Syntactic Constraints and Individual Differences in Native and Non-Native Processing of Wh-Movement
(Frontiers Media, 2016-04-22)There is a debate as to whether second language (L2) learners show qualitatively similar processing profiles as native speakers or whether L2 learners are restricted in their ability to use syntactic information during ... -
Effects of the Native Language on the Learning of Fundamental Frequency in Second-Language Speech Segmentation
(Frontiers Media, 2016-06-29)This study investigates whether the learning of prosodic cues to word boundaries in speech segmentation is more difficult if the native and second/foreign languages (L1 and L2) have similar (though non-identical) prosodies ... -
The recruitment of knowledge regarding plurality and compound formation during language comprehension
(John Benjamins Publishing, 2012-01-01)Compound formation has been a major focus of research and debate in mental lexicon research. In particular, it has been widely observed that compounds with a regular plural non-head are dispreferred, and a long line of ... -
Contingent categorization in speech perception
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)The speech signal is notoriously variable, with the same phoneme realized differently depending on factors like talker and phonetic context. Variance in the speech signal has led to a proliferation of theories of how ... -
Speakers of tonal and non-tonal Korean dialects use different cue weightings in the perception of the three-way laryngeal stop contrast
(Elsevier, 2013-03)The current study investigated the perception of the three-way distinction among Korean voiceless stops in non-tonal Seoul and tonal Kyungsang Korean. The question addressed is whether listeners from these two dialects ... -
Electrophysiological evidence for the morpheme-based combinatoric processing of English compounds
(Taylor and Francis, 2014)The extent to which the processing of compounds (e.g., “catfish”) makes recourse to morphological-level representations remains a matter of debate. Moreover, positing a morpheme-level route to complex word recognition ... -
Production and perception of Korean and English word-level prominence by Korean speakers
(University of Kansas, 2015-08-31)Prominence refers to the relative emphasis that may be given to a syllable in a word (word-level prominence) or to one or more words in a phrase (phrase-level prominence). Korean has been claimed to have both word-level ... -
Distinct neural correlates for pragmatic and semantic meaning processing: An event-related potential investigation of scalar implicature processing using picture-sentence verification
(Elsevier, 2012-10-26)The present study examines the brain-level representation and composition of meaning in scalar quantifiers (e.g., some), which have both a semantic meaning (at least one) and a pragmatic meaning (not all). We adopted a ... -
Pragmatic inferences modulate N400 during sentence comprehension: evidence from picture-sentence verification
(Elsevier, 2013-02-08)The present study examines the online realization of pragmatic meaning using event-related potentials (ERPs). Participants read sentences including the English quantifier some, which has both a semantic meaning (at least ... -
