Leonard, Laurence B.; Deevy, Patricia; Horvath, Sabrina; Christ, Sharon L.; Karpicke, Jeffrey; Kueser, Justin B. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: Children with developmental language disorder (DLD) have well-documented verb learning difficulties. In this study, we asked whether the inclusion of retrieval practice during the learning period would facilitate these children's verb learning relative to a similar procedure that provided no retrieval opportunities. Method: Eleven…

Brian J. Birdsell – Journal for the Psychology of Language Learning, 2023
It is well documented that exercise plays a critical role in maintaining physical health. More recently, a growing body of research has begun to focus on the mental benefits of exercise ranging from reducing depression to enhancing various cognitive abilities like memory and attention. These abilities are paramount for learning to occur, and thus,…

Vicky Chondrogianni; Morna Butcher – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2023
This study investigated the psycholinguistic and child-related variables that modulate vocabulary development and the so-called receptive-expressive gap in child L2 learners of Gaelic with English as their L1. In total, 50 6- to 8-year-old English-Gaelic bilingual children attending Gaelic-medium immersion education were administered the English…

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,…

Afonso, Olivia; Suárez-Coalla, Paz; Cuetos, Fernando; Ibáñez, Agustín; Sedeño, Lucas; García, Adolfo M. – Cognitive Science, 2019
Abstract Several studies have illuminated how processing manual action verbs (MaVs) affects the programming or execution of concurrent hand movements. Here, to circumvent key confounds in extant designs, we conducted the first assessment of motor-language integration during handwriting--a task in which linguistic and motoric processes are…

Puspani, Ida Ayu Made; Indrawati, Ni Luh Ketut Mas – Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 2021
The articles reflect how reduplication matters in the process of transferring meaning from the source language into the closest equivalent meaning in the target language. Indonesian reduplications are varied in their types and meaning that cover reduplications of verbs, nouns and adjectives and each has its own function such to indicate plurality…

Messenger, Katherine – Cognitive Science, 2021
The implicit learning account of syntactic priming proposes that the same mechanism underlies syntactic priming and language development, providing a link between a child and adult language processing. The present experiment tested predictions of this account by comparing the persistence of syntactic priming effects in children and adults.…

Shin, Gyu-Ho – Cognitive Science, 2021
It has long been believed across languages that the "Agent-First" strategy, a comprehension heuristic that maps the first noun onto the agent role, is a general cognitive bias which applies automatically and faithfully to children's comprehension. The present study asks how this strategy interplays with such grammatical cues as the…

Chen, Xuemei; Wang, Suiping; Hartsuiker, Robert J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
Structural priming studies in production have demonstrated stronger priming effects for unexpected sentence structures (inverse preference effect). This is consistent with error-based implicit learning accounts that assume learning depends on prediction error. Such prediction error can be verb-specific, leading to strong priming when a verb that…

Huang, Nick; White, Aaron Steven; Liao, Chia-Hsuan; Hacquard, Valentine; Lidz, Jeffrey – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2022
Attitude verbs like "think" and "want" describe mental states (belief and desire) that lack reliable physical correlates that could help children learn their meanings. Nevertheless, children succeed in doing so. For this reason, attitude verbs have been a parade case for syntactic bootstrapping. We assess a recent syntactic…

Werfel, Krystal L.; Reynolds, Gabriella; Fitton, Lisa – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2022
The purpose of this study was to compare developmental trajectories of oral language acquisition of children who are deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) and children with typical hearing across the preschool years. Thirty children who are DHH who use amplification and spoken language and 31 children with typical hearing completed an early language and…

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…

Lin, Kimberly R.; Wisman Weil, Lisa; Thurm, Audrey; Lord, Catherine; Luyster, Rhiannon J. – Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 2022
Background & aims: Throughout typical development, children prioritize different perceptual, social, and linguistic cues to learn words. The earliest acquired words are often those that are perceptually salient and highly imageable. Imageability, the ease in which a word evokes a mental image, is a strong predictor for word age of acquisition…

Chen, Shukun; Xuan, Winfred Wenhui; Yu, Wei – SAGE Open, 2022
Adopting the framework of projection from Systemic Functional Linguistics, the present study explored the deployment of projection in summary writing by three levels of college EFL learners from a university in mainland China. Data were collected from one summary writing by three classes of different levels' learners in an English program from a…

Lares, Erwin – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Verb-object idioms such as "kick the bucket" are very common in Spanish. This research set out to find what systematic differences exist between the literal and idiomatic interpretations of idioms of this kind from three different experimental perspectives: production, perception, and acceptability judgments focused on verbal aspect.…
