The role of adjectival modification in native vs. non-native speaker processing of idiomatic language
Date:
40 native speakers and 10 L2 learners of English were presented canonical and adjectivally modified variants of VNP idioms and literal phrases in a combined judgment and reaction time task. Results were discussed adopting a constraint‐based view of bilingual idiom processing.
This was a paper presentation at The 34th Second Language Research Forum (SLRF) conference.
This work was done with Dr. Stefanie Wulff at the University of Florida.
