Brain Mechanisms in Early Language Acquisition (2010, background): “learning studies (Bialystok and Hakuta, 1994; Birdsong and Molis, 2001; Flege et al., 1999; Johnson and Newport, 1989; Kuhl et al., 2005a, 2008; Mayberry and Lock, 2003; Neville et al., 1997; Weber-Fox and Neville, 1999; Yeni-Komshian et al., 2000; though see Birdsong, 1992; White and Genesee, 1996)”
Perceived foreign accent in first language attrition and second language acquisition: The impact of age of acquisition and bilingualism (2011, background): “In contrast, the ability to attain the native status in speech production after puberty is affected by the overall amount of use of the target language (see also Flege & Liu, 2001; Yeni-Komshian et al., 2000).”
Assessing bilingual dominance (2002, methodology): “This meant that, unlike groups of early bilinguals selected on the basis of AOA and L1 use (Flege et al., 1997; Guion et al., 2000; Piske et al., 2001; Yeni-Komshian et al., 2000), bilinguals selected on the basis of dominance in English did not have detectable foreign accents in English.”
Do Language Attitudes Determine Accent? A Study of Bilinguals in the USA (2007, background): “…observable constraints are a result of actual language experience, e.g. limited contact with native speakers resulting in a lack of interactive use of the target language, etc. (Flege & Liu, 2001; Jia & Aaronson, 1999; Moyer, 2004, 2007b, forthcoming a; Thompson, 1991; Yeni-Komshian et al., 2000).”
Interaction between the native and second language phonetic subsystems (2003, result): “These findings agreed with previous research examining the effect of age of L2 learning (Flege, 1992; Yamada, 1995; Munro et al., 1996; Flege et al., 1995a,b; Flege et al., 1999a; Meador et al., 2000; Yeni-Komshian et al., 2000; MacKay et al., 2001; MacKay et al., 2001; Piske et al., 2001, 2002) and”
Long-term language attainment of bilingual immigrants: Predictive variables and language group differences (2002, result): “These results are in accord with findings from previous studies using comparable tasks to simultaneously measure long-term L1 and L2 attainment in phonology (Flege et al., 1995; Yeni-Komshian et al., 2000) and lexicon (Kohnert et al., 1999; McElree et al., 2000).”
Problems with supposed counter-evidence to the Critical Period Hypothesis (2005, background): “However, to what extent are results obtained using controlled, elicited, often rehearsed, samples of performance in such studies (see, e.g., Bongaerts et al., 1997; Flege et al., 1995; Yeni-Komshian et al., 2000) acceptable as valid indicators of the same informants’ overall L2 abilities? Neufeld, a”
Language attrition and theories of forgetting: A cross-disciplinary review (2004, result): “More recent experimental studies yielded similar findings of reduced pronunciation accuracy in groups of Korean-English bilinguals (Yeni-Komshian et al., 2000) and Italian-English bilinguals (Flege, Munro, & MacKay, 1995) compared to monolingual control groups.”
Phonetic learning as a pathway to language: new data and native language magnet theory expanded (NLM-e) (2008, background): “…critical period have long been associated and many language scientists have discussed the issue (Lenneberg 1967; Johnson & Newport 1989; Bialystok & Hakuta 1994; Flege et al. 1999; Weber-Fox & Neville 1999; Yeni-Komshian et al. 2000; Birdsong & Molis 2001; Newport et al. 2001; Werker & Tees 2005).”
A longitudinal study of Chinese children and adolescents learning English in the United States (2003, background): “The above L1 and L2 proficiency changes are consistent with the arrival age– related L1–L2 proficiency crossover obtained from long-term attainment studies (e.g., Jia & Aaronson, 1999; Jia et al., 2002; Yeni–Komshian et al., 2000).”
Current Issues in Heritage Language Acquisition (2010, background): “Similar measurable nonnative effects in pronunciation of Korean as a heritage language are reported by Yeni-Komshian, Flege, and Liu (2000).”
