Pragmatics and prosody in production and comprehension of scopally ambiguous sentences: Evidence from Russian
In this paper, we analyze scopally ambiguous Russian sentences containing sentential negation and NPs with the quantifier ‘all’ following the verb. While prosody has been shown to disambiguate scope in artificial examples lacking pragmatic cues, we aimed to examine its role in real usage, including production and comprehension of natural sentences. For production, we collected examples from the Multimedia Russian Corpus and analyzed their interpr…

Rethinking First Language-Second Language Similarities and Differences in English Proficiency: Insights From the ENglish Reading Online (Enro) Project
This article presents the ENglish Reading Online (ENRO) project that offers data on English reading and listening comprehension from 7,338 university-level advanced learners and native speakers of English representing 19 countries. The database also includes estimates of reading rate and seven component skills of English, including vocabulary, spelling, and grammar, as well as rich demographic and language background data. We first demonstrate hi…
Text reading in English as a second language: Evidence from the Multilingual Eye-Movements Corpus
Research into second language (L2) reading is an exponentially growing field. Yet, it still has a relatively short supply of comparable, ecologically valid data from readers representing a variety of first languages (L1). This article addresses this need by presenting a new data resource called MECO L2 (Multilingual Eye Movements Corpus), a rich behavioral eye-tracking record of text reading in English as an L2 among 543 university student speake…
Discourse complexity in the light of eye-tracking: A pilot Russian language study
The paper explores the influence of discourse structure on text complexity. We assume that certain types of discourse units are easier to read than others, due to their explicit discourse structure, which makes their informational input more accessible. As a data source, we use the dataset from the MECO corpus, which contains eye movement data for 12 Russian texts read by 35 native speakers. We demonstrate that the approach relying on elementary …
Acquisition of the nominal case system in Russian as a second language
Using written texts elicited from students with different proficiency levels, we studied the acquisition of nominal cases in Russian as a second language. We established the order in which cases were acquired (nominative, locative, accusative, genitive, instrumental, and dative), as well as certain characteristics of their acquisition trajectories. We argue that the order of acquisition is determined by two groups of factors: how essential a give…

Data from Russian Help to Determine in Which Languages the Possible Word Constraint Applies
The Possible Word Constraint, or PWC, is a speech segmentation principle prohibiting to postulate word boundaries if a remaining segment contains only consonants. The PWC was initially formulated for English where all words contain a vowel and claimed to hold universally after being confirmed for various other languages. However, it is crucial to look at languages that allow for words without vowels. Two such languages have been tested: data from…

Processing of a Free Word Order Language: The Role of Syntax and Context
In languages with flexible constituent order (so-called free word order languages), available orders are used to encode given/new distinctions; they therefore differ not only syntactically, but also in their context requirements. In Experiment 1, using a self-paced reading task, we compared Russian S V IO DO (canonical), DO S V IO and DO IO V S constructions in appropriate vs. inappropriate contexts (those that violated their context requirements…
