This article presents the ENglish Reading Online (ENRO) project that offers data on English reading and listening comprehension from 7,338 university-level advanced learners and native speakers of English representing 19 countries. The database also includes estimates of reading rate and seven component skills of English, including vocabulary, spelling, and grammar, as well as rich demographic and language background data. We first demonstrate high reliability for ENRO tests and their convergent validity with existing meta-analyses. We then provide a bird's-eye view of first (L1) and second (L2) language comparisons and examine the relative role of various predictors of reading and listening comprehension and reading speed. Across analyses, we found substantially more overlap than differences between L1 and L2 speakers, suggesting that English reading proficiency is best considered across a continuum of skill, ability, and experiences spanning L1 and L2 speakers alike. We end by providing pointers for how researchers can mine ENRO data for future studies.

This article examines an underexplored aspect of French writer Georges Perec’s work: the
influence of the Algerian War (1954–1962) on his literary legacy. While his works contain almost no
direct mentions of the war, the article analyzes how this traumatic historical context permeates the themes,
structure, and style of his writing. It appears that the war provided a ...

This publication offers an annotated translation of Jacques Goar’s notes on the epiclesis from his Euchologion (1647). The translation is accompanied by an introduction that places Goar’s text within the historical and polemical context of Greco-Latin controversies on the moment of consecration, particularly the epiclesis debate at the Council of Florence (1439). Goar’s interpretation, rooted ...

Female aging is a unique cultural phenomenon intertwining universal biological mechanisms, the phenomenological experience of bodily transformation, and semiosis regarding age experience. Throughout their lives, women undergo significant changes in physicality, wherein aging emerges as a natural progression rather than a decline. In numerous traditional cultures, the transformations asso- ciated with female corporeality often remain ...

The article attempts to see the night landscape through the eyes of the author of a text that has long since become a school classic. The traditional interpretation ascribes a folk character to the poem, which Lermontov likely did not intend. A comparison with texts contemporary to the poet reveals that Lermontov's homeland is not ...

The article examines instances of inconsistent anaphoric article usage in the Gothic language. Gothic (4th century CE, East Germanic) exemplifies a language at the initial anaphoric stage of article grammaticalization, where the proto-article pronoun should appear consistently after a referent's first mention—yet violations occur. Beyond literature-documented cases involving locative nouns and terms for ‘multitudes’ of animate ...

The article analyzes the challenges and prospects of longitudinal research in the field of reading. It examines the systemic limitations of classical longitudinal designs: the problem of unobserved variables, causality, and violations of metric invariance, which lead to erroneous or incomplete interpretation of results. The transition to hybrid research designs is substantiated as a promising ...

Данное исследование фокусируется на раннем периоде творчества американского поэта Уоллеса Стивенса. Проведенный квантитативный анализ позволил определить доминанты метафорической системы этого периода творчества. Было установлено, что центральным смыслообразующим концептом в метафорике раннего творчества У. Стивенса выступает «СУЩЕСТВО». Исследование показывает, что поэтическая картина мира автора в этот период характеризуется тотальным панвитализмом – У. Стивенс наделяет атрибутами субъектности ...

Existing research indicates involvement of brain systems underpinning spatial abilities in processing emotive semantics in L1: positive emotions are associated with the right part of space, negative ones with the left. Some suggest similar sensorimotor activations in L1 and L2. Others indicate attenuated processing of L2 emotional words. Aims: We investigated differences in sensorimotor biases ...

Dyslexia, a common learning disability, requires an early diagnosis. However, current screening tests are very time- and resourceconsuming. We present an LSTM that aims to automatically classify dyslexia based on eye movements recorded during natural reading combined with basic demographic information and linguistic features. The proposed model reaches an AUC of 0.93 and outperforms the ...

Models of experience-dependent neuroplasticity predict that the acquisition and extensive use of a new skill trigger a nonlinear trajectory of neurostructural modifications, where initial expansion of relevant brain areas subsequently (once the skill is acquired) gives way to volumetric renormalization. Such predictions also apply in the domain of language during learning and/or simultaneous management of ...
