• Monolingual comparative normativity in bilingualism research is out of “<i>control</i>”: Arguments and alternatives

  Applied Psycholinguistics · 2022 · 148 citations

  Senior authorCorresponding

  Abstract Herein, we contextualize, problematize, and offer some insights for moving beyond the problem of monolingual comparative normativity in (psycho) linguistic research on bilingualism. We argue that, in the vast majority of cases, juxtaposing (functional) monolinguals to bilinguals fails to offer what the comparison is supposedly intended to do: meet the standards of empirical control in line with the scientific method. Instead, the default nature of monolingual comparative normativity has…

• Learner Corpus Research Meets Second Language Acquisition

  Cambridge University Press eBooks · 2020 · 103 citations

  Advances in Learner Corpus Research (LCR) and Second Language Acquisition (SLA) have brought these two fast-moving fields significantly closer in recent years. This volume brings together contributions from internationally recognized experts in both LCR and SLA to provide an innovative, cross-collaborative examination of how both areas can provide rich insights for the other. Chapters present recent advances in LCR and illustrate in a clear and accessible style how these can be exploited for the…

• Does race impact speech perception? An account of accented speech in two different multilingual locales

  Cognitive Research Principles and Implications · 2022-01-28 · 51 citations

  articleOpen access

  Upon hearing someone's speech, a listener can access information such as the speaker's age, gender identity, socioeconomic status, and their linguistic background. However, an open question is whether living in different locales modulates how listeners use these factors to assess speakers' speech. Here, an audio-visual test was used to measure whether listeners' accentedness judgments and intelligibility (i.e., speech perception) can be modulated depending on racial information in faces that the…

• The Multilingual Picture Database

  Scientific Data · 2022-07-21 · 31 citations

  articleOpen access

  The growing interdisciplinary research field of psycholinguistics is in constant need of new and up-to-date tools which will allow researchers to answer complex questions, but also expand on languages other than English, which dominates the field. One type of such tools are picture datasets which provide naming norms for everyday objects. However, existing databases tend to be small in terms of the number of items they include, and have also been normed in a limited number of languages, despite…

• Transfer five ways: applications of multiple distinctive collexeme analysis to the dative alternation in Mandarin Chinese

  Corpus Linguistics and Linguistic Theory · 2024-05-25 · 6 citations

  articleOpen accessSenior author

  Abstract The dative alternation has been extensively studied in the world’s languages, and the meanings of the verbs participating in the alternation have been shown to play a key role in determining its argument realization options. The present paper presents a multiple distinctive collexeme analysis approach to the dative alternation in Mandarin Chinese, which involves a choice of one of five functionally similar alternants, and it does so by also discussing several ways to improve how this ha…
