DOI: 10.1007/s10936-018-9581-8
Abstract: This study investigated whether Chinese–Korean bilinguals can use structure-based information to interpret Korean sentences containing floating numeral quantifiers during online processing. A numeral quantifier in Korean can be stranded from its modified noun through scrambling… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jneuroling.2020.100937
Abstract: Abstract The experience of speaking two languages, particularly the age of second language acquisition (L2AoA), has been robustly associated with differences in metrics indicative of white matter structure. However, bilingual language experience is complex, described… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2020.107390
Abstract: The accumulating evidence suggests that prior usage of a second language (L2) leads to processing costs on the subsequent production of a native language (L1). However, it is unclear mechanism underlies this effect. It has… read more here.
