  • Incremental processing in a polysynthetic language (Murrinhpatha)

    Open AccessLaurence Bruggeman, Evan Kidd et al.ARTICLECognition2025

    Language processing is rapidly incremental, but evidence bearing upon this assumption comes from very few languages. In this paper we report on a study of incremental processing in Murrinhpatha, a polysynthetic Australian language, which expresses complex sentence-level meanings in a single verb, the full meaning of which is not clear until the final morph. Forty native Murrinhpatha speakers participated in a visual world eyetracking experiment i…

  • Lexical recognition processes in L2-dominant bilingualism

    Open AccessLaurence Bruggeman, Antony Cutler et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Language Sciences2024

    To comprehend speech, listeners must resolve competition between potential candidate words. In second-language (L2) listening such competition may be inflated by spurious activation; the onsets of “reggae” and “legacy” may both activate “leg” for Japanese listeners, or the rhymes of “adapt” and “adept” may activate “apt” for Dutch listeners, while only one in each pair triggers competition for L1 listeners. Using eyetracking with L2-dominant bili…

  • Listening like a native

    Open AccessLaurence Bruggeman, Antony Cutler et al.ARTICLEBilingualism Language and Cognition2023

    Two languages, historically related, both have lexical stress, with word stress distinctions signalled in each by the same suprasegmental cues. In each language, words can overlap segmentally but differ in placement of primary versus secondary stress ( OCtopus , ocTOber ). However, secondary stress occurs more often in the words of one language, Dutch, than in the other, English, and largely because of this, Dutch listeners find it helpful to use…

  • The production of /s/-stop clusters by pre-schoolers with hearing loss

    Open AccessJulien MILLASSEAU, Laurence Bruggeman et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Language2023

    Producing word-initial /s/-stop clusters can be a challenge for English-speaking pre-schoolers. For children with hearing loss (HL), fricatives can be also difficult to perceive, raising questions about their production and representation of /s/-stop clusters. The goal of this study was therefore to determine if pre-schoolers with HL can produce and represent the /s/ in word-initial /s/-stop clusters, and to compare this to their normal hearing (…

  • Acoustic cues to coda stop voicing contrasts in Australian English-speaking children

    Open AccessJulien MILLASSEAU, Ivan Yuen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Language2021

    While voicing contrasts in word-onset position are acquired relatively early, much less is known about how and when they are acquired in word-coda position, where accurate production of these contrasts is also critical for distinguishing words (e.g., do g vs. do ck ). This study examined how the acoustic cues to coda voicing contrasts are realized in the speech of 4-year-old Australian English-speaking children. The results showed that children u…
