Eman Altoeriqi; Mohammad Aljutaily – SAGE Open, 2023
Covert contrast is the statistically reliable distinction between target language phonemes produced in the process of language acquisition that is nevertheless not perceived by a native speaker of that language. This paper examines the acquisition of contrasts in four Najdi Arabic fricatives, /s/, /[voiceless palato-alveolar fricative]/,…

Art Tsang – Language Teaching Research, 2025
Learners' anxiety has drawn widespread attention in the field of second language/foreign language (L2/FL) teaching and learning (e.g. classroom anxiety, communication (with foreigners) anxiety, and anxiety associated with the four macro-skills, namely listening, reading, speaking, and writing). However, this topic is under-explored in L2/FL public…

Lee, Youngmee – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Phonological awareness (PA) skills are critical for spoken language acquisition and literacy. PA manifests in various skills that can be identified based on task performance and speech sound unit size. This study compared the PA skills of children with early cochlear implantation (E-CI), children with late cochlear implantation (L-CI),…

Tong, Shelley; Zhang, Puyuan; He, Xinjie – Child Development, 2020
This study examined distributional statistical learning of positional, phonetic, and semantic regularities of an artificial orthography in Chinese children aged 8-10 years: 29 with dyslexia, 29 age-matched controls, and 30 reading-level matched controls. Despite having positional regularity learning performance comparable to the controls, the…

Luthra, Sahil; You, Heejo; Rueckl, Jay G.; Magnuson, James S. – Cognitive Science, 2020
Visual word recognition is facilitated by the presence of "orthographic neighbors" that mismatch the target word by a single letter substitution. However, researchers typically do not consider "where" neighbors mismatch the target. In light of evidence that some letter positions are more informative than others, we investigate…

McKenna, Victoria S.; Hylkema, Jennifer A.; Tardif, Monique C.; Stepp, Cara E. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: This study examined vocal hyperfunction (VH) using voice onset time (VOT). We hypothesized that speakers with VH would produce shorter VOTs, indicating increased laryngeal tension, and more variable VOTs, indicating disordered vocal motor control. Method: We enrolled 32 adult women with VH (aged 20-74 years) and 32 age- and sex-matched…

Magdalena Wrembel; Ulrike Gut; Romana Kopecková; Anna Balas – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2024
There is a scarcity of research into the relationship between speech perception and production from a multilingual perspective. The present exploratory study investigates longitudinally the acquisition of rhotic sounds in 24 adolescent learners who have the same language repertoires (English, German, Polish), with English being their L2, and…

Clifton Pye – First Language, 2024
The Mayan language Mam uses complex predicates to express events. Complex predicates map multiple semantic elements onto a single word, and consequently have a blend of lexical and phrasal features. The chameleon-like nature of complex predicates provides a window on children's ability to express phrasal combinations at the one-word stage of…

Görgen, Ruth; De Simone, Elisabetta; Schulte-Körne, Gerd; Moll, Kristina – Journal of Research in Reading, 2021
Background: The role of morphological awareness for literacy development is non-controversial, but it is likely to depend on the characteristics of a specific orthography. Previous studies analysing the role of morphological awareness are mainly based on English samples; thus, it is unclear how generalisable these results are. In the current…

Munson, Benjamin; Logerquist, Mara K.; Kim, Hyuna; Martell, Alisha; Edwards, Jan – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: We evaluated whether children whose inaccurate /[voiced alveolar approximant]/ productions showed evidence phonetic differentiation with /w/ at 3.5-4.5 years of age improved in /[voiced alveolar approximant]/ production over the next year more than children whose inaccurate productions did not show evidence of such differentiation. We…

Zhou, Junyi; Li, Xingshan – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
In the present article, we report two eye-tracking experiments on how Chinese readers segment incremental words while reading Chinese. Incremental words are multicharacter words containing a subset of characters that constitute another word (referred to as the "embedded word"). For example, in a word containing three characters ABC…

Purpose: The association between voice alterations, health-related quality of life (HRQL), and chronic respiratory diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), has previously been reported. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that HRQL and dysphonia-associated handicap of patients diagnosed with asthma or…

Huensch, Amanda; Nagle, Charlie – Language Learning, 2021
This study investigated the relationship among intelligibility, comprehensibility, and accentedness in the speech of second language learners of Spanish of varying proficiency in instructed contexts. It conceptually replicated studies by Munro and Derwing (1995a) and Derwing and Munro (1997), who found partial independence among the three speech…

Martinez, Ruth Maria; Goad, Heather; Dow, Michael – Second Language Research, 2023
Feature-based approaches to acquisition principally focus on second language (L2) learners' ability to perceive non-native consonants when the features required are either contrastively present or entirely absent from the first language (L1) grammar. As features may function contrastively or allophonically in the consonant and/or vowel systems of…

Rivera Campos, Ahmed; Boyce, Suzanne E.; Hwu, Fenfang; DeMott, Brittany N. – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2023
Common descriptions of articulatory requirements for production of the alveolar trill /r/ mainly focus on describing the configuration of the anterior portions of the tongue, while in contrast, the more posterior parts receive limited attention. Understanding how the posterior portions of the tongue move is vital for understanding speech motor…
