  1. Costs and Benefits of Native Language Similarity for Non-native Word Learning.Viorica Marian, James Bartolotti, Aimee van den Berg & Sayuri Hayakawa - 2021 - Frontiers in Psychology 12.
    The present study examined the costs and benefits of native language similarity for non-native vocabulary learning. Because learning a second language is difficult, many learners start with easy words that look like their native language to jumpstart their vocabulary. However, this approach may not be the most effective strategy in the long-term, compared to introducing difficult L2 vocabulary early on. We examined how L1 orthographic typicality affects pattern learning of novel vocabulary by teaching English monolinguals either Englishlike or Non-Englishlike pseudowords (...)

  • Equal Opportunity Interference: Both L1 and L2 Influence L3 Morpho-Syntactic Processing.Nawras Abbas, Tamar Degani & Anat Prior - 2021 - Frontiers in Psychology 12.
    We investigated cross-language influences from the first and second languages in third language processing, to examine how order of acquisition and proficiency modulate the degree of cross-language influences, and whether these cross-language influences manifest differently in online and offline measures of L3 processing. The study focused on morpho-syntactic processing of English as an L3 among Arabic-Hebrew-English university student trilinguals. Importantly, both L1 and L2 of participants are typologically distant from L3, which allows overcoming confounds of previous research. Performance of trilinguals (...)
