Abstract: International audience; English language education is traditionally seen in many contemporary contexts from three main perspectives: as a gateway to cultural enrichment (English studies), for access to international science or commerce (English for specific purposes), or as a basic skill (general English certification). Members of the English language teaching community are generally involved in the second and third domains: either English for Specific Purposes (ESP) or what Abbott termed TENOR (Teaching English for No Obvious Reason). The present paper examines the debate between general and specific purpose English language teaching from the early days of the British ESP ‘juggernaut’, taking as its starting point a debate conducted in the pages of the British Council publication ELT Documents in the late 1970s between two experienced teachers. This debate highlights tensions between the official or ‘intended’ curriculum as dictated by the newly emerging academic discipline of applied linguistics and the ‘taught layer’ developed by language teachers working overseas and in UK university at the time. Drawing on contemporary sources including academic journal articles and book chapters, ESP textbooks, and memoirs and biographical notes, this chapter traces the influence of four key academics and four EST lecturers who together influenced the development of the field of ESP in the UK in the 1970s. Their work, I argue, is an example of a useful cross-fertilisation of academic research and teaching practice and benefited from both unusually propitious circumstances and some quite remarkable individuals.

Abstract: International audience; Speech perception involves segmenting a continuous stream of speech into its word components. This can be challenging in the case of homophonous utterances only differing in non-contrastive subphonemic features. Yet, the speech perception system seems able to discriminate subphonemic deviation in homophonous utterances, since it has been shown to elicit a mismatch response (MMN). Here, we focused on the oscillatory correlates, namely phase resetting and power, of non-contrastive subphonemic deviation processing in language. An oddball task that considered natural intraspeaker variability was used.Subphonemic deviance elicited intertrial phase coherence (ITC) differences in the theta band at Fz during the time window of the MMN. No differences in power were found. This suggests that the processing of subphonemic deviation in speech signals, reflected by the MMN, might rely on mechanisms of phase resetting. ITC might facilitate the synchronous firing of functional networks involved in the processing of subphonemic deviance

Abstract: International audience; An important function of the brain is to predict which stimulus is likely to occur based on the perceived cues. The present research studied the branching behavior of a computational network model of populations of excitatory and inhibitory neurons, both analytically and through simulations. Results show how synaptic efficacy, retroactive inhibition and short-term synaptic depression determine the dynamics of selection between different branches predicting sequences of stimuli of different probabilities. Further results show that changes in the probability of the different predictions depend on variations of neuronal gain. Such variations allow the network to optimize the probability of its predictions to changing probabilities of the sequences without changing synaptic efficacy.

Abstract: In a recent publication, Foster (2020) identified several promising directions for second language (L2) oral fluency research, including explicit attention to the parallel development of fluency and productive vocabulary knowledge. The present paper focuses on this issue and proposes an analysis of longitudinal data collected from five Francophone learners of L2 English before and after a nine-month stay in an Anglophone environment. The analysis focuses on speed fluency and breakdown fluency as well as on both free and controlled measures of productive vocabulary knowledge. Results point to clear evolution in speed fluency for all five participants and different individual trajectories for breakdown fluency after a stay abroad. Change with respect to productive vocabulary knowledge, as measured by three measures, was mixed. Findings are interpreted in light of previous research. In particular, we argue that the current results do not provide strong evidence for a clear relationship between productive vocabulary knowledge and oral fluency development.

Abstract: The complex span task used to evaluate working memory (WM) capacity has been considered to be the most predictive task of fluid intelligence. However, the structure of the complex span tasks varies from one study to another, and it has not been questioned yet whether these variants could influence the predictive power of these tasks. Previous studies have typically used either structures based on alternating processing-storage patterns or alternating storage-processing patterns. We present one experiment in which the participants were submitted to both the processing-storage vs. storage-processing types. After completing both types of complex span tasks, the participants performed a reasoning test (Matrix Reasoning of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale - WAIS-IV). The results showed a significant difference in the WM spans between the two conditions, with higher spans observed in the processing-storage alternating structure, and different serial position curves. However, the correlations showed that both types of tasks remained equally predictive of performance in the reasoning test. These results are discussed in regard to the time-based resource-sharing model.

Abstract: International audience; With today’s strong focus on communicative competence in second language (L2) classrooms, speech acts like suggestions, requests, refusals, and apologies are often investigated in interlanguage pragmatic (ILP) as well as instructional pragmatics. Even though there is strong evidence in ILP research that purports that L2 learners respond well to pragmatic instruction (Taguchi, 2015), the teaching of L2 pragmatics is not always prioritized in textbooks, teaching programmes or teacher education (Barron, 2016; Savvidou & Economidou-Kogetsidis, 2019) with the consequence that pragmatic learning can only occur incidentally. The present study examines opportunities to acquire L2 requests for 308 English as a foreign language (EFL) learners across 7 years of instruction in French secondary schools, investigating textbooks preferred by teachers, classroom interaction (39 hours), and teacher perspectives (semi-structured interviews with 10 teachers). After a pragmatic analysis of 15 EFL textbooks with a focus on requests, the study examines the incidence of metapragmatic input in 39 hours of teaching in 13 classes at 3 levels, and relates interactional patterns with interview data from the 10 teachers concerned. Findings suggest limited pragmatic input in both textbooks and classroom interaction. By comparing the profiles of teachers who encouraged L2 requests with those who did not, the study offers new explanations for L2 learners’ limited pragmatic development which also broadly corroborate previous findings of somewhat limited potential for L2 pragmatic development in obligatory school contexts.

Abstract: L’effet de pratique distribuée, qui réfère à l’impact de l’organisation de l’apprentissage sur la rétention d’une information répétée, a fait l’objet d’une vaste littérature empirique. Ces travaux ont montré, d’une façon générale, que de longs intervalles temporels entre les épisodes répétés d’apprentissage d’une nouvelle information (condition espacée) permettent une rétention en mémoire plus importante par rapport à des répétitions massées ou fortement rapprochées dans le temps. L’effet de pratique distribuée a été examiné pour une grande variété de types d’apprentissage, et on dispose en particulier d’une riche littérature sur cet effet pour l’apprentissage du vocabulaire d’une langue seconde (L2). Dans cet article, nous présentons les concepts et théories nécessaires pour comprendre l’effet de pratique distribuée avant de présenter une synthèse des études qui se sont focalisées sur l’apprentissage du vocabulaire L2. Malgré l’intérêt que les chercheurs ont porté à la façon d’organiser temporellement l’apprentissage, ces résultats robustes sont relativement méconnus des enseignants et des apprenants des langues. Ainsi, après avoir réalisé une revue de la littérature la plus pertinente, nous identifierons comment ces travaux peuvent contribuer à l’apprentissage et à l’enseignement du vocabulaire L2. The distributed practice effect, which concerns the impact of the organization of learning time on the retention of repeated information learned, has inspired a large body of empirical research. Such research has generally shown, among other things, that longer temporal intervals between learning episodes (spaced learning) result in greater ultimate retention of new information, in comparison with both massed and more narrowly-spaced learning episodes. The distributed practice effect has been researched with respect to a wide variety of skills, including a rich body of research on how distributed practice may impact vocabulary learning in a second language (L2). In this article, we present the concepts and theories necessary to understand the distributed practice effect before offering an overview of studies that have focused on how L2 vocabulary learning may be influenced by distributed practice. Despite the large amount of sustained interest among researchers in this way of organizing learning, these robust findings are relatively unknown to language educators and language learners. Thus, after reviewing the relevant literature, we end by identifying how this research may fruitfully inform L2 vocabulary learning and teaching.

Abstract: International audience; Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) has been so far the golden standard to study the functional aspects of the cerebellum. In this paper, a low-cost alternative imaging, i.e. functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) is demonstrated to achieve successful measurements of the cerebellar hemodynamics towards the challenging observation of motor and cognitive processes at the cerebellar level. The excitation and reception optodes need to be properly placed to circumvent a major hindering from the shielding by the neck muscles. A simple experimental protocol, i.e. finger tapping task, was implemented to observe the subject’s engagement and the presence of functional asymmetries. Marked differences among subjects with different levels of lateralization were clearly noticed in terms of activation and latencies, together with peaks in the hemodynamic response following neural activation. These preliminary results suggest also differences in the hemodynamic behavior between the brain and the cerebellum and encourage future and extended analysis in this direction.Clinical Relevance—This establishes the possibility to use a novel technique (fNIRS) to study cerebellar hemodynamics instead of fMRI.

Abstract: International audience; We designed two experiments that tested the listeners' perceptual capacities during online segmentation of homophonic word boundaries while processing sentential information. In French, listeners often use variations in fine acoustic indices to detect word beginnings. We measured event-related potentials (ERPs) evoked by phonemically identical sequences, such as l'affiche ("the poster") and la fiche ("the sheet"), both [lafiʃ], which were contained in either congruent or incongruent sentences. Results showed that although listeners can detect acoustic variations in homophonic sequences, these may not be salient enough when contextual information is also present. Shifting attention from sentence meaning (Task 1) to lexical information (Task 2), enhanced the listeners' perception of fine-grained acoustic details. Thus, topdown processes are likely to modulate speech perception and segmentation.

Abstract: International audience; The estimation of Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) from the ambient EEG is a difficult task, usually achieved through the synchronous averaging of an extensive series of trials. However, this technique has some caveats: the ERPs have to be strictly time-locked with similar shape, i.e. emitted with the same latency and the same profile, with minor fluctuations of their amplitudes. Also, the method requires a huge number of valid trials (~100) to efficiently raise the ERPs from the EEG trials. In the case of cognitive ERPs, as with the N400, the delivered stimulus has to be different for each trial, the latencies are varying, and the number of available trials is usually low. In this paper, an alternative method, coined Integral Shape Averaging (ISA) and its derivatives are detailed. ISA is robust to varying latencies and affine transforms of shape. Furthermore, a new method coined ISAD can be derived to extract ERPs even from a single trial experiment. The aim here is to illustrate the potential of ISAD for N400 component extraction on real EEG data, with emphasis on its general applicability for ERPs computation and its major assets like reduced experimental protocol. Some insights are also given on its potential use to study ERP variability, through shape and latency.Clinical Relevance— The proposed algorithm aims to be a helpful tool in clinical practice to analyze and interpret evoked responses in real experimental settings, especially for particularities in neurology.

Abstract: International audience; Depuis les nouveaux programmes de 2002 (BO n°1, 2002), l'enseignement de l’anglais en primaire occupe une place importante et son enseignement est devenu un enjeu important. Si l’institution souhaite l’intégration des technologies par les enseignant·es (BO n°.11, 2004; BO, n°1, 2007; BO n°.28, 2010), cette intégration est “à apprécier non pas à travers les seules directives ministérielles [...] mais au plus près des pratiques réelles des enseignant·es” (Guichon, 2012a: 34).Ce papier propose un compte-rendu d’une revue des pratiques enseignantes pour l’enseignement-apprentissage de l’anglais L2 à l’école primaire avec un regard particulier sur la place attribuée à l’enseignement des langues médiatisé par les technologies (ALMT, Guichon, 2012b). Cette revue est la première étape d’une méthodologie de recherche en didactique des langues étrangères et sciences de l’éducation qui s'appuie sur la collaboration entre enseignant·es du primaire, le pôle Réussite pédagogique et éducative du Rectorat de l’Académie M et chercheur.e.s et implique la co-construction d’une démarche de recueil des données autour d’une problématique en lien avec les pratiques enseignantes (Desgagné, 1997). Les résultats seront utilisés pour la co-élaboration de scénarios pédagogiques hybrides dans le cadre du projet N, permettant ainsi des va-et-vient et des articulations entre recherche et intervention sur le terrain professionnel (Vinatier & Morissette, 2015).Afin que ces scénarios soient en lien avec les pratiques et les besoins des enseignant·es, nous avons fait le choix d’élaborer un questionnaire (Blanchet, 2011) pour dresser les portraits des pratiques pédagogiques déclarées d’enseignement de l’anglais en primaire. Élaboré à partir d’un focus groupe (Finch & Lewis, 2003) en novembre 2020 avec des inspecteur·rices académiques, conseiller·ères pédagogiques et coordinateur·rices du numérique dans le premier degré de l’académie de Clermont-Ferrand, le questionnaire a fait l’objet d’une validation de contenu par les mêmes acteurs début janvier 2021 et d’une validation éthique par la commission de la recherche de l’Université Clermont Auvergne. Il a ensuite été pré-expérimenté auprès d’une dizaine d’enseignant·es fin janvier. La phase de recueil des données débutera en mars 2021 dans l’académie et durera environ un mois. Les résultats seront traités en avril et présentés dans cette communicationLes participant·es sont amené·es à se prononcer sur 25 items qui couvrent trois thèmes généraux : (1) leurs pratiques pédagogiques (fréquence à laquelle chaque compétence langagière est travaillée et types d’activités employées pour travailler ces compétences, articulation des activités dans une approche par tâche ou dans un projet plus global), (2) l’usage du numérique en classe d’anglais ainsi que l’appropriation et l’intégration du numérique en rapport avec leurs pratiques, et (3) leurs représentations de l’enseignement d’une langue étrangère (le rôle de la correction, l’importance de la grammaire et l’importance de l’interaction). Quatorze questions portent ensuite sur leur profil d’enseignement (le nombre d’années d’expérience et dans le cycle, leur formation en anglais, leur niveau d’anglais). Enfin, il est également demandé aux participant·es dans quelle mesure ils et elles souhaitent participer à la suite de l’enquête, être informé·es des résultats, participer à la conception des scénarios pédagogiques et expérimenter ces scénarios.Lors du symposium, nous présenterons les différentes phases de l’élaboration du questionnaire ainsi que les diverses questions méthodologiques que nous nous sommes posées, les résultats de l’analyse conduite en mettant en lien les caractéristiques des enseignant·es avec les méthodes et les pratiques d’enseignement mises en place en classe ainsi que la place de l’ALMT et, notamment, les classes virtuelles, et les perspectives de l’outil d’analyse que nous avons dégagées.

Abstract: International audience; Les langues étrangères représentent un enjeu majeur dans notre monde en transformation et dans ce chapitre nous nous intéressons à la question de comment les apprendre ou les faire apprendre. L’acquisition en milieu guidé (AL2 guidée) ou instructed second language acquistion (ISLA) s’intéresse à l’impact de l’enseignement sur l’apprentissage/ acquisition par des processus conscients aussi bien qu’inconscients. Nous commençons par un survol terminologique avant d’examiner l’approche cognitive-interactionniste, particulièrement bien adaptée aux méthodes d’enseignement communicatives de nos jours, et de présenter les résultats de la recherche, notamment dans le sous-domaine clé de l’acquisition médiée par les technologies. Après des décennies de recherches, de nombreuses théories et hypothèses ont été développées pour expliquer l’acquisition/apprentissage en milieu guidé. Dans ce chapitre, les travaux menés autour d’une de ces hypothèses seront utilisés pour illustrer l’étendue et la richesse des recherches en AL2 guidée (voir chapitre 13 pour une présentation détaillée du développement de la compétence interactionnelle). Il s’agit de l’hypothèse de l’interaction (Long, 1980, 1996), aujourd’hui connue sous le nom de l’approche cognitive-interactionniste (CI, Kim, 2017). Plus de vingt ans de recherches permettent aujourd’hui d’affir- mer « une relation étroite entre l’interaction et l’apprentissage » (Gass & Mackey, 2015) et l’approche CI décrit de nombreux processus associés à l’AL2 comme l’exposition des apprenants à l’input et leur production, ainsi que les liens avec la cognition et des facteurs individuels. Elle comporte des propositions spé- cifiques concernant les caractéristiques d’un enseignement L2 optimal (Kim, 2017) permettant de répondre aux interrogations des enseignants dans leur pratique quotidienne.

Abstract: In this article, we develop a new general inference method for selecting learning models. The method relies upon a specific hold-out cross-validation, which takes into account the dependency within the data. This allows us to retrieve the model that best fits the learning strategy of a single individual. The novelty of our approach lies on the choice of the testing set, both in the experimental design and in the data analysis. This individual approach is then applied to two category learning models (ALCOVE and Component-cue) on data-sets manipulating presentation order, after verification of the reliability of our method. We found that both models performed equally well during transfer, but Componentcue best fits the majority of participants during learning. To further analyze these models, we also investigated a potential relation between the underlying mechanisms of the models and the actual types of presentation order assigned to participants.

Abstract: International audience; Data compression in memory is a cognitive process allowing participants to cope with complexity to reduce information load. However, previous studies have not yet considered the hypothesis that this process could also lead to over-simplifying information due to haphazard amplification of the compression process itself. For instance, we could expect that the over-regularized features of a visual scene could produce false recognition of patterns, not because of storage capacity limits but because of an errant compression process. To prompt memory compression in our participants, we used multielement visual displays for which the underlying information varied in compressibility. The compressibility of our material could vary depending on the number of common features between the multi-dimensional objects in the displays. We measured both accuracy and response times by probing memory representations with probes that we hypothesized could modify the participants’ representations. We confirm that more compressible information facilitates performance, but a more novel finding is that compression can produce both typical memory errors and lengthened response times. Our findings provide clearer evidence of the forms of compression that participants carry out.

Abstract: This article revisits the long-standing issue of the alternation betweenwh-in-situandwh-ex-situquestions in French in the light of diglossia and cross-linguistic data. A careful preliminary examination of the numerouswh-structures in Metropolitan French leads us to focus on Colloquial French, which undoubtedly displays bothwh-in-situandwh-ex-situquestions. Within this dataset,wh-ex-situquestions without theest-ce que‘is it that’ marker are more permissive thanin-situregarding weak-islandhood and superiority. In a Relativized Minimality framework, we suggest thatwh-ex-situitems bear an additional feature, which permits them to bypass these constraints. Colloquial French is thus awh-in-situlanguage that allows forwh-ex-situunder specific conditions, like otherwh-in-situlanguages. Hence we argue against free variation and claim thatwh-fronting is not driven by awh-feature, but by another feature. Exploring the contexts wherewh-ex-situis licensed, we highlight a type of non-exhaustive contrast specific to questions, namely Exclusivity, and provide a formalization. The article therefore also contributes to the larger debate on information structure in questions.

Abstract: International audience; The input to phonological reasoning are alternations, that is, variations in the pronunciation of related words, such as in electri[k]electri[s]-ity. But phonologists cannot agree what counts as a relevant alternation: the issue is highly contentious despite a research record of over 50 years. We believe that the experimental setup presented may contribute to this debate based on a kind of evidence that was not brought to bear to date. Our experiment was thus designed to distinguish between alternations where phonological computation plays no role, and those where it has contributed to language production. The design manipulates two factors that to date have not been considered in experimental studies of language production: linguistic complexity and alternation specificity. The former is understood as extra processing demands issued by two types of linguistic activity, morphosyntactic and phonological. Our results show that reaction time latencies are longer when participants are burdened with both morphosyntactic and phonological tasks than when they carry out just a morphosyntactic task, and they are still shorter in absence of both types of demands. These results allowed us to address alternation specificity, that is, the fact that different alternations (within a language or across languages) may be driven by different production routines (an idea that is consensual among linguists but underdeveloped in the psycholinguistic literature). Our study shows that four different alternations in French produce alternation-specific signatures in reaction time latencies. These findings may thus redound to the advantage of psycholinguistic studies by identifying two new factors, as well as produce results that speak to the linguistic quarrels.

Abstract: International audience; At the creation of the Association Internationale de Linguistique Appliquée (AILA) in 1964, the new field of applied linguistics was marked by international collaboration on second and foreign language teaching among linguists in the US, the UK, and France. Over six decades later, while applied linguistics is a well-established discipline around the world, la linguistique appliquée is a much less common term in France. Research on FL teaching is called la didactique des langues [language didactics] and involves language teaching theories drawing more on education theory than applied linguistics. This paper explores the reasons for this French exception, focusing on its theoretical underpinnings, institutional foundations and acceptance by teachers and teacher educators in mid 20th-century France as compared to other founding countries of AILA.

Abstract: In the current study, we examined the role of first-language (L1) influence on the additional-language development of grammatical gender marking in Spanish. The participants were L1 speakers of English or French (N = 215), who were learning Spanish and who were at three instructional levels. The data came from their use of gender marking in noun-modifier pairs in an argumentative essay. We adopted the unified methodological framework developed by Scott Jarvis and we applied insights from variationist second language acquisition to contribute to the discussion about whether learners’ L1 impacts variability in targetlike gender marking in additional-language Spanish. Specifically, we designed our study to investigate four types of evidence that Jarvis identified (intragroup homogeneity, intergroup heterogeneity, cross-language congruity, and intralingual contrasts), and we used variationist methods to account for other factors that are known to impact variable use of gender marking. The quantitative analyses supported each type of evidence, consequently demonstrating that these learners’ L1 influenced their variable use of gender marking in Spanish. We concluded by reflecting on the contributions that the current study has made to the understanding of gender marking in additional-language Spanish and to research on L1 influence more generally.

Abstract: International audience; * Introduction: Research about cerebellar functions has become a trendy field of study, especially regarding the cerebellum involvement in sensorimotor control. The heterogeneity of the findings encourages further investigations in cerebellar activation, hemisphere specificity, but also calls for new techniques to allow easier, cheaper routine assessments. In this study, we investigated hemispheric cerebellar activation during finger movements of the dominant and subdominant hand using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS).* Methods: One healthy right-handed subject performed a finger-tapping task consisting of six repetitive blocks (task + rest), respectively, for the left and right hands. The task was repeated twice for each hand changing the activity periods: first, 10 seconds of tapping followed by 30 seconds of rest; then, 20 seconds of tapping followed by 30 seconds of rest. Cerebellar responses for each repetition were time-locked averaged.* Results: Similar haemodynamic responses were observed ipsilaterally and contralaterally for both tasks (10 vs 20 seconds activity). The dominant hemisphere (right-handed subject) proved to be involved even during subdominant hand movements. Higher synchronization of the right hemisphere for left-hand movement was observed and validated using frequency domain analysis.* Conclusion: fNIRS proved to be a good technique to capture cerebellar haemodynamics in a non-clinical setting. Furthermore, the observed asymmetries in cerebellar activation fully agree with similar fMRI studies that suggest the existence of different layers of controls from the cerebellum in the two hemispheres.

Abstract: This study reports on an event-related potentials experiment to uncover whether per-millisecond electrophysiological brain activity and analogous behavioural responses are age-sensitive when comprehending anaphoric (referent-first) and cataphoric (pronoun-first) pronouns. Two groups of French speakers were recruited (young n = 18; aged 19–35 and older adults n = 15; aged 57–88) to read sentences where the anaphoric/cataphoric pronouns and their potential referents either matched or mismatched in gender. Our findings indicate that (1) the older adults were not less accurate or slower in their behavioural responses to the mismatches than the younger adults, (2) both anaphoric and cataphoric conditions evoked a central/parietally distributed P600 component with similar timing and amplitude in both the groups. Importantly, mean amplitudes of the P600 effect were modulated by verbal short-term memory span in the older adults but not in the younger adults, (3) nevertheless, the older but not the younger adults displayed an additional anterior negativity emerging on the frontal regions in response to the anaphoric mismatches. These results suggest that pronoun processing is resilient in healthy ageing individuals, but that functional recruitment of additional brain regions, evidenced with the anterior negativity, compensates for increased processing demands in the older adults’ anaphora processing.

Abstract: International audience; Whistled speech is a form of modified speech where some frequencies of vowels and consonants are augmented and transposed to whistling, modifying the timbre and the construction of each phoneme. These transformations cause only some elements of the signal to be intelligible for naive listeners, which, according to previous studies, includes vowel recognition. Here, we analyze naive listeners’ capacities for whistled consonant categorization for four consonants: /p/, /k/, /t/ and /s/ by presenting the findings of two behavioral experiments. Though both experiments measure whistled consonant categorization, we used modified frequencies — lowered with a phase vocoder — of the whistled stimuli in the second experiment to better identify the relative nature of pitch cues employed in this process. Results show that participants obtained approximately 50% of correct responses (when chance is at 25%). These findings show specific consonant preferences for “s” and “t” over “k” and “p”, specifically when stimuli is unmodified. Previous research on whistled consonants systems has often opposed “s” and “t” to “k” and “p”, due to their strong pitch modulations. The preference for these two consonants underlines the importance of these cues in phoneme processing.

Abstract: his paper evaluates the use of intonational cues during word segmentation in French. Specifically, we aim to examine how the characteristicsof the fundamental frequency (F0)that can be observed at the beginning of wordsinfluence theirprocessing. Native speakers of French were presented with phonemically identical sequences, such as /selami/ (c’est l’amie/la mie“it’s the friend/the crumb”). To test which propertiesof the F0 affect the perceived segmentation,we manipulated the F0 slope and/or the mean value of the first vowel /a/ in consonant-initial items(e.g., lamie). To assess differences in off-line vs online processing, we used a two-alternative,forced-choice task in Experiment 1 and a lexical decision task in Experiment2. A previous study showed that vowel-initial segmentation was enhanced when the F0 mean value increased. However, the present study shows that modifying the F0 slope while keeping the F0 mean value constantalso influencesspeech segmentation in both off-line and online tasks. This suggests that listeners usethe F0 slope as a cue atthe beginning of content words.

Abstract: International audience; In this paper, we analyzed whistled vowel categorization by native French listeners. Whistled speech, a natural, yet modified register of speech, is used here as a tool to investigate perceptual processes in languages. We focused on four whistled vowels: /i, e, a, o/. After a detailed description of the vowels, we built and ran a behavioral experiment in which we asked native French speakers to categorize whistled vowel stimuli in which we introduced intra- and inter- production variations. In addition, half of the participants performed the experiment in person (at the laboratory) while the other half participated online, allowing us to evaluate the impact of the testing set up. Our results confirm that the categorization rate of whistled vowels is above chance. They reveal significant differences in performance for different vowels and suggest an influence of certain acoustic parameters from the whistlers’ vowel range on categorization. Moreover, no effect or interaction was found for testing location and circumstances in our data set. This study confirms that whistled stimuli are a useful tool for studying how listeners process modified speech and which parameters impact sound categorization.

Abstract: International audience; Despite the lack of clear word boundaries in spoken language, the human ability to recognize speech seems to be effortless. Listeners divide continuous speech into linguistically and psychologically significant units to access meaning. Speech segmentation has been proven to be affected by both the listeners’ sensitivity to acoustic cues and sub-phonemic properties (Davis et al. 2002; Mattys, 2004), and contextual information and lexical competition (Norris, 1994; Dahan & Brent, 1999). Fine acoustic details can influence word boundaries perception (Friederici & Wessels, 1993; Davis et al, 2002), particularly when contextual information is insufficient (Mattys et al. 2005). Yet, it remains unclear how low-level signals can affect higher-order information, i.e., how the speech recognition system reacts when exposed to unmatched acoustic and sentential information. We aimed to investigate the cost of mismatching the fine acoustic cues of the speech signal during sentence processing. More precisely, we wanted to explore whether and how such fine acoustic details affect semantic processing. In the present experiment, we recorded French sentences containing homophonic sequences, article+noun combinations that can be segmented differently, such as “l’affiche” (“the poster”) and “la fiche” (“the sheet”), both pronounced /lɑfiʃ/. We recorded the Event-Related brain Potentials (ERPs) to three different conditions: baseline, congruent, and incongruent, each of which comprised 46 sentences. To avoid differences, congruent and incongruent sentences were created by cross-splicing the article-noun sequences within sentences. For example, two meaningful sentences were selected for the pair “la fiche”-“l’affiche”: (1) “La secrétaire médicale a perdu la fiche du patient” (“The medical secretary lost the patient's chart”) and (2) “Le Théâtre National a choisi l'affiche du spectacle” (“The National Theatre has chosen the poster for the show”). We extracted “l’affiche” from (2) and placed it in (1), generating the incongruent (3) “La secrétaire médicale a perdu l’affiche du patient”. A similar manipulation was done for the congruent condition: we swapped the two “la fiche” from (1) and (4) “Le comptable rempli la fiche de ses employés” (“The accountant fills out his employee chart”). While sentences were not highly predictable, the congruent homophone choice was consistently more predictable than the incongruent. EEG data were acquired using Curry 8.0 XS software (Neuroscan SynAmps 2/RT; 64-electrode Quik-Cap Neo Net, adjusted to the International 10/20 standard system). We used EEGLAB toolbox (Delorme & Makeig, 2004) for offline analyses. Epochs were extracted from -200 to 1100 ms after stimulus onset, with a baseline period of -200 to 0 ms. Sources for each independent component were evaluated with ICLabel plugin (Pion-Tonachini et al., 2017). To assess for semantic processing differences, we focused our preliminary analyses on the N400 component and found a statistically significant effect of topographical distribution in our regions of interest (ROI) and an effect of interaction between conditions and ROIs. Topographic analyses revealed mean amplitude significant differences between frontal and parietal brain regions, suggesting the presence of an N400-like component in central to parietal sides. This would suggest that listeners consider fine acoustic cues when challenged with mismatching acoustic and sentential information.

Abstract: Background and aims: Children with developmental language disorder (DLD) often perform below their typically developing peers on verbal memory tasks. However, the picture is less clear on visual memory tasks. Research has generally shown that visual memory can be facilitated by verbal representations, but few studies have been conducted using visual materials that are not easy to verbalize. Therefore, we attempted to construct non-verbalizable stimuli to investigate the impact of working memory capacity. Method and results: We manipulated verbalizability in visual span tasks and tested whether minimizing verbalizability could help reduce visual recall performance differences across children with and without developmental language disorder. Visuals that could be easily verbalized or not were selected based on a pretest with non-developmental language disorder young adults. We tested groups of children with developmental language disorder (N.23) and their typically developing peers (N.65) using these high and low verbalizable classes of visual stimuli. The memory span of the children with developmental language disorder varied across the different stimulus conditions, but critically, although their storage capacity for visual information was virtually unimpaired, the children with developmental language disorder still had difficulty in recalling verbalizable images with simple drawings. Also, recalling complex (galaxy) images with low verbalizability proved difficult in both groups of children. An item-based analysis on correctly recalled items showed that higher levels of verbalizability enhanced visual recall in the typically developing children to a greater extent than the children with developmental language disorder. Conclusions and clinical implication: We suggest that visual short-term memory in typically developing children might be mediated with verbal encoding to a larger extent than in children with developmental language disorder, thus leading to poorer performance on visual capacity tasks. Our findings cast doubts on the idea that short-term storage impairments are limited to the verbal domain, but they also challenge the idea that visual tasks are essentially visual. Therefore, our findings suggest to clinicians working with children experiencing developmental language difficulties that visual memory deficits may not necessarily be due to reduced non-verbal skills but may be due to the high amount of verbal cues in visual stimuli, from which they do not benefit in comparison to their peers.

Abstract: Background Sentence repetition deficits have been shown to be critical in diagnosing primary progressive aphasia (PPA), particularly the logopenic variant, distinguishing its symptoms from other Alzheimer’s disease related dementias [1-3]. These impairments were found to be associated with working memory [4]. Method In the current preliminary study, to further investigate how sentence repetition is mediated in memory in PPA and AD, we used a spoken sentence-span task to examine groups of 6 French-speaking PPA (including lvPPA and non-fluent subtypes), 6 AD patients without aphasia, and 15 healthy ageing controls. The task required individuals to repeat meaningful French sentences with increasing number of content words ranging from three to nine. Each span of content words contained two items, and when the participants failed in repeating both items in one span, the task was terminated; when one item was incorrectly repeated half a point penalty was issued. Results Both the patient groups performed more poorly than healthy controls in all measures (ts>+/-3.27). A set of mixed-effects regression models showed that the PPA group had reduced sentence-span (MPPA=5.08 vs.MAD=5.66; ß=0.58, SE=0.16, t=3.53, 95%CIs[0.25,0.91]), greater difficulty repeating content words (MPPA= 44.33 vs.MAD=50.00; ß=5.66, SE=2.19, t=2.57, 95%CIs[-2.18,-0.48]), and elevated number of substitution errors (MPPA= 6.16 vs.MAD=4.83; ß=-1.33, SE=0.42, t=-3.10, 95%CIs[1.32,10.01]) compared to the AD group (Figure 1). No group differences were found in repetition duration standardized by number of content words. Conclusion We found that sentence repetition deficits in PPA have different characteristics than those in AD, submitting to earlier studies that associated PPA assessment with graphic markers [5]. We recommend clinicians to incorporate a sentence repetition task involving sentences with varying length and number of content words in their diagnostic assessment as this study suggests that working-memory intensive sentence repetition decline appears to be a neuropsychological clinical marker distinguishing cognitive profiles of PPA from AD patients.

Abstract: International audience; The objective of this work is to introduce text simplification as a potential reading aid to help improve the poor reading performance experienced by visually impaired individuals. As a first step, we explore what makes a text especially complex when read with low vision, by assessing the individual effect of three word properties (frequency, orthographic similarity and length) on reading speed in the presence of Central visual Field Loss (CFL). Individuals with bilateral CFL induced by macular diseases read pairs of French sentences displayed with the self-paced reading method. For each sentence pair, sentence n contained a target word matched with a synonym word of the same length included in sentence n+1. Reading time was recorded for each target word. Given the corpus we used, our results show that (1) word frequency has a significant effect on reading time (the more frequent the faster the reading speed) with larger amplitude (in the range of seconds) compared to normal vision; (2) word neighborhood size has a significant effect on reading time (the more neighbors the slower the reading speed), this effect being rather small in amplitude, but interestingly reversed compared to normal vision; (3) word length has no significant effect on reading time. Supporting the development of new and more effective assistive technology to help low vision is an important and timely issue, with massive potential implications for social and rehabilitation practices. The end goal of this project will be to use our findings to custom text simplification to this specific population and use it as an optimal and efficient reading aid.
