Direct linkSuzuki, Yuichi; Jeong, Hyeonjeong; Cui, Haining; Okamoto, Kiyo; Kawashima, Ryuta; Sugiura, Motoaki – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2023
In this study, neural representation of adult second language (L2) speakers' implicit grammatical knowledge was investigated. Advanced L2 speakers of Japanese living in Japan, as well as L1 Japanese speakers, performed a word-monitoring task (proposed as an implicit knowledge test) in the MRI scanner. Behavioral measures were obtained from…

Elgort, Irina; Beliaeva, Natalia; Boers, Frank – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2020
Access to definitions facilitates the learning of word meanings when novel words are encountered in reading. However, the memorial costs and benefits of inferring word meanings from context, compared to seeing definitions of unfamiliar words before reading, are not yet well understood. We conducted two experiments with adult L1 (English) and L2…

Kim, Jeong-eun; Cho, Yejin; Cho, Youngsun; Hong, Yeonjung; Kim, Seohyun; Nam, Hosung – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2020
This study examines the effects of asymmetrical mappings of L2 sounds to L1 sounds on real-time processing of L2 phonology. L1-Korean participants completed a self-paced listening (SPL) task paired with a picture verification (PV) task, in which an English sentence was presented word by word along with a picture that matched or mismatched the…

Benmamoun, Elabbas; Albirini, Abdulkafi – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2018
This study examines heritage speakers' knowledge of Standard Arabic (SA) and compares their patterns of SA acquisition to those of learners of SA as second/foreign language (L2). In addition, the study examines the influence of previously acquired language varieties, including Colloquial Arabic (QA), on SA acquisition. To this end, the study…

Conroy, Mark A.; Cupples, Linda – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2011
This study investigated sentence-processing strategies adopted by advanced nonnative speakers (NNSs) and native speakers (NSs) of English in the context of an English structure with which NNSs reportedly have an acquisition difficulty (e.g., Swan & Smith, 2001)--namely, modal perfect (MP). Participants read MP sentences such as "He could have…

Zyzik, Eve – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2006
This article examines alternating verbs (such as "quemar"(se) "to burn") in second language (L2) Spanish by considering the learnability problem from a sequence learning perspective (N. Ellis, 1996, 2002). In Spanish, verbs of the alternating class are obligatorily marked with the clitic "se" in their intransitive form. Errors of omission among…
