The New C Standard (Excerpted material) An Economic and Cultural Commentary (2008, unknown): “• A study by Malt and Sloman[219] asked second language users of English to name household objects (e.”
Language selectivity is the exception, not the rule: Arguments against a fixed locus of language selection in bilingual speech (2006, background): “3 The sustained consequences of cross-language permeability are also evident at other levels of bilingual performance and in the observation of language contact phenomena (e.g. Dussias, 2003; Malt and Sloman, 2003; Bullock and Toribio, 2004).”
Juggling Two Languages in One Mind (2008, background): “What we now know is that the bilingual is not two monolinguals in one (e.g., Grosjean, 1989; Malt & Sloman, 2003), with consequences not only for the L2 but also for the native language.”
Emotion and emotion-laden words in the bilingual lexicon (2008, background): “Some scholars, however, have argued that conceptual representations of abstract (De Groot, 1993) and concrete words (Paradis, 1997; Malt and Sloman, 2003; Ameel, Storms, Malt and Sloman, 2005) may vary across languages and that this variability needs to be taken into consideration in modeling the…”
Conceptual transfer: Crosslinguistic effects in categorization and construal* (2010, background): “…tasks involving similarity judgments (see the article in this issue by Athanasopoulos, Damjanovic, Krajciova and Sasaki), typicality judgments (e.g., Malt & Sloman, 2003), object categorization (e.g., Athanasopoulos & Kasai, 2008) and object naming (see the article by Pavlenko and Malt in this…”
Number of meanings and concreteness: Consequences of ambiguity within and across languages (2007, background): “However, languages often differ in how they label even common objects (eg, Malt & Sloman, 2003 ; Malt, Sloman, & Gennari, 2003 ).”
Cognitive representation of colour in bilinguals: The case of Greek blues* (2009, background): “…Takahashi, 2006; emotion: Pavlenko, 2005b, 2006; time: Boroditsky, 2001; gender: Boroditsky, Schmidt and Phillips, 2003; artefact naming and categorisation: Malt and Sloman, 2003; Ameel, Storms, Malt and Sloman, 2005; note also earlier work on person cognition by Hoffman, Lau and Johnson, 1986).”
Kitchen Russian: Cross-linguistic differences and first-language object naming by Russian–English bilinguals* (2010, background): “Although the data from both monolinguals and bilinguals just discussed suggest that mastery of L2 word-to-referent mappings will be difficult, the Malt and Sloman (2003) study nevertheless indicated that L2 users do make substantial progress toward this goal over a period of time.”
Object Naming and Later Lexical Development: From Baby Bottle to Beer Bottle. (2008, background): “Direct evidence for the complex learning trajectory of common nouns was provided by Malt and Sloman (2003).”
How bilinguals solve the naming problem (2005, methodology): “ Malt and Sloman (2003) suggested that people learning a second language might start the second language acquisition by importing the word–object mappings from L1 (see also Jiang, 2000; Kroll & Stewart, 1994; Potter et al., 1984).”
