Recent event-related potential (ERP) studies in language comprehension converge in
finding anticipatory negativities preceding words or word segments that can be pre-activated …

The human brain receives massive amounts of information every minute, and working
memory limits how much data can be computed in real time. The brain selects what is …

Swedish lexical word accents have been repeatedly said to have a low functional load. Even
so, the language has kept these tones ever since they emerged probably over a thousand …

Existing behavioral, neuropsychological and functional neuroimaging data suggest that at
least two major cognitive strategies are used for new word learning: fast map** (FM) via …

A corpus study and a combined behavioural and neurophysiological study tested how
phonetic and phonological features of the Danish creaky voice feature 'stød'influence …

Native speakers use suprasegmental information to predict words, but less is known about
segmental information. Moreover, anticipatory studies with non-native speakers are scarce …

The human brain tries to process information as efficiently as possible through mechanisms
like prediction. Native speakers predict linguistic information extensively, but L2 learners …

We investigated the role of cue weighting, second language (L2) proficiency, and L2 daily
exposure in L2 learning of suprasegmentals different from the first language (L1), using eye …

Using a concurrent ERP/fMRI paradigm, we investigated how listeners take advantage of
morphologically relevant tonal information at the beginning of words to predict and pre …

We use visual-world eye-tracking and gating methods to investigate whether Spanish
monolinguals and English late learners of Spanish use prosodic cues (lexical stress) to …
