First language (L1) maintenance in typologically close languages
The present study contributes to the growing body of research showing absence of first language (L1) attrition when the L1 and second language (L2) are structurally aligned and regularly used. It investigates possible language attrition in the morphosyntactic features of 3rd-person Italian accusative clitics across three clitic structures in sequential L1-Italian–L2-Spanish speakers immersed in a Spanish-predominant environment. A total of 19 Ita…
Structural priming as a model for testing language change in bilingualism
This study examined the interplay between cross-linguistic influence, structural priming, and language variation. Specifically, it investigated whether Spanish–Majorcan Catalan bilinguals process expressed and unexpressed object constructions similarly, and whether they show evidence of cross-linguistic influence and synchronic change arising from sustained contact between the two languages. While previous research has examined null-object repres…
Second language acquisition of grammatical rules
Learning a new language is an important goal that many individuals find difficult to achieve, particularly during adulthood. Several factors have related this variability to different extrinsic (learning condition, difficulty of the materials) and intrinsic (cognitive abilities) factors, but the interaction between them is barely known. In two experiments, participants learned English grammar rules in intentional (Experiment 1) or explicit (Exper…
Transfer effects from language processing to visual attention dynamics
The consistency between letters and sounds varies across languages. These differences have been proposed to be associated with different reading mechanisms (lexical vs. phonological), processing grain sizes (coarse vs. fine) and attentional windows (whole words vs. individual letters). This study aimed to extend this idea to writing to dictation. For that purpose, we evaluated whether the use of different types of processing has a differential im…
Cognate facilitation effect during auditory comprehension of a second language
Aims and Objectives: The cognate facilitation effect (CFE) is a robust effect in language production and visual word comprehension, but evidence for CFE during auditory comprehension is still scarce. This study aimed to explore the CFE during auditory comprehension of a second language (L2) while manipulating proficiency in the L2 and cognate type. These two variables are known to influence the CFE. Methodology: Low and highly proficient Spanish–…
Vitamin D deficiency is common and is associated with overweight in Mexican children aged 1–11 years
Objective To assess vitamin D dietary sources, intake and 25-hydroxyvitamin D status and their association with individual and sociodemographic characteristics in Mexican children. Design Data obtained from 2695 children aged 1–11 years from the Mexican National Health and Nutrition Survey (2012) were analysed. Diet was assessed by a 141-item FFQ. 25-Hydroxyvitamin D was measured by a chemiluminescent assay. Results Mean vitamin D intake was 3·38…
