Metalinguistic awareness and literacy among semitic-bilingual learners: a cross-language perspective
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Reading and Writing"
DOI: 10.1007/s11145-018-9850-9
Abstract: In the current study we examined three questions. First: How does emergent bilingualism affect the development of metalinguistic awareness in kindergarten and first grade? We compared the changes in scores of tests of phonological awareness… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.actpsy.2019.102944
Abstract: Holistic processing, a hallmark of face processing, has been shown for written words, signaled by the word composite effect. Fluent readers find it harder to focus on one half of a written word (e.g., the… read more here.

What animals can teach us about human language: the phonological continuity hypothesis

DOI: 10.1016/j.cobeha.2018.01.014
Abstract: Progress in linking between the disparate levels of cognitive description and neural implementation requires explicit, testable, computationally based hypotheses. One such hypothesis is the dendrophilia hypothesis, which suggests that human syntactic abilities rely on our… read more here.

The evolution of combinatorial structure in language
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences"
DOI: 10.1016/j.cobeha.2018.04.011
Abstract: Human language shows combinatoriality in its phonology (both in speech and in sign language) and its grammar, while both types appear to be absent in the communication systems of our closest evolutionary relatives. In this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2020.09.017
Abstract: A rare case of a deaf signer undergoing awake craniotomy has revealed that sensorimotor cortex is functionally organized for signing. Electrocorticography recordings indicated neural tuning to linguistically-relevant handshapes and body locations and distinct neural activity… read more here.

Neuroimaging evidence for sensitivity to orthography-to-phonology conversion in native readers and foreign learners of Chinese

DOI: 10.1016/j.jneuroling.2018.07.002
Abstract: Abstract Through recent neuroimaging research into brain mechanisms of proficient reading and literacy acquisition in different languages, a common neural network supporting reading has been identified in native readers across various writing systems. However, whether… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.01.042
Abstract: Abstract Word reading has been found to be associated with different neural networks in different languages, with greater involvement of the lexical pathway for opaque languages and greater invovlement of the sub‐lexical pathway for transparent… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2017.02.025
Abstract: ABSTRACT The neural processes for action and language activate shared brain regions including the left inferior frontal, parietal and temporal‐occipital cortices. However, it still remains unclear how action and language are related and what neural… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2018.07.010
Abstract: ABSTRACT People who are born deaf often have difficulty learning to read. Recently, several studies have examined the neural substrates involved in reading in deaf people and found a left lateralized reading system similar to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s014271642300019x
Abstract: The present longitudinal study aimed to explore the connections between different linguistic profiles at kindergarten and reading achievements at first grade. These profiles are based on the two-dimensional model (Bishop & Snowling, 2004), which associates… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0142716423000279
Abstract: The relationship between the ways in which words are pronounced and spelled has been shown to affect spoken word processing, and a consistent relationship between pronunciation and spelling has been reported as a possible cause… read more here.
