      The current study investigated gender (control) and number (target) agreement processing in Northern and non-Northern Norwegians living in Northern Norway. Participants varied in exposure to Northern Norwegian (NN) dialect(s), where number marking differs from most other Norwegian dialects. In a comprehension task involving reading NN dialect writing, P600 effects for number agreement were significantly ...
    • Defining bilingualism as a continuum: Some tools and consequences for the study of bilingual mind and brain effects 

      Rothman, Jason; Bayram, Fatih; DeLuca, Vincent; Gonzalez Alonso, Jorge; Kubota, Maki; Puig-Mayenco, Eloi (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)
      Prior to the early 1960s, the idea that children in bilingual contexts were somehow disadvantaged for linguistic and cognitive development was popularly held. Without consideration of socio-economic inequalities across groups, often co-occurring with ethnic/racial minority status, it was argued that simultaneous language exposure resulted in confusion, delaying the process of language acquisition ...
    • Evidence from Neurolinguistic Methodologies: Can it Actually Inform Linguistic/Language Acquisition Theories and Translate to Evidence-Based Applications? 

      Roberts, L; Gonzalez Alonso, Jorge; Pliatsikas, Christos; Rothman, Jason (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-10-13)
      This special issue is a testament to the recent burgeoning interest by theoretical linguists, language acquisitionists and teaching practitioners in the neuroscience of language. It offers a highly valuable, state-of-the-art overview of the neurophysiological methods that are currently being applied to questions in the field of second language (L2) acquisition, teaching and processing. Research in ...
