Purpose: The finite verb morphology composite (FVMC) is a valid measure for charting children's tense development and for differentiating children with and without language impairment during preschool and early elementary years. However, it is unclear whether FVMC scores vary as a function of language sample elicitation contexts. The current study…

Abner, Natasha; Namboodiripad, Savithry; Spaepen, Elizabet; Goldin-Meadow, Susan – Language Learning and Development, 2022
Human languages, signed and spoken, can be characterized by the structural patterns they use to associate communicative "forms" with "meanings." One such pattern is paradigmatic morphology, where complex words are built from the systematic use "and re-use" of sub-lexical units. Here, we provide evidence of emergent…

Grasso, Camille L.; Ziegler, Johannes C.; Mirault, Jonathan; Coull, Jennifer T.; Montant, Marie – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
The processing of time activates a spatial left-to-right mental timeline, where past events are "located" to the left and future events to the right. If past and future words activate this mental timeline, then the processing of such words should interfere with hand movements that go in the opposite direction. To test this hypothesis, we…

Biondo, Nicoletta; Soilemezidi, Marielena; Mancini, Simona – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
The ability to think about nonpresent time is a crucial aspect of human cognition. Both the past and future imply a temporal displacement of an event outside the "now." They also intrinsically differ: The past refers to inalterable events; the future to alterable events, to possible worlds. Are the past and future processed similarly or…

This study examined such representations in UK newspapers in the period 2011-2020 using a corpus-based approach. It also considered…

Jiang, Feng; Hyland, Ken – Written Communication, 2023
Research abstracts are an increasingly important aspect of research articles in all knowledge fields, summarizing the full article and encouraging readers to access it. Graetz suggests that four main features contribute to this purpose--the use of past tense, third person, passive, and the non-use of negatives, although this claim has never been…

Lisa Klasen; Sonja Ugen; Carole Dording; Michel Fayol; Constanze Weth – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
Inaudible syntactic markers are especially difficult to spell. This paper examines how 455 fourth graders spell silent French plural markers in a dictation with real and pseudowords after one year of formal French instruction (L2). The Generalized Linear Mixed Model analysis shows first that noun plural spelling (real and pseudo) is a strong…
