Digging up the building blocks of language: Age-of-acquisition effects for multiword phrases (2017, background): “Priva, 2013) and show better memory of them (Tremblay et al., 2011), an effect that is not reducible to the frequency of individual substrings.”
What Do We (Think We) Know About Formulaic Language? An Evaluation of the Current State of Play (2012, background): “In short, we have an increasing body of evidence that instructed L2 learners have an impoverished stock of formulaic expressions, and some indications from psycholinguistic and neurological measurements that aspects of the processing are different in L2 learners (e.g., Ellis, Simpson-Vlach, & Maynar”
Consequences of the Now-or-Never bottleneck for signed versus spoken languages (2015, background): “…studies showing sensitivity to multiword sequences in online processing (e.g., Arnon & Snider 2010; Reali & Christiansen 2007b; Siyanova-Chanturia et al. 2011; Tremblay & Baayen 2010; Tremblay et al. 2011), and subsequently further integrated with pragmatic context into discourse-level structures.”
The idiom principle revisited (2014, unknown): “In a study using comparable stimuli and a self-paced reading paradigm, Tremblay et al. (2011) compared the processing of sentences that contained lexical bundles (e.g. in the middle of the) and matched control phrases (e.g. in the front of the) (lexical bundles were defined as frequently recurring…”
