There is currently much interest in the role of prediction in language processing, both in L1
and L2. For language acquisition researchers, this has prompted debate on the role that …

We present a framework of second and additional language (L2/Ln) acquisition motivated by
recent work on socio‐indexical knowledge in first language (L1) processing. The distribution …

Abstract Language comprehension requires successfully navigating linguistic variability.
One hypothesis for how listeners manage variability is that they rapidly update their …

Native speakers show rapid adjustment of their processing strategies and preferences on
the basis of the structures they have recently encountered. The present study investigated …

This work provides evidence that Subject Island violation effects vanish if subject-embedded
gaps are made as frequent and pragmatically felicitous as non-island counterpart controls …

The extent to which language processing involves prediction of upcoming inputs remains a
question of ongoing debate. One important data point comes from who reported that an …

Previous research suggests that native speakers quickly adapt to the properties of the
language in the surrounding context. For instance, as they repeatedly read a structure that is …

Predictions allow for efficient human communication. To be efficient, listeners' predictions
need to be adapted to the communicative context. Here we show that during speech …

Listening to other people talk, we very quickly get used to their accent, word choice, or
specific meaning of phrases. It is less clear to what extent listeners and readers adapt to …

In this study, two event-related potential experiments were conducted to investigate whether
readers adapt their expectations to morphosyntactically (Experiment 1) or semantically …
