Journal Article
Siyanova-Chanturia, A., Conklin, K., Caffarra, S., Kaan, E., & van Heuven, W. J. (2017). Representation and processing of multi-word expressions in the brain. Brain and Language, 175, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bandl.2017.10.004

Language comprehension is sensitive to the predictability of the upcoming information. Prediction allows for smooth, expedient and successful communication. While general discourse-based constraints have been investigated in detail, more specific phr... Read More about Representation and processing of multi-word expressions in the brain.

Naturalistic reading in the L2 and the impact of word frequency and cross-linguistic similarity (2017)
Journal Article
Allen, D., & Conklin, K. (2017). Naturalistic reading in the L2 and the impact of word frequency and cross-linguistic similarity. 00 Journal not listed, 7(3), 41-57

While psycholinguistic studies of first language (L1) reading have identified multiple factors that predict the speed of lexical access, there are few studies investigating whether such factors influence second language (L2) reading. For usage-based... Read More about Naturalistic reading in the L2 and the impact of word frequency and cross-linguistic similarity.
