Sentence predictability and lexical factors during L2 reading
Theoretical accounts of second language (L2) reading differ in whether sentence context compensates for inefficiencies in L2 lexical processing (Compensatory Processing Hypothesis) or is constrained by them (Lexical Bottleneck Hypothesis). This eye-tracking study tested these competing predictions in 80 Chinese learners of English by examining how contextual predictability interacts with word frequency and orthographic neighbourhood size, and whe…
Preparation wears off anticipation
Aims and objectives: This study investigates the influence of preparation time, operationalized as the cue-to-stimulus interval (CSI), on the reversed language dominance effect, a marker of proactive bilingual language control. In addition, the study further explores the role of language proficiency in modulating this influence. Methodology: Two groups of Chinese-English bilinguals, with high- and low-proficiency levels, completed a picture-namin…

A Double-Edged Sword
Prior studies have investigated the relationship between work stressors and career sustainability. However, there is currently a lack of information on this relationship’s underlying mechanisms and boundaries. Delving into the complexities of work stressors and their influence on career sustainability, this research employs the job demands-resources model to examine the intricate relationship. This study used hierarchical regression analysis and …
Impact of drink-driving penalty enhancement policies on road traffic injury deaths among vulnerable road users in Shandong Province
Road traffic injuries (RTIs) rank as the seventh leading cause of death in China, with over 70% of these fatalities involving vulnerable road users (VRUs). In 2011, the Chinese government revised and implemented a new road traffic safety law, imposing harsher penalties for drink-driving. This study examined the trends in mortality rates from RTIs among VRUs in Shandong Province from 2006 to 2023. It also evaluated the impact of the stricter drunk…
Difference in cognitive control ability between trilinguals and bilinguals
Language control in auditory bilingual comprehension
In language production, inhibitory control is assumed to be the primary mechanism responsible for successful bilingual processing. To convey messages in one language, bilinguals must inhibit the unintended language. However, it remains unclear whether the same mechanism works in bilingual comprehension. Following up and expanding on Declerck and Philipp (2018, ‘Is inhibition implemented during bilingual production and comprehension? n –2 language…

Evaluation of the Multilingual Naming Test (Mint) as a quick and practical proxy for language proficiency
The present study compares the performance of two quick lexical tests, the Multilingual Naming Test (MINT) and the Lexical Test for Advanced Learners of English (LexTALE), to evaluate their suitability to serve as proxies for English proficiency in second language learners. Specifically, it investigates how well these tests’ results align with those of the Quick Placement Test (QPT), an objective placement test employed in previous validations of…
The effect of cognitive load on code-switching
Aims and objectives: This study explores the effect of cognitive load on code-switching (CS), by examining whether an increase in cognitive load can lead to a different amount and/or pattern of CS use, and whether there is an interplay between the effect of cognitive load and the effect of social factors (i.e., language and use, and attitudes towards CS). Methodology: Thirty-one Chinese-English bilinguals participated in a picture recall experime…
Expanding outpatient benefits package can reduce diabetes-related avoidable hospitalizations

Methods A database of hospital discharge from 2015 to 2017 in City Z was used. All diabetic inpatient cases enrolled in Urban Employee Basic Medical Insurance were selected as the intervention group, and diabetic inpatient cases enrolled in Urban and…
Is the digit effect a cognate effect? Digits (still) differ from pictures in non-phonologically mediated language switching
Language control in bilinguals is often investigated with the language switching paradigm. Switch costs reflect the ease/difficulty of applying this control mechanism. The type of stimuli employed in the experiments may influence switch costs. To date, only one study has compared digit vs picture processing, reporting reduced switch costs for digits (Declerck, Koch & Philipp, 2012). This result was adjudicated to phonological overlap between the …
Where and how to cool through blue infrastructure? Large lake groups to ameliorate urban overheating in a typical inland multi-lake megacity
The LexTale as a measure of L2 global proficiency
The role of proficiency is widely discussed in multilingual language acquisition research, and yet, there is little consensus as to how one should operationalize it in our empirical investigations. The present study assesses the validity of the LexTALE (Lemhöfer & Broersma, 2012) as a ‘quick and valid’ measure of global proficiency. We first provide an overview review of how the LexTALE has been used since its publication, showing that although t…
Attention
This paper presents the results of a retrospective study that investigates the cognitive effects of learning a foreign language in late adulthood. The learner group, consisting of 21 L1 Chinese speakers who have been learning to read Arabic for 2 years and 4 months, were compared to the matched group on their performance on a series of cognitive tasks that tap into working memory, processing speed, reasoning, conflict monitoring, and attention. T…

(Standard) language ideology and regional Putonghua in Chinese social media
Despite having numerous Chinese language varieties and non-Chinese ethnic minority languages, China is often considered a monolingual nation (Liang 2015, 154). The country's strong monolingual language policy heavily promotes a single standard language-Putonghua. Recently, scholars have begun to investigate 'regional Putonghua' varieties, contact varieties that have emerged from standard language promotion and community second language acquisitio…
Individual variation in attitudes towards Chinese-English code-switching
This paper aims to improve our understanding of the social psychology of code-switching by investigating societal attitudes towards two types of Chinese-English code-switching, insertions of English words in Chinese sentences and switching to English at clausal boundaries in Chinese. It examines how subjects’ evaluation of code-switching is influenced by their general language attitudes and language use associated with network exposure. The subje…
A socio-cognitive approach to code-switching
This study addresses the social-cognitive interactions that occur in code-switching and integrates social and cognitive factors from a usage-based perspective. It investigates code-switching in two different interaction modes – speech and writing – to consider not only the influence of social factors (social networks and attitudes) but also the relative cognitive processing load. The data were gathered from 40 Chinese-English bilinguals in London…
Qualitative study of psychosocial factors impacting on Aboriginal women’s management of chronic disease
The caring roles and responsibilities Aboriginal women have in their community impact on their health. Aboriginal women provide much needed refuge and support to family and the wider community. Underfunded and over-burdened formal support services are not meeting the needs of many Aboriginal women. Improved culturally secure resources and social services are required within communities to support Aboriginal women to successfully manage their own …

Fine Mapping and SNP Analysis of Positional Candidates at the Preeclampsia Susceptibility Locus (PREG1) on Chromosome 2
Genome scans in Icelandic, Australian and New Zealand, and Finnish families have localized putative susceptibility loci for preeclampsia/ eclampsia to chromosome 2. The locus mapped in the Australian and New Zealand study (designated PREG1) was thought to be the same locus as that identified in the Icelandic study. In both these studies, two distinct quantitative trait locus (QTL) regions were evident on chromosome 2. Here, we describe our fine m…
