Cherepovskaia, Natalia; Slioussar, Natalia; Denissenko Denissenko, Anna – Second Language Research, 2022
Using written texts elicited from students with different proficiency levels, we studied the acquisition of nominal cases in Russian as a second language. We established the order in which cases were acquired (nominative, locative, accusative, genitive, instrumental, and dative), as well as certain characteristics of their acquisition…

Goldenberg, Elizabeth R.; Repetti, Rena L.; Sandhofer, Catherine M. – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Children learn what words mean from hearing words used across a variety of contexts. Understanding how different contextual distributions relate to the words young children say is critical because context robustly affects basic learning and memory processes. This study examined children's everyday experiences using naturalistic video recordings to…

Bar-On, Amalia; Oron, Tal; Peleg, Orna – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2021
Effects of semantic versus syntactic constraints on resolution of Hebrew heterophonic-homographic words were examined at three reading skill levels. Fourth-and sixth-grade students and a group of adults read aloud sentences containing two types of heterophonic-homographs: noun-noun (e.g., BYCH [Hebrew characters] is read as beitsa 'egg' and bitsa…

Reuterskiöld, Christina; Hallin, Anna Eva; Nair, Vishnu K. K.; Hansson, Kristina – Applied Linguistics, 2021
This article provides an overview of the research on morpho-syntactic challenges in Swedish-speaking children with developmental language disorder (DLD), compared with typically developing (TD) children learning Swedish as their first and second language (L1/L2). Children with DLD show vulnerabilities with verb finiteness, the possessive…

Roeser, Jens; Torrance, Mark; Baguley, Thom – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
Response onset latencies for sentences that start with a conjoined noun phrase are typically longer than for sentences starting with a simple noun phrase. This suggests that advance planning has phrasal scope, which may or may not be lexically driven. All previous studies have involved spoken production, leaving open the possibility that effects…

Havron, Naomi; de Carvalho, Alex; Fiévet, Anne-Caroline; Christophe, Anne – Child Development, 2019
Adults create and update predictions about what speakers will say next. This study asks whether prediction can drive language acquisition, by testing whether 3- to 4-year-old children (n = 45) adapt to recent information when learning novel words. The study used a syntactic context which can precede both nouns and verbs to manipulate children's…

Aryani, I Gusti Agung Istri; Sudipa, I Nengah; Yadnya, Ida Bagus Putra; Dhanawaty, Ni Made – English Language Teaching, 2019
Translating specific language for a special subject such as animal science terms should have an understanding of the knowledge. The results of translation in their forms also give effect to their meaning in order to obtain the equivalence and adaptation from the source language (SL) into the target language (TL). This study aims at finding…

Azarova, Irina; Zakharov, Victor – NORDSCI, 2019
The dependency grammars for such languages as Russian usually treat the prepositions in combination with subordinate nouns as major elements as if the case form in the prepositional construction had some self-contained meaning subjected to the regular transformation. This scheme may be valid for languages with restricted declensional paradigms,…

Clifton, Charles; Frazier, Lyn – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2020
Domain restriction is a pervasive if often neglected part of discourse comprehension. Speakers and authors implicitly limit the domain of discourse of quantifiers (e.g., "everyone") and noun phrases (e.g., "the girls"). Our previous research shows that an initial temporal or locative prepositional phrase (PP), which introduces…

Issa, Iyad – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2023
Spelling poses a challenge to Arabic-speaking learners due to the complexity of the morphological and orthographic systems in Arabic. Arabic morphology has been argued to play a critical role in spelling since its morphological operations are built on a system consisting of a root that is interlocking into different patterns of vowels to form…

Lertcharoenwanich, Pallapa – LEARN Journal: Language Education and Acquisition Research Network, 2023
For English language learners, mastering the use of near-synonyms can be challenging. Despite the semantic similarities of English synonyms, they are not interchangeable in all contexts. The objectives of this corpus-based study are to examine differences between the near-synonymous adjectives "blank," "empty" and…

Nathan Vandeweerd; Alex Housen; Magali Paquot – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2023
This study builds upon previous research investigating the construct validity of phraseological complexity as an index of L2 development and proficiency. Whereas previous studies have focused on cross-sectional comparisons of written productions across proficiency levels, the current study compares the "longitudinal" development of…

Edith Kaan; Haoyun Dai; Xiaodong Xu – Second Language Research, 2024
According to rational adaptation approaches of language processing, readers adjust their expectations of upcoming information depending on the distributional properties of the preceding language input. However, adaptation to sentence structures has not been systematically attested, especially not in second-language (L2) processing. To further our…

Brian Strong – Reading Matrix: An International Online Journal, 2024
While previous research has provided insights into vocabulary learning through extensive reading, the differential effects of word frequency and word class on active form and passive meaning word recognition remain less understood. By evaluating learners' post-test performance in active form recognition and passive meaning recognition, this study…

Napasri Timyam – LEARN Journal: Language Education and Acquisition Research Network, 2024
Studies of English academic writing have revealed a shift to a compressed style, with preferences for lexical and phrasal types of noun modifiers over clausal modifiers. However, condensed noun phrases may result in a loss of explicitness since they lack grammatical markers specifying the semantic relations between head nouns and modifiers. This…
