Levelt, Roelofs, & Meyer, 1999) and some models of word recognition (e.g., Gaskell & Marslen-Wilson, 1997)). Connections between lexical features encode both the arbitrary mapping between syntactic/semantic and
Typically, high-similarity items shared a consonant cluster such as /fl/, /sl/, or /sp/; low-similarity items tended to have a vowel as the second phoneme or had a consonant cluster involving /r/; vowel space is different between Dutch and English, and these languages realize /r/ with...

This essay examines language change and linguistic creativity as revealed by remodelling, especially as a source for euphemisms and euphemistic dysphemisms and as a function of verbal play. Within the scope of this essay, there are predominantly two ways
adjectives, may also be dependent on context and on properties of the N (e.g. a “red apple” refers to the outside of the apple, while a “red grapefruit” refers to the inside of the grapefruit), suggesting a closer similarity between at least some intersective and subsective ...
pre-existing linguistic similarity of both locations should further increase the rate of diffusion. Several studies have provided evidence of the validity, at least in some contexts, of this demographically hierarchical model (e.g., Hernández-Campoy 2003; Kerswill 2003; Trudgill 1974, 1983). ...
The second group, aged between 22 and 24 years old, are English-major graduate students from the same university with either translation or interpretation as their major. They take classes with English as the primary language by both teachers and students for over 28 hours every week. They ...

The pseudohomophone test is whether the processing of a word target can be facilitated by a masked homophonic nonword prime independent of the visual similarity between them. The significance of the test is in respect to the hypothesized contributions of phonological and orthographic codes within ...
The effect of Dutch phonological awareness on English phonological awareness might also show that there is not only similarity between the languages, but also between the tasks. Once a child knows how to blend or segment words in the L1, it is easy to transfer that skill to words in the L...
