I am recruiting Japanese Heritage speakers and L2 Japanese learners for two research studies that I am running for my dissertation.

Please consider participating, or even pass on the information to your Japanese-speaking communities and programs! I am also happy to answer further questions at my email add

SUMMARY The book contains an edited collection of papers from the “Colloque de Syntaxe et Sémantique à Paris” (CSSP) conference, which took place at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris in 2023. After a short preface by the editors, the 231-page volume comprises eight chapters, each presenting a distinct paper.

Two new articles by McGill linguists have been published in Language and Linguistics Compass! Correlates of Object Raising in Mayan, by Justin Royer (PhD ’22) and Jessica Coon (https://doi.org/10.1111/lnc3.70013) Abstract: Mayan languages show variation in the morphosyntactic distribution of absolutive objects.

Eyes on Text presents a contemporary overview of research on eye movements in reading and language processing by spinning around the heptagon of cognitive science, which consists of linguistics, neuroscience, philosophy, anthropology, artificial intelligence, education in its corners.

In recent years, child-centered research has garnered increasing attention among scholars working with children. However, it remains under-explored within the field of applied linguistics. This gap is partly attributable to the conceptual complexity of the notion itself; “child-centered research” encompasses multiple interpretations, and each significantly shapes research design and implementation. This edited volume offers a collection of reflective essays by leading scholars in the field of ad
