Does entering early childhood education as a toddler benefit language and social development until age seven? A propensity score analysis
Do peers matter? Peer effects on young children’s vocabulary gains in German classrooms
Does variation in early childhood education matter more for dual language learners’ than for monolingual children’s language development
Can early childhood education (ECE) support the societal language development of children from linguistically diverse backgrounds? This study examined how existing variation in classroom interaction quality (CLASS Pre-K), classroom composition (percentages of children from low-income backgrounds and dual language learners [DLLs]), and duration of attending German ECE were related to language trajectories from 30 to 73 months of age (n = 519 child…
Creativity is a Toaster: Experimental Evidence on How Multilinguals Process Novel Metaphors
This article investigates the connection between multilingual experiences and creative metaphoric competence. As multilingualism has been shownto bring cognitive advantages in creative thinking, this article explores whether the ability to interpret creative metaphors differs in participants with less versus more multilingual experience. The results of a self-paced reading study combined with a sensicality judgment showed that people with less ve…
Family Literacy Activities and Their Interplay with Family and Preschool Language Environments: Links to Gains in Dual Language Learners’ German Vocabulary
Research Findings : Are family literacy activities linked to gains in preschool-aged dual language learners’ (DLLs’) societal language vocabulary? To understand connections between literacy activities and vocabulary, we separately considered literacy activities in the respective heritage language and in the societal language, German, and accounted for heterogeneity in DLLs’ family and preschool language environment. DLLs (n = 115) were administer…
The status of conventional metaphorical meaning in the L2 lexicon
This paper investigates how L2 speakers of English process conventional metaphorical expressions. While much of the literature on L2 processing of figurative expressions focuses on idioms only, the aim of this paper is to investigate how L2 speakers process conventional metaphorical expressions. The results of a cross-modal semantic priming task show that conventional metaphors have a special status in comparison to literal language in the L2 lex…
Longitudinal interrelations between nonword repetition and vocabulary from age three to five: Evidence for within-child processes
The relation between nonword repetition and vocabulary has been the focus of a theoretical controversy for several decades. The point of contention is whether the ability underlying nonword repetition drives vocabulary growth or vice versa. The present study examines longitudinal interrelations between nonword repetition and vocabulary from age 3 to 5 with random intercept cross-lagged panel models (RI-CLPMs). RI-CLPMs have the advantage of separ…
Creative Multilingualism: A Manifesto
Creative Multilingualism: A Manifesto is a welcome contribution to the field of modern languages, highlighting the intricate relationship between multilingualism and creativity, and, crucially, reaching beyond an Anglo-centric view of the world. Intended to spark further research and discussion, this book appeals to young people interested in languages, language learning and cultural exchange. It will be a valuable resource for academics, educato…
Creating Languages
Chapter 10 sets out on a journey of discovery, homing in on some key questions concerning the interplay between creativity and languages, finding out what motivates language inventors to create an artificial language such as Esperanto and equip mythical folk such as Elves and the Dothraki with distinctive languages. It further considers the extraordinary linguistic inventiveness that allows us to create and appreciate language play, such as puns
Languages at Work
Chapter 9 looks at the role languages play in working contexts. It examines how increasing your linguistic flexibility and learning languages extend your communicative and cultural range in ways you can deploy for career purposes; and how glimpses of careers in which people use foreign languages tell us something about what makes languages valuable personally, culturally, professionally and financially – sometimes all at once
Ethnic and National Identity Development and School Adjustment: A Longitudinal Study With Turkish Immigrant-Origin Children
We examined developmental trajectories of ethnic and national identity during early adolescence and linked subgroups of identity change to ethnic minority children's school adjustment. Our longitudinal data on Turkish immigrant-origin children in Germany ( N = 146; MT1 = 10.42 years, 46.6% male) covered three waves of annual measurement. A person-oriented approach using growth mixture modeling revealed two different classes (subgroups) of identit…
Acculturation Gaps Between Turkish Immigrant Marriage Partners: Resource or Source of Distress
Research on acculturation gaps has traditionally focused on parent-child dyads and the negative implications for youths' psycho-social adaptation. The current study explored the impact of acculturation gaps in Turkish immigrant couples ( N = 121) on each spouse's acculturation stress. Wives and husbands reported their acculturation across two domains (language and identity) and dimensions (German and Turkish), and two facets of stress (homesickne…
Poetologische Metaphern: Formen und Funktionen in der deutschen Literatur
The study examines the significance of metaphors in the process of poetological communication between author and recipient. Using references to poetological debates in Classical Antiquity, the author follows the way in which authors writing in German from the Middle Ages up to the present have creatively adapted topical metaphors to lend effect to their projects.
Metapher
Von "Atemkristall" bis "letzte Reise" die Metapher in Alltagskommunikation, Fachsprache und Lyrik. Wie wirkt die Metapher? Wie unterscheidet sie sich von Allegorie, Symbol oder Vergleich? Der Band klärt alle Fragen und veranschaulicht anhand vieler Beispiele die Funktion bildlicher Sprache.
Flaschenpost’: Sprache Als Metapher in Der Lyrik Des 20. Jahrhunderts
Der Beitrag erkundet unter Bezug auf eine kognitiv orientierte Metapherntheorie Funktionen metasprachlicher Metaphorik in der deutschen Lyrik des 20. Jahrhunderts. Vorausgesetzt wird die grundlegende Metaphorizität der Alltagssprache sowie die wesenhafte Verbindung zwischen lyrischer Kommunikation und Alltags‐kommunikation: Auch avantgardistische Lyrik lebt aus dem Umgang mit etablierten sprachlichen Konventionen. Mit metasprachlichen Metaphern e…
