Investigation of Lexical and Inflectional Verb Production and Comprehension in French-Speaking Teenagers with Developmental Language Disorders (DLDs).

Behavioral sciences (Basel, Switzerland)·2025

Area of Science:

  • Psycholinguistics
  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Lexical Processing

Background:

  • The organization of the mental lexicon is crucial for language processing.
  • Understanding verb reading in second language learners provides insights into lexical access and organization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate verb reading frequency and regularity in DLI francophones.
  • To compare the mental lexicon organization of DLI francophones with control participants.

Main Methods:

  • A verb reading task was administered to DLI and control participants.
  • Response latencies and accuracy rates for frequent and infrequent verb inflections were measured.

Main Results:

  • DLI francophones were slower in reading verbs than controls, despite higher accuracy.
  • DLI participants showed increased errors on less frequent inflections, unlike controls.
  • Regular verbs were read more slowly by DLI participants compared to irregular verbs.

Conclusions:

  • DLI francophones demonstrate qualitatively different word reading patterns than native speakers.
  • Verb reading characteristics suggest unique mental lexicon organization in DLI learners.
