Bovolenta, Giulia; Husband, E. Matthew – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Prediction in language comprehension has become a key mechanism in recent psycholinguistic theory, with evidence from lexical prediction as a primary source.

Keiner, Edwin – European Educational Research Journal, 2019
In the present scientific era which prefers evidence-based educational research and methodological gold standards, 'rigour', 'discipline' and the 'systematic' serve as standardising and homogenising concepts and as powerful identifiers of 'normal science' in the context of historical and cultural contingencies. These concepts serve to construct…

Pavesi, Maria; Formentelli, Maicol – Multilingua: Journal of Cross-Cultural and Interlanguage Communication, 2019
Insults are prototypical means to express impoliteness in social interactions. In film they are prime ways of staging conflict or jocular abuse, reflecting everyday communicative practices while contributing to the emotionality of dialogue, characterisation and plot advancement. Both original and dubbed films offer a privileged perspective to…

Tenderini, Miriam S.; de Leeuw, Esther; Eilola, Tiina M.; Pearce, Marcus T. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
Processing of emotional meaning is crucial in many areas of psychology, including language and music processing. This issue takes on particular significance in bilinguals because it has been suggested that bilinguals process affective words differently in their first (L1) and second, later acquired languages (L2). We undertook a series of five…
