Among the most prevailing assumptions in science and society about the human reading
process is that sound and sound‐based phonology are critical to young readers. The child's …

Bimodal bilinguals, fluent in a signed and a spoken language, exhibit a unique form of
bilingualism because their two languages access distinct sensory-motor systems for …

A concise overview of key findings and ideas in sign language phonology and its
contributions to related fields, including historical linguistics, morphology, prosody, language …

Better understanding of the mechanisms underlying early reading skills can lead to
improved interventions. Hence, the purpose of this study was to examine multivariate …

In individuals who know more than one language, the languages are always active to some
degree. This has consequences for language processing, but bilinguals rarely make …

In an implicit phonological priming paradigm, deaf bimodal bilinguals made semantic
relatedness decisions for pairs of English words. Half of the semantically unrelated pairs had …

We exploit the phenomenon of cross-modal, cross-language activation to examine the
dynamics of language processing. Previous within-language work showed that seeing a …

Background and aims Children with good phonological awareness (PA) are often good
word readers. Here, we asked whether Swedish deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) children …

We used picture–word interference (PWI) to discover a) whether cross-language activation
at the lexical level can yield phonological priming effects when languages do not share …

Bilinguals, both hearing and deaf, activate multiple languages simultaneously even in
contexts that require only one language. To date, the point in development at which bilingual …
