The “code-switching issue”: Transition from (socio)linguistic to cognitive research
This review investigates the complex dynamics of code-switching (CS), the spontaneous alternation between languages within a conversation, particularly its implications for cognitive processes like executive functions (EFs). Analysing post-2015 studies, it critically assesses 23 experiments. Through stringent criteria and comprehensive search strategies, the review identifies factors influencing CS types and their impact on cognition, highlightin…
Code-switching and cognitive control: A review of current trends and future directions
Bilinguals frequently switch between their languages, a phenomenon known as code-switching (CS). CS is supposed to interact with cognitive control, making theories of cognitive control crucial for understanding bilinguals' CS behavior. This article reviews four prominent frameworks of cognitive control as they pertain to CS. We critically assess each framework and examine empirical studies that test their predictions. In doing so, we highlight th…
Conceptual Blending Across Ontological Domains—References to Time and Space in Motion Events by Tunisian Arabic Speakers of L2 German
Patterns of information selection and verbal encoding may rely on an interdependence between the spatial and temporal conceptual domain in the context of motion events. This has been shown, e.g., for Tunisian Arabic (TA), a language with a highly differentiated aspectual system. We address the question whether this interdependence can also be observed when L1 speakers of TA describe motion events in their L2 German, a language without grammatical…
What is the interference in “verbal interference”
Research on the interrelation between language and other components of cognition makes frequent use of verbal interference paradigms. In this, participants are engaged in a primary nonverbal task, while simultaneously repeating non-sense syllables from memory or playback to occupy their articulatory buffer, which is assumed to block internal language use. However, language production involves different subprocesses and levels of representation, a…
Limitations on the role of frequency in L2 acquisition
In the context of theories of statistical learning, frequency of encounter is viewed as a major driving force in L2 acquisition. The present paper challenges this position with respect to core components at the level of language competence which relate to language-specific patterns in cognitive construal. Empirical evidence from very advanced L2 speakers (L1 French, L2 English and L2 German) shows that forms and constructions which are highly fre…
What makes up a reportable event in a language? Motion events as an important test domain in linguistic typology
Numerous crosslinguistic studies on motion events have been carried out in investigating the scope of the two-fold typology "path versus manner" (Talmy 1985, 2000) and its possible implications. This typological contrast is too narrow as it stands, however, to account for the diversity found both within and across types. The present study is based on what can be termed aprocess-oriented perspective. It includes the analyses of all relevant concep…
From time to space: The impact of aspectual categories on the construal of motion events: The case of Tunisian Arabic and Modern Standard Arabic
Motion events and their linguistic form have been studied extensively over the past decades from a typological as well as a psycholinguistic point of view. While many studies take
Grammaticalized temporal categories, language specificity, and macroplanning in expository texts
The linguistic knowledge which is brought to bear in carrying out a complex task such as a narrative or route directions has been at the centre of a series of studies on language-specific patterns in the organization of information for expression. Analyses of oral and written texts in German, Standard Arabic, and Russian show different patterns in macro-structural organization and macroplanning that correlate with grammatical features of the resp…

La subordination dans les recits d’apprenants avances francophones et germanphones de l’anglais
Cette étude poursuit l’investigation (cf. Carroll et Lambert, 2003) des divergences qui subsistent entre natifs anglophones et apprenants très avancés germanophones et francophones de l’anglais dans l’usage fonctionnel des moyens grammaticalisés, notamment ceux de la subordination. Elle s’inscrit dans des travaux de comparaisons interlingues où il a été montré que dans des tâches verbales complexes comme le récit (1) les modes d’organisation de l…
Processes of conceptualization in language production: Language-Specific Perspectives and Event Construal
Differences in how verbal tasks are solved by speakers of different languages are often attributed to specific cultural and stylistic traditions. In contrast to this position we argue that differences in the organization of information in texts are rooted in structural contrasts between languages. This claim is based on production data from speakers of English, German, and Algerian Arabic which include retellings of a silent film and verbalizatio…
Quaestio and L-perspectivation
Selective hearer-adaptation
The role of the listener in processes of language planning and production is assessed controversially in the literature. In this paper it is argued that differences observed in the degree of partner adaptivity are related to differences in task complexity. Earlier studies in this field focused on the production of single referential acts. In order to test hearer-orientedness under conditions in which speakers have rather to develop and follow a c…
