This study investigates referential choice in the narrative discourse of people with aphasia (PwA) and typical speakers (TS) by observing reference in general and depending on the potential ambiguity of the situation (characters of the same or different gender) and referential functions (introduction, maintenance, and reintroduction of characters). We found no group differences in the number of nouns and pronouns produced. However, PwA showed an overall tendency toward a higher pronoun-to-noun ratio in both situations with characters of the same or different gender. Both groups had a lower pronoun-to-noun ratio when introducing characters and a higher pronoun-to-noun ratio when maintaining characters, with TS having an even higher pronoun-to-noun ratio when referring to characters of different genders. Nevertheless, when reintroducing characters of the same gender, PwA had a higher pronoun-to-noun ratio, which led to ambiguous reference. These findings contribute to the limited research on referential choice in PwA, suggesting that PwA are sensitive to the characteristics of discourse but have a limited ability to consider listeners’ knowledge.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47955,"journal":{"name":"Lingua","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139675757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, increasing scientific attention has more recently been paid to multiple language learning, which poses new challenges in this area of linguistic-cognitive research. This article first discusses a holistic and dynamic view of multilingual development and portrays MeLA as an emergent property of multilingual systems that varies in quality for multilinguals. Thereafter, a longitudinal study investigates the development of MeLA in three languages among adolescent learners in South Tyrol. For this purpose, a metalinguistic awareness test battery was specifically tailored to the trilingual situation. Subsequently, the effects of MeLA on decoding a new language system unknown to the learners were explored. The results from Part I of the study show that most learners developed MeLA skills that improved to varying degrees within the testing period. In addition, significant positive correlations were found between the MeLA test results for most participants. Analysing Part II of the study showed that, on average, participants with higher MeLA test scores could more frequently activate their prior linguistic knowledge, and they exhibited higher levels of awareness when decoding the new language system than did participants with lower MeLA scores. These findings show the interconnectedness of metacognitive skills and confirm the catalytic role of MeLA in multilingual systems, which calls for more cross-curricular multilingual teaching approaches that promote MeLA, particularly in multilingual regions such as South Tyrol.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47955,"journal":{"name":"Lingua","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S002438412400007X/pdfft?md5=b81191e5166bf608044e73dfe550df2f&pid=1-s2.0-S002438412400007X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139675756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In so doing, it describes the nature and extent of linguistic variation that spans a broad sociolinguistic spectrum. The empirical basis of the study targets two domains of language: morpho-syntax (the English present perfect) and discourse pragmatics (quotative marking). The stratification of the informants into English-dominant, Hindi-dominant and bilingual is diagnostic of the sociolinguistic settings in which varieties in contact have been acquired (predominantly English, predominantly Hindi or mixed). The results indicate that superstratal influence is most noticeable in the speech of English-dominant individuals. In contrast, Hindi-dominant and bilingual speakers demonstrate substrate-induced features in their speech. The universal learning strategies of simplification are limited to the linguistic repertoires of the individuals with predominantly Hindi background. Crucially, bilingual speakers appear to engage in the construction of creative coinages and lead an incipient language change in the domain of quotative marking. Against this backdrop, the study shows that bilingualism is a primary sociocognitive condition underpinning speakers’ linguistic creativity and its major prerequisite. The study also pinpoints the importance of sociolinguistic differentiation through meticulous ethnographic fieldwork in the study of linguistic variation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47955,"journal":{"name":"Lingua","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139100639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
