receiving: "age-ru" 'give,' "kure-ru" 'give,' and "mora(w)-u" 'receive.' These verbs are distinguished by which argument the speaker empathizes with when describing an event. For "age-ru" 'give,' the…

Foppolo, Francesca; Bosch, Jasmijn E.; Greco, Ciro; Carminati, Maria N.; Panzeri, Francesca – Cognitive Science, 2021
Predicates like "coloring-the-star" denote events that have a temporal duration and a culmination point ("telos"). When combined with perfective aspect (e.g., "Valeria has colored the star"), a culmination inference arises implying that the action has stopped, and the star is fully colored. While the perfective aspect…

Leo Evans; Emily A. Lund; Krystal L. Werfel – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2025
Purpose: Vocabulary skills in children are typically measured with norm-referenced assessments of receptive and expressive vocabulary. Language sample analysis is an alternative method of examining vocabulary actually produced in communicative events and may be better suited to exposing subtle vocabulary weaknesses. Here, we examine the…

Ailís Cournane; Mina Hirzel; Valentine Hacquard – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2024
Modals (e.g., "can," "must") vary along two dimensions of meaning: "force" (i.e., possibility or necessity), and "flavor" (i.e., possibilities relative to knowledge [epistemic], goals [teleological], or rules [deontic] …). Comprehension studies show that children struggle with both force and flavor…

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…

The purpose of this qualitative exploratory case study was to explore how The Sims could be used to assist L1 English speakers in learning L2 Russian verbs of motion through completing in-game tasks in pairs while speaking Russian. English and Russian verbs of motion encode manner and path differently, and L2 Russian motion verbs use a variety of…

Huili Wang; Shurong Zhang; Xueyan Li; Beixian Gu – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2024
Embodied cognition holds that one's body, actions, perceptions, and situations are integrated into the cognitive process and emphasizes the fact that sensorimotor systems play a role in language comprehension. Previous studies verified the embodied effect in literal language processing but few of them paid attention to metaphors in embodied…

This dissertation investigates the syntax of case(-value)-assignment ([kappa]-ASSIGNMENT) and Phi(-feature)-agreement ([phi]-AGREEMENT) in nominal and verbal domains, with an emphasis on nomino-verbal infinitives and their cross-clausal dependencies, examining Kashmiri before extending to Hungarian. Although unrelated, both languages exhibit…

Jie Zhang – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2024
Chinese vocabulary is characterized by compound words composed of monosyllabic morphemes. Compounds sharing a common lexeme often exhibit polysemous meanings, forming a cognitive semantic network. Systematic instruction on these high-frequency compounds can help learners access their meanings and underlying structure, making learning more…

Julian M. Pine; Daniel Freudenthal; Fernand Gobet – Journal of Child Language, 2023
Verb-marking errors are a characteristic feature of the speech of typically-developing (TD) children and are particularly prevalent in the speech of children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). However, both the pattern of verb-marking error in TD children and the pattern of verb-marking deficit in DLD vary across languages and interact…

Vela-Candelas, Juan; Català, Natàlia; Demestre, Josep – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2022
Some theories of sentence processing make a distinction between two kinds of meaning: a linguistic meaning encoded at the lexicon (i.e., selectional restrictions), and an extralinguistic knowledge derived from our everyday experiences (i.e., world knowledge). According to such theories, the former meaning is privileged over the latter in terms of…

Tilbe Göksun; Asli Aktan-Erciyes; Dilay Z. Karadöller; Ö. Ece Demir-Lira – Child Development Perspectives, 2025
Children need to learn the demands of their native language in the early vocabulary development phase. In this dynamic process, parental multimodal input may shape neurodevelopmental trajectories while also being tailored by child-related factors. Moving beyond typically characterized group profiles, in this article, we synthesize growing evidence…

Naila Tallas-Mahajna; Sharon Armon-Lotem; Elinor Saiegh-Haddad – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: The Arabic verb system features a nonlinear root and pattern derivational morphology. Previous studies suggest that young Arabic and Hebrew speakers' early verb use is based on semantic complexity rather than derivational morphological structure. The present study examines the role of morphological and semantic complexity in the emergence…

Yan Ki Lai – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Mandarin Chinese is widely believed to observe the Phrase Structure Condition (first proposed in Huang 1982; hereafter 'PSC'), a PF filter on phrase-structural representations that forbids the occurrence of two (or more) syntactic constituents in the postverbal field. This idea has proved highly important and influential, as witnessed by the fact…

Huanhuan Shi; Angela Xiaoxue He; Hyun-Joo Song; Kyong-Sun Jin; Sudha Arunachalam – Language Learning and Development, 2024
To learn new words, particularly verbs, child learners have been shown to benefit from the linguistic contexts in which the words appear. However, cross-linguistic differences affect how this process unfolds. One previous study found that children's abilities to learn a new verb differed across Korean and English as a function of the sentence in…
