Developmental Psycholinguistics: On-line methods in children’s language processing
Edited by Irina A. Sekerina, Eva M. Fernández and Harald Clahsen
How do infants and young children coordinate information in real time to arrive at sentence meaning from the words and structure of the sentence and from the nonlinguistic context? This volume introduces readers to an emerging field of research, experimental developmental psycholinguistics, and to… read more[Language Acquisition and Language Disorders, 44] 2008. xviii, 190 pp.
Generative Perspectives on Language Acquisition: Empirical findings, theoretical considerations and crosslinguistic comparisons
Edited by Harald Clahsen
Against the background of the proliferation of the various subdisciplines of language acquisition research over the past decades, this volume aims to enhance the existing but somewhat fragile links between language acquisition and theoretical linguistics. With regard to previous research, the book… read more[Language Acquisition and Language Disorders, 14] 1996. xxvii, 499 pp.
Child Language and Developmental Dysphasia: Linguistic studies of the acquisition of German
Harald Clahsen
The subject of this two part work is the acquisition of language structure in which the development of syntax and morphology is examined by investigations on children without language problems and on children with developmental dysphasia. The author uses a comparative acquisition study to provide… read more[Studies in Speech Pathology and Clinical Linguistics, 2] 1991. x, 350 pp.
Normale und gestörte Kindersprache
Harald Clahsen
Clahsen geht es in seinem neuen Buch um eine prazise empirische Theorie des kindlichen Spracherwerbs. Er argumentiert fur einige zentrale Bestandteile einer solchen Theorie, die groîenteils im Kontext linguistischer Theoriebildung stehen. Fur diesen Zweck werden vergleichende… read more[Not in series, 33] 1988. ix, 340 pp.
2020 Variability and its limits in bilingual word recognition: A morphological priming study The Mental Lexicon 15:2, pp. 295–329 | Article
This study examines the processing of morphologically complex words focusing on how morphological (in addition to orthographic and semantic) factors affect bilingual word recognition. We report findings from a large experimental study with groups of bilingual (Turkish/German) speakers using the… read more
2019 Chapter 8. Investigating grammatical processing in bilinguals: The case of morphological priming Bilingualism, Executive Function, and Beyond: Questions and insights, Sekerina, Irina A., Lauren Spradlin and Virginia Valian (eds.), pp. 117–130 | Chapter
In this article we discuss methods for investigating grammatical processing in bilinguals. We will present a methodological approach that relies on: (i) linguistic theory (in our case, morphology) for the construction of experimental materials; (ii) a design that allows for direct… read more
2018 Variability and consistency in late bilinguals’ morphology: An ERP production study The Mental Lexicon 13:2, pp. 186–214 | Article
Speaking a late-learned second language (L2) is supposed to yield more variable and less consistent output than speaking one’s first language (L1), particularly with respect to reliably adhering to grammatical morphology. The current study investigates both internal processes involved in… read more
2017 Morphological processing in old-age bilinguals Bilingualism: A framework for understanding the mental lexicon, Libben, Maya, Mira Goral and Gary Libben † (eds.), pp. 217–248 | Chapter
Language processing in older adults has been the subject of much recent research. While previous research on language processing in bilingual older adults has focused on vocabulary and lexical access, very little is known about potential effects of aging on grammar in bilinguals. The current study… read more
2017 Accessing morphosyntactic information is preserved at old age, except for irregulars The Mental Lexicon 12:3, pp. 342–372 | Article
The current study examined morphological priming in older individuals using two complex phenomena of German inflection. Study 1 examined inflected adjectives which encode multiple morphosyntactic features using regular affixes. Study 2 targeted inflected verb forms which also encode multiple… read more
2016 Accessing Morphosyntax in L1 and L2 Word Recognition: A Priming Study of Inflected German Adjectives The Mental Lexicon 11:1, pp. 26–54 | Article
In fusional languages, inflectional affixes may encode multiple morphosyntactic features such as case, number, and gender. To determine how these features are accessed during both native (L1) and non-native (L2) word recognition, the present study compares the results from a masked visual priming… read more
2016 Investigating grammatical processing in bilinguals: The case of morphological priming Bilingualism and Executive Function: An interdisciplinary approach, Sekerina, Irina A. and Lauren Spradlin (eds.), pp. 685–698 | Article
In this article we discuss methods for investigating grammatical processing in bilinguals. We will present a methodological approach that relies on: (i) linguistic theory (in our case, morphology) for the construction of experimental materials; (ii) a design that allows for direct… read more
2016 Editorial Linguistic Perspectives on Morphological Processing, Clahsen, Harald, Vera Heyer and Jana Reifegerste (eds.), pp. 161–163 | Article
2015 Morphology constrains native and non-native word formation in different ways: Evidence from plurals inside compounds The Mental Lexicon 10:1, pp. 53–87 | Article
The role of morphological and syntactic information in non-native second language (L2) comprehension is controversial. Some have argued that late bilinguals rapidly integrate grammatical cues with other information sources during reading or listening in the same way as native speakers. Others… read more
2012 The mental representation of derived words: An experimental study of –sa and –mi nominals in Japanese The Mental Lexicon 7:2, pp. 147–182 | Article
Deadjectival nominals with –sa and –mi in Japanese are both phonologically transparent and morphologically decomposable. However, whilst –sa essentially serves to form nouns out of adjectives, –mi forms function as semantic labels with specific meanings. We examined –sa and –mi nominals in three… read more
2010 Constraints on L2 learners’ processing of wh-dependencies: Evidence from eye movements Research in Second Language Processing and Parsing, VanPatten, Bill and Jill Jegerski (eds.), pp. 87–110 | Article
Using the eye-movement monitoring technique, the present study examined whether wh-dependency formation is sensitive to island constraints in second language (L2) sentence comprehension, and whether the presence of an intervening relative clause island has any effects on learners’ ability to… read more
2009 Inflection in Williams Syndrome: The Perfective Past Tense in Greek The Mental Lexicon 4:2, pp. 215–238 | Article
This study presents experimental results from elicited production and judgment tasks examining perfective past-tense forms of Greek in seven individuals with Williams Syndrome (WS) in comparison to three age groups of typically-developing children. We found that the WS group relied more on the… read more
2008 Behavioral methods for investigating morphological and syntactic processing in children Developmental Psycholinguistics: On-line methods in children’s language processing, Sekerina, Irina A., Eva M. Fernández and Harald Clahsen (eds.), pp. 1–27 | Article
While most first language acquisition research to date has focused on the development of children’s linguistic competence, a number of research teams have also investigated the mechanisms children employ to process sentence-level and word-level information in real time, by applying experimental… read more
2008 The time-course of morphological constraints: A study of plurals inside derived words The Mental Lexicon 3:2, pp. 149–175 | Article
The avoidance of regular but not irregular plurals inside compounds (e.g., *rats eater vs. mice eater) has been one of the most widely studied morphological phenomena in the psycholinguistics literature. To examine whether the constraints that are responsible for this contrast have any general… read more
