2026 Sound communities: A quantitative proposal for studying bilingual speech Journal of Second Language Pronunciation 12:1, pp. 4–32 | Article
Bilingualism researchers have intensively studied how learning and using multiple languages affects all levels of linguistic structure. In this strand, examining diversity in the bilingual experience and the extent to which variables like language dominance regulate crosslinguistic interaction… read more
2025 A tutorial on generalised additive mixed effects models for bilingualism research Advanced Quantitative Methods in Bi-/Multilingualism, Pliatsikas, Christos, George Pontikas and Ian Cunnings (eds.), pp. 429–452 | Article
While recent years have seen a shift towards random effects modelling, particularly in areas of linguistics in which nested structure is the norm (e.g., trial repetitions nested within participants), an over-reliance on standard linear modelling prevails, particularly in the cases of dynamic… read more
2021 Literal is not always easier: Literal and default translation, cognitive effort, and comparable corpora Translation, Cognition & Behavior 4:1, pp. 98–123 | Article
“Literal translation” is a popular construct in Translation Studies. Research from computational approaches has consistently shown that non-literal translations, i.e., renderings semantically and syntactically different or not close to the source text, are more difficult or effortful to produce… read more
2018 Suprasegmental information cues morphological anticipation during L1/L2 lexical access Journal of Second Language Studies 1:1, pp. 31–59 | Article
We use visual-world eye-tracking and gating methods to investigate whether Spanish monolinguals and English late learners of Spanish use prosodic cues (lexical stress) to anticipate morphological information (suffixes) during spoken word recognition, and if they do, whether L2 proficiency and… read more
2017 Language choice and accommodation: Casual encounters in San Ysidro and Nogales Spanish in Context 14:1, pp. 78–98 | Article
The present study investigates language choice in two bilingual speech communities in the United States: Nogales, AZ and San Ysidro, CA. Ethnically distinct fieldworkers approached members of these two communities under the guise of being lost tourists in order to engage in casual speech… read more
