2023 Student interpreters predict meaning while simultaneously interpreting - even before training Interpreting 25:2, pp. 211–238 | Article
Prediction has long been considered advantageous in simultaneous interpreting, as it may allow interpreters to comprehend more rapidly and focus on their own production. However, evidence of prediction in simultaneous interpreting to date is relatively limited. In addition, it is unclear whether… read more
2023 Chapter 3. Can learning explain cognate effects in bilingual comprehension and production? Bilingualism through the Prism of Psycholinguistics: In honour of Albert Costa, Santesteban, Mikel, Jon Andoni Duñabeitia and Cristina Baus (eds.), pp. 104–129 | Chapter
Most theories of bilingual word recognition and production assume parallel, on-line activation of both languages, even in one-language contexts. A considerable amount of the evidence for parallel activation comes from the study of translation equivalents with similar form and meaning across two… read more
2021 Chapter 2. Automaticity and prediction in non-native language comprehension Prediction in Second Language Processing and Learning, Kaan, Edith and Theres Grüter (eds.), pp. 25–46 | Chapter
Some evidence suggests that prediction is more limited in non-native language (L2) than native language (L1) comprehension. We evaluate the hypothesis that prediction is limited in L2 because prediction is largely non-automatic. We examine whether the subprocesses involved in prediction are… read more
2018 Chapter 3. Effects of a speaker’s gaze on language comprehension and acquisition Eye-tracking in Interaction: Studies on the role of eye gaze in dialogue, Brône, Geert and Bert Oben (eds.), pp. 47–66 | Chapter
This chapter discusses the role of a speaker’s gaze on a listener’s language processing, recall of information, and on child language learning. Speaker gaze facilitates performance in all of these domains, which suggests that it plays an important role in communication. Indeed, the findings… read more
2013 Interactive alignment and prediction
in dialogue Alignment in Communication: Towards a new theory of communication, Wachsmuth, Ipke, Jan de Ruiter, Petra Jaecks and Stefan Kopp (eds.), pp. 193–204 | Article
In this chapter we discuss Pickering and Garrod’s (2004) interactive alignment account of dialogue processing and consider a range of evidence supporting the model. We then introduce a more nuanced account of interactive alignment than that in Pickering and Garrod (2004) based on speakers’ and… read more
