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…

Word Imageability Is Associated with Expressive Vocabulary in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
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…

Tabiri, Michael O.; Jones-Mensah, Ivy; Kongo, Angel E.; Budu, Gifty – Pegem Journal of Education and Instruction, 2022
The paper aims at discussing the difficulties that students from French speaking countries who are pursuing their education in a Ghanaian university face in identifying English determiners. This is a qualitative study that analysed the difficulties that level 100 Francophone students who have French as a Second Language(L2) and English as a…

Jiaqing Tong – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Though efforts have been made for centuries, how concepts are represented in the brain is still elusive. The embodiment view claims that the sensory, motor and other brain areas through which people acquire concept information during life experiences represent this information during concept retrieval. Some compelling neurobiological evidence…

Matthew W. Lowder; Adrian Zhou; Peter C. Gordon – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
"Hospital" can refer to a physical place or more figuratively to the people associated with it. Such place-for-institution metonyms are common in everyday language, but there remain several open questions in the literature regarding how they are processed. The goal of the current eyetracking experiments was to investigate how metonyms…

The main objective of the current study is to carry out a critical stylistic analysis of Al Jazeera's online news reports of the 2017 Gulf crisis. The study specifically examines the linguistic strategies employed by Al Jazeera newsmakers in order to effectively communicate their ideological perspectives. The research employs Jeffries's critical…

Özkan, Erdost – Journal of Education and Learning, 2023
The purpose of this study is to examine the vocabulary included in listening texts in the textbooks used in teaching Turkish to foreigners according to their types. The study was limited to New Istanbul Turkish For International Students Course Book-A1 level. Accordingly, a total of eighteen listening texts in six units were analyzed. The document…

Vogelzang, Margreet; Fuhrhop, Nanna; Mundhenk, Tobias; Ruigendijk, Esther – Journal of Research in Reading, 2023
Background: German is exceptional in its use of noun capitalisation. It has been suggested that sentence-internal capitalisation as in German may benefit processing by specifically marking a noun and thus a noun phrase (NP). However, other cues, such as a determiner, can also indicate an NP. The influence of capitalisation on processing may thus…

Perry, Lynn K.; Kucker, Sarah C.; Horst, Jessica S.; Samuelson, Larissa K. – Developmental Science, 2023
Children with delays in expressive language (late talkers) have heterogeneous developmental trajectories. Some are late bloomers who eventually "catch-up," but others have persisting delays or are later diagnosed with developmental language disorder (DLD). Early in development it is unclear which children will belong to which group. We…

Wang, Wentao; Vong, Wai Keen; Kim, Najoung; Lake, Brenden M. – Cognitive Science, 2023
Neural network models have recently made striking progress in natural language processing, but they are typically trained on orders of magnitude more language input than children receive. What can these neural networks, which are primarily distributional learners, learn from a naturalistic subset of a single child's experience? We examine this…

Andrea Bruera; Yuan Tao; Andrew Anderson; Derya Çokal; Janosch Haber; Massimo Poesio – Cognitive Science, 2023
The meaning of most words in language depends on their context. Understanding how the human brain extracts contextualized meaning, and identifying where in the brain this takes place, remain important scientific challenges. But technological and computational advances in neuroscience and artificial intelligence now provide unprecedented…

The article is concerned with educating the concepts "proper name * toponym + anthroponym" linguocultural category and summarizing the analysis with regard to cognitive perception of Nakh-Dagestanian languages. If we consider the interpretation of the terms "proper name * toponym + anthroponym" from viewpoint of cognitive…

Schonberg, Christina C.; Russell, Emily E.; Luna, Michelle L. – Developmental Science, 2020
English-monolingual children develop a shape bias early in language acquisition, such that they more often generalize a novel label based on shape than other features. Spanish-monolingual children, however, do not show this bias to the same extent (Hahn & Cantrell, 2012). Studying children who are simultaneously learning both Spanish and…

Strößner, Corina; Schurz, Gerhard – Cognitive Science, 2020
The modifier effect refers to the fact that the perceived likelihood of a property in a noun category is diminished if the noun is modified. For example, "Pigs live on farms" is rated as more likely than "Dirty pigs live on farms." The modifier effect has been demonstrated in many studies, but the underlying cognitive…

Havron, Naomi; Arnon, Inbal – Journal of Child Language, 2021
Multiword units play an important role in language learning and use. It was proposed that learning from such units can facilitate mastery of certain grammatical relations, and that children and adults differ in their use of multiword units during learning, contributing to their varying language-learning trajectories. Accordingly, adults learn…
