Most studies on bilingual language development focus on children's second language (L2). Here, we investigated first language (L1) development of Polish-English early migrant bilinguals in four domains: vocabulary, grammar, phonological processing, and discourse. We first compared Polish language skills between bilinguals and their Polish non-migrant monolingual peers, and then investigated the...

This is variable phenomenon in Spanish grammar studied meaningful choice based on cognitive conceptualization salience. conveys meaning duty, obligation, recommendation or convenience by which speaker accepts situation unavoidable.

Many attempts have been made to apply Natural Language Processing to requirements specifications. However, typical approaches rely on shallow parsing to identify object-oriented elements of the specifications (e.g. classes, attributes, and methods). As a result, the models produced are often incomplete, imprecise, and require manual revision and validation. In contrast, we propose a deep Natura...

Language learning is one of the most complicated feats that human beings accomplish. Any number of very real reasons exist as to why L2 learning presents tremendous challenges. However, instructed L2 learning has been further complicated by the fact that important elements of systematicity that exist in language have not been appropriately captured by the pedagogical grammars which underlie mod...

According to classical arguments, language learning is both facilitated and constrained by cognitive biases. These biases are reflected in linguistic typology-the distribution of linguistic patterns across the world's languages-and can be probed with artificial grammar experiments on child and adult learners. Beginning with a widely successful approach to typology (Optimality Theory), and adapt...
