Second language processing in reading and translation
… of this dissertation is to investigate the processing mechanisms of non-native English speakers at both the sentence level and the morphological level, addressing the issue of whether adult second language (L2) learners qualitatively differ from native speakers in processing linguistic …

The influence of proficiency and age of acquisition on second language processing: An fMRI study of Mandarin-English bilinguals
Research investigating the neural correlates of second language (L2) processing has usually studied age of acquisition (AoA) and proficiency separately. Presently, we examined both in parallel, treated as continuous variables. We used fMRI to study neural activity for L2 processing in adult native …

The role of first and second language speech rhythm in syntactic ambiguity processing and musical rhythmic aptitude
… segmentation device during syntactic ambiguity processing, possible limitations on its use, i.e., in the context of second language processing, and its transferability as cognitive skill to the music domain.

The role of the native language in second-language syntactic processing
… in how properties of a reader’s first language (L1) have an influence on syntactic processing in a second language (L2). While the Competition Model (Bates & MacWhinney, 1982, 1987, 1989, MacWhinney, 1997) predicts that syntactic properties of the L1 can have an influence on L2 …

Processing of canonical and scrambled word orders in native and non-native Korean
… present study aims to investigate the nature of processing mechanisms in adult first-language (L1) and second-language (L2) sentence processing, specifically, whether adult L2 learners are capable of developing native-like sentence processing strategies. By testing a head-final language (Korean) …

Grammatical constraints in second language sentence processing
… morpho-syntactic information during online processing of L2 sentences, leading to an ongoing debate about how they represent and process structural information in sentence processing. Some researchers propose that L2 sentence processing is qualitatively different from L1 sentence processing …

Predictors of Second Language Reading Span
<p>There are obvious differences between a second language (L2) and a native language (L1). When processing an L2, a person is slower and prone to more errors than when processing an L1. However, the reasons for these differences are not clearly understood. A possible explanation is a limitation in …
