This study investigated how prosody affects the resolution of prepositional phrase (PP) attachment ambiguity, particularly when combined with visual contextual cues, and compared the performance by native English speakers and Chinese learners of English. Participants' attachment preferences alongside their reaction time from both correct and incorrect responses were analyzed to assess differences in L1 and L2 sentence processing. The results reveal that native participants were able to make effective use of prosodic information to resolve PP-attachment ambiguity, even when the accompanying visual context biased a noun phrase attachment. In contrast, the Chinese L2 learners showed a strong and consistent preference for the verb phrase attachment. This suggests that their sentence processing relied more heavily on the structure-based parsing strategies. These contrasting patterns between L1 and L2 speakers highlight the challenges L2 learners have in coordinating multiple information sources, such as prosody and visual context, during language comprehension.","PeriodicalId":47689,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psycholinguistic Research","volume":"55 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148654770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there are mixed findings regarding the size of the effect of morphological awareness to reading skills while there is limited research on the relationship between compounding morphological awareness and reading. In this study we aimed to examine the unique contribution of compounding morphological awareness and inflectional morphological awareness to reading in Greek language. One hundred and twenty children in Grade 1 and one hundred and twenty-six children in Grade 3 were assessed on measures of phonological awereness, vocabulary, decoding, reading comprehension, inflectional morphological awareness and compounding morphological awareness. Results of hierarchical regression analyses showed that compounding morphological awareness made significant consistent contributions to word reading in Grade 1 and in Grade 3 when phonological awareness and vocabulary were accounted for but not when we controlled for inflectional morphological awareness, phonological awareness, and vocabulary. However, only in Grade 3 compounding morphological awareness remained a significant predictor of reading comprehension even after controlling for inflectional morphological awareness, word reading, for but not when we controlled for inflectional morphological awareness, phonological, and vocabulary. The semantic transparency of compounds appeared to affect the relation between compounding morphological awareness and reading comprehension.","PeriodicalId":47689,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psycholinguistic Research","volume":"55 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148654759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Existing research has primarily examined how task-related factors shape L2 alignment, whereas much less is known about whether learner-related individual differences are associated with variation in alignment and with its subsequent learning benefits. This study examined whether learners' implicit capacity for adaptation was associated with the magnitude of L2 alignment and writing development in a comparative continuation task. Participants completed a baseline writing task, a continuation task, two priming-based measures of implicit capacity for adaptation (i.e., L1 lexical priming and L1 syntactic priming), and LLAMA_D as a supplementary measure of implicit phonological sensitivity. Results showed that sensitivity to L1 lexical priming was positively correlated with the magnitude of L2 lexical alignment, and sensitivity to L1 syntactic priming was positively correlated with the magnitude of L2 syntactic alignment. Furthermore, sensitivity to L1 syntactic priming positively predicted gains in overall L2 writing quality, accuracy, and fluency, whereas sensitivity to L1 lexical priming positively predicted gains in fluency alone; LLAMA_D was a positive predictor and sensitivity to L1 syntactic priming a negative predictor of gains in syntactic complexity. These findings highlight the role of implicit capacity for adaptation in L2 alignment and writing development, shedding new light upon individual differences in L2 learning.","PeriodicalId":47689,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psycholinguistic Research","volume":"55 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148654729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The L3 experience was not significantly correlated with any of the cognitive factors. The cognitive factors did not significantly contribute beyond L3 experience in explaining variance in L3 reading and listening comprehension.

Grounded in embodied cognition theory, this study investigates how object-directed sensorimotor features shape the conceptual preparation stage underlying concept selection. In Experiment 1, participants selected concepts from two dimensions: graspability (graspable vs. non-graspable) and semantic category (artificial vs. natural). This was done under three levels of response competition. Results showed a robust processing advantage for graspable objects over non-graspable ones across all tasks. More importantly, a systematic and pervasive advantage for artificial objects over natural ones was also found specifically in the control and low-choice task conditions. Experiment 2, which also employed the concept selection paradigm, examined graspable objects only, distinguishing between precision and power grips. Results revealed that precision-grip objects were selected faster than power-grip objects, an advantage that was most pronounced in the low-choice condition. Notably, this precision motor facilitation was reliable for both artificial and natural objects. Moreover, the advantage for artificial objects over natural objects remained significant and was independent of the grip-type effect. These findings demonstrate that motor representations are automatically and robustly activated during conceptual preparation. Their facilitatory influence is characterized by a consistent categorical advantage for artifacts and an additive benefit from fine-grained motor parameters, with the expression of these effects being dynamically calibrated, but not abolished, by task-imposed cognitive demands. This study underscores the hierarchical and context-sensitive interplay between sensorimotor and semantic systems in concept selection during spoken language production.","PeriodicalId":47689,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psycholinguistic Research","volume":"55 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148346886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Employing the printed-word paradigm, this study presented native Mandarin speakers with a visual display comprising a target word (e.g., \"\" /chai2huo3/, \"firewood\"), a same-tone competitor (e.g., \"\" /cha2dao4/, \"tea ceremony\"), a different-tone competitor (e.g., \"\" /cha1kong3/, \"socket\"), and two distractors. Simultaneously, participants listened to an auditory target word. Critically, the phonological competitors shared partial segmental information with the spoken target words. Participants were then required to select the visual target word in the visual display. Results revealed substantial phonological competition effects in both the same-tone and different-tone conditions, with the former exhibiting a more pronounced effect. These results elucidate that the role of lexical tone partially depends on the availability of segmental information. Even in cases where certain segments are accessible, lexical tone can still influence the activation degree of the lexical candidate based on the tonal similarity, where the more similar candidates are activated to a higher degree than the less similar ones.","PeriodicalId":47689,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psycholinguistic Research","volume":"55 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148346896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
