This article reviews several recent studies suggesting that—contrary to a widespread belief—
adult monolingual native speakers of the same language do not share the same mental …

Sentence comprehension requires that the comprehender work out who did what to whom.
This process has been characterized as retrieval from memory. This review summarizes the …

A work that reveals the profound links between the evolution, acquisition, and processing of
language, and proposes a new integrative framework for the language sciences. Language …

Although statistical learning and language have been assumed to be intertwined, this
theoretical presupposition has rarely been tested empirically. The present study investigates …

This article investigates whether and how L2 sentence processing is affected by memory
constraints that force serial parsing. Monitoring eye movements, we test effects of working …

Abstract Words that are more surprising given context take longer to process. However, no
incremental parsing algorithm has been shown to directly predict this phenomenon. In this …

According to usage-based models, linguistic knowledge is built up from experience using
domain-general cognitive abilities. Since speakers differ in general cognitive abilities and in …

This study compares the performance of native speakers and adult second language (L2)
learners on tasks tapping proficiency in grammar, vocabulary, and collocations. In addition …

This study investigates whether and how individual differences modulate the adult second
language (L2) processing of syntactic ambiguities. In a linear mixed regression analysis, we …

It is often assumed that language is supported by domain-specific neural mechanisms, in
part based on neuropsychological data from aphasia. If, however, language relies on …
