Tim Stoeckel; Stuart McLean – Reading in a Foreign Language, 2022
We are encouraged by Cobb's (2022) description of changes to the Morpholex profiling tool (https://www.lextutor.ca/cgi-bin/morpho/lex/) resulting in more accurate word classifications. This addresses one point in our recent commentary on Morpholex and on Laufer and Cobb's (2020) study using Morpholex (McLean & Stoeckel, 2021). However, Cobb…

Purpose: We measure typically developing monolingual child Spanish speakers' lexical development with a range of standard expressive and receptive tests. We also measure their comprehension of sentences with the existential quantifier "algunos" "some" to determine their abilities to generate "some, but not all" scalar…

Mabel L. Rice; Kathleen Kelsey Earnest; Lesa Hoffman – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: Identification of children with specific language impairment (SLI) can be difficult even though their language can lag that of age peers throughout childhood. A clinical grammar marker featuring tense marking in simple clauses is valid and reliable for young children but is limited by ceiling effects around the age of 8 years. This study…

Kenanidis, Panagiotis; Chondrogianni, Vicky; Legendre, Géraldine; Culbertson, Jennifer – Journal of Child Language, 2021
Previous studies across languages (English, Spanish, French) have argued that perceptual salience and cue reliability can explain cross-linguistic differences in early comprehension of verbal agreement. Here we tested this hypothesis further by investigating early comprehension in Greek, where markers have high salience and reliability (compared…

Burton, Lauren; Nunes, Terezinha; Evangelou, Maria – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
Background: Intervention studies have reported the advantage of teaching children about morphemes for spelling, but direct comparisons between explicit and implicit teaching have been examined systematically in relation to only a few morphological rules. Aims: This study compared explicit versus implicit teaching of the functional rule for the…

Vaughn, Lori Elizabeth – ProQuest LLC, 2021
African American English (AAE)-speaking children's ability to judge the grammaticality of sentences was evaluated by their clinical status and grammatical structure. The study originated from a need to understand more about the tense and agreement systems of AAE speakers with specific language impairment (SLI) relative to their typically…

Glyn Hicks; Laura Domínguez; E. Jamieson; Monika S. Schmid – Language Learning Journal, 2024
This article sheds light on the linguistic and extralinguistic conditions that determine the likelihood of L1 grammatical attrition in late sequential bilinguals. We explore whether aspectual interpretations associated with the present tense may be a vulnerable area for the native grammar of 30 late Spanish-English bilinguals who have settled in…

Ibrahim A. Asadi; Abeer Asli-Badarneh; Raphiq Ibrahim; Hussein Hamzah – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: This study examined the differences in spoken Arabic (SpA) and standard Arabic (StA) in inflectional (gender, number, possessive pronouns, and tense) construction use in Arabic among preschoolers. Moreover, we tested the contribution of the inflectional constructions possessed in kindergarten to reading skills in the first grade and…

Yoshiki Fujiwara; Hiroyuki Shimada – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2024
The goal of this paper is to tease apart two approaches to the source of children's consistent scope assignment in negative sentences containing logical connectives: the Semantic Subset Principle and the Semantic Subset Maxim. Previous developmental work has observed that four- to six-year-old children across languages have difficulty with…

Dimitrios Ntelitheos; Marta Szreder – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2024
We provide an account of the developmental trajectory of Emirati Arabic negation particles. We treat the non-verbal predicate negator (NVPN) "mub" as a negative copula, in contrast to the verbal predicate negator (VPN) "maa," which encodes sentential negation in verbal and existential contexts. The analysis is supported by…

C. M. Downey – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Advances in Natural Language Processing (NLP) over the past decade have largely been driven by the scale of data and computation used to train large neural network-based models. However, these techniques are inapplicable to the vast majority of the world's languages, which lack the vast digitized text datasets available for English and a few other…
