Cognitive Load Reduces Perceived Linguistic Convergence Between Dyads.

Over time, American Sign Language (ASL) has accommodated itself to the production and perception requirements o...

For second-language (L2) learners, quantity is often difficult to master if speech-sound duration plays a less important role in the phonology of their native language (L1). By comparing the categoriz...
