Behavioral correlates of language production in non-verbal tasks: Inner speech is observable via word frequency effects on gaze duration
This study demonstrates that unprompted inner speech use is reflected in gaze durations during an audio-visual probe-recognition task. In Experiment 1, participants studied visually presented object arrays for six seconds and subsequently decided whether an auditorily presented word corresponded to an object in the study array. One object in the study array was designated as the target object. Target objects were selected based on the word freque…

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…

There is no prime for time: The missing link between form and concept of progressive aspect in L2 production
The acquisition of linguistic structures that require perspective-taking at the level of message generation is challenging. We investigate use of progressive aspect in L2 event encoding, using a sentence priming paradigm. We focus on Dutch, in which use of progressive aspect is optional. The progressive consists of a prepositional phrase (‘aan het,’ at-the), plus a verbal infinitive. We ask, to what extent L2 speakers, in comparison to native spe…
