Mental Lexicon, Working Memory and L2 (English) Vocabulary in Polish Students with and without Dyslexia by Marta Łockiewicz, Martyna Jaskulska

“…We found that students with dyslexia exhibited deficits in the speed of access to data from the mental lexicon. The predictive function of memory for vocabulary was more conspicuous in the control group; in the criterion group, the result might constitute a risk factor for L2 vocabulary acquisition in dyslexia, which may manifest with increased proficiency in word knowledge. …”

Phonotactic constraints in cognitive phonology by Riitta Välimaa-Blum

“…Consequently, phonotactic constraints, which pertain to meaningless units, would constitute no independent knowledge base either. Also, languages are learned in function of their actual use, and negative phonotactic constraints, characterizing something that cannot be said, must be excluded on these grounds as well from a speaker’s grammar since it would be difficult to learn them in the absence of positive data (Taylor 2002). …”
