This paper describes a model of human language processing (HLP) which is incremental and interactive, in concert with prevailing psycholinguistic evidence. To achieve this, the model combines an incremental, serial, pseudo-deterministic processing mechanism, which relies on a non-monotonic mechanism of context accommodation, with an interactive mechanism that uses all available information in p...

The use of multilevel modeling is presented as an alternative to separate item and subject ANOVAs (F1 x F2) in psycholinguistic research. Multilevel modeling is commonly utilized to model variability arising from the nesting of lower level observations within higher level units (e.g., students within schools, repeated measures within individuals). However, multilevel models can also be used whe...

compute thematic fit for pairs relying only on distributional information (no information about semantic types) compare thematic fit differences across conditions and processing cost differences (high processing cost → low thematic fit, corresponding to 1-thematic fit in the model) verify if the computational model yields the same main effects and pairwise differences reported by t...

Introspective verbal reports have been incorporated into many studies on L2 reading and writing. In contrary, they are less utilised in listening speaking. The objective of this review is to describe the use recent speech production. were identified through a comprehensive search across two (2) online databases: Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) database Language Speech (LAS) journa...

This action research examines the concept of Willingness to Communicate (WTC) in a second language acquisition context. The researcher investigated the contributors of WTC in a foreign language classroom setting. Therefore, a multiple assignments method and sequence was applied. Participants of this study were students who matriculated in a United States (U.S.) undergraduate program, studying G...
