The chapter will review the current views on how words are represented and accessed in
the mental lexicon and by nonnative (L2) speakers. It will focus on such aspects of word …

In the globalized world we live in, it is increasingly common for people to speak more than
one language. Although research in psychology has been widely interested in the study of …

The present study aims to measure the effects of the teaching of second language (L2)
phonological forms on L2 receptive vocabulary learning. Two teaching methods were …

In this paper, we follow up on previous findings concerning first language (L1) perceptual
attrition to examine the role of phoneme frequency in influencing variation across L1 …

The study explores the degree to which readers can use their previous linguistic knowledge,
which goes beyond the immediate evidence in the input, to create mental representations of …

In two eye-tracking experiments, we investigated how aspects of form and meaning
influence the retention of grammatical information. Native (N= 64) and non-native (N= 63) …

This study follows the footsteps of Jonathan Grainger and colleagues by investigating

Using a priming paradigm, we investigated the processing of overtly identical verb forms
with different sets of morphosyntactic features in L1 and L2 German. We found that more …

In this paper, we present a computational approach to bilingual speakers' non-native (L2)
lexical-semantic representations. Specifically, based on detailed analyses of the error …
