2021. How explicit instruction improves phonological awareness and perception of L2 sound contrasts in younger and older adults. Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism: Online-First Articles

Despite the importance of conscious awareness in second language acquisition theories, little is known about how L2 speech perception can be improved by explicit phonetic instruction. This study examined the relationship between phonological awareness and perception in Dutch younger and older adult… read more | Article

Goriot, Claire, Sharon Unsworth, Roeland van Hout, Mirjam Broersma and James M. McQueen. 2021. Differences in phonological awareness performance: Are there positive or negative effects of bilingual experience?. Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism 11:3, pp. 418–451

Children who have knowledge of two languages may show better phonological awareness than their monolingual peers (e.g. Bruck & Genesee, 1995). It remains unclear how much bilingual experience is needed for such advantages to appear, and whether differences in language or cognitive skills alter the… read more | Article

Carter, Diana, Mirjam Broersma and Kevin Donnelly. 2016. Applying computing innovations to bilingual corpus analysis. Language Acquisition Beyond Parameters: Studies in honour of Juana M. Liceras, Alba de la Fuente, Anahí, Elena Valenzuela and Cristina Martínez Sanz (eds.), pp. 281–301

With current innovations in corpus analysis, it is now possible to extract and analyze large amounts of monolingual and bilingual data in minutes, as opposed to the numerous hours previously needed to manually analyze a much smaller quantum of data. In this chapter, we review innovative techniques… read more | Article

Broersma, Mirjam. 2011. Triggered code-switching: Evidence from picture naming experiments. Modeling Bilingualism: From Structure to Chaos, Schmid, Monika S. and Wander Lowie (eds.), pp. 37–58

This paper presents experimental evidence that cognates can trigger codeswitching. In two picture naming experiments, Dutch-English bilinguals switched between Dutch and English. Crucial words followed either a cognate or a non-cognate. In Experiment 1, response language was indicated by a color… read more | Article

Broersma, Mirjam en Kees de Bot. 2001. De Triggertheorie Voor Codewisseling: De oorspronkelijke en een aangepaste versie. Toegepaste Taalwetenschap in Artikelen 65, pp. 41–54

This article is about the triggering hypothesis for codeswitching. The original version of the hypothesis is not compatible with recent theories on speech production. Its claim that words have a raised chance of being codeswitched when they verge on a trigger word is inconsistent with the… read more | Article
