Direct linkTokowicz, Natasha; Rice, Caitlin A.; Ekves, Zachary – Second Language Research, 2023
Some words have more than one translation across languages. Such translation-ambiguous words are harder to learn, recognize, and produce for individuals across the language learning spectrum. Past research demonstrates that learning both translations of translation-ambiguous words on consecutive trials confers an accuracy advantage relative to…

This paper examines possible psycholinguistic mechanisms governing stem vowel changes of irregular verbs in intermediate English learners of German as a foreign language (GFL). In Experiment 1, nonce-infinitives embedded in an authentic fictional text had to be inflected for German preterite, thus testing possible analogy-driven pattern…

Nitschke, Sanjo; Kidd, Evan; Serratrice, Ludovica – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2010
The present study investigated L1 transfer effects in L2 sentence processing and syntactic priming through comprehension in speakers of German and Italian. L1 and L2 speakers of both languages participated in a syntactic priming experiment that aimed to shift their preferred interpretation of ambiguous relative clause constructions. The results…

Pfenninger, Simone E. – Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching, 2011
This study examines evidence for the hypothesis (e.g., Muñoz, 2006) that an early starting age is not necessarily more beneficial to the successful learning of L2 inflectional morphology in strictly formal instructional settings. The present author investigated the quantitative and qualitative differences in the production and reception of 5…

Peer reviewedBecker, Claudia A. – Unterrichtspraxis/Teaching German, 2003
Documents benefits of free "associative written activities" on students' writing. Experimental students used an individual associative prewriting activity, whereas the control group was not required to free associate. Compositions of students in first semester, second semester, fourth semester, and sixth semester and beyond were evaluated…

Sugaya, Natsue; Shirai, Yasuhiro – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2007
It has been observed that there is a strong association between the inherent (lexical) aspect of verbs and the acquisition of tense-aspect morphology (the aspect hypothesis; Andersen & Shirai, 1994). To investigate why such an association is observed, this study examined the influence of inherent aspect and learners' first language (L1) on the…
