Understanding written sentences in a language learned at a later age is different from processing sentences in one's native language. This project aims to clarify what underlies this difference by testing to what extent a language learner's problems with sentence processing are related to 1) the lack of detailed word knowledge and rapid access word-level information, and 2) the reader's ability to suppress irrelevant information in general. Native speakers and second-language learners will be closely compared. The proposed project is a collaboration between the University of Florida (USA), the University of Utrecht (The Netherlands), and the Universidad De La Laguna (Spain), and will test native speakers of English, native speakers of Spanish, Dutch learners of English, and English learners of Spanish. Results from this project may lead to a better understanding of how second-language learners comprehend written language and why certain individuals experience more problems than others when learning a second language. Outcomes of this project may inform research on language education and intervention techniques. This will ultimately benefit minority populations learning English as a second language, as well as populations with language impairments. Finally, the project will be integrated into the linguistics curriculum at University of Florida and will create international research opportunities for students to gain hands-on experience with psycholinguistic and electrophysiological research.

理解在晚年学习的语言的书面句子与用母语处理句子是不同的。这个项目旨在通过测试语言学习者在句子处理方面的问题在多大程度上与1)缺乏详细的单词知识和快速获取单词级别的信息，以及2)读者总体上抑制无关信息的能力来阐明这种差异背后的原因。本族语者和第二语言学习者将被密切比较。拟议的项目是佛罗里达大学(美国)、乌得勒支大学(荷兰)和拉古纳大学(西班牙)之间的合作项目，将测试英语母语者、西班牙语母语者、荷兰语英语学习者和西班牙语英语学习者。这一项目的结果可能有助于更好地理解第二语言学习者如何理解书面语言，以及为什么某些人在学习第二语言时会比其他人遇到更多问题。这一项目的成果可能会为语言教育和干预技术的研究提供参考。这最终将使将英语作为第二语言学习的少数群体以及有语言障碍的人群受益。最后，该项目将被整合到佛罗里达大学的语言学课程中，并将为学生创造国际研究机会，以获得心理语言学和电生理学研究的实践经验。这项工作由SBE/BCS和国际科学与工程办公室共同资助
