This study was conducted to develop the Perceived Language Discrimination (PLD) scale across three samples of international students. In Sample 1 (N = 224), the seven items of the PLD were selected (α = .94) through an exploratory factor analysis. In Sample 2, a confirmatory factor analysis (N = 222) provided a c…

PURPOSE: Cross-linguistic cognates are words that share form and meaning in two languages (e.g., helicopter-helicóptero); translation equivalents are words that share meaning but not form (e.g., house-casa). Research consistently demonstrates a performance speed and/or accuracy advantage for processing cognates ve…

Comparisons of word and picture processing using event-related potentials (ERPs) are contaminated by gross physical differences between the two types of stimuli. In the present study, we tackle this problem by comparing picture processing with word processing in an alphabetic and a logographic script, that are also cha…

BACKGROUND: The subjective experiences of patients with little or no English who either attended the Emergency Department or were admitted to the wards of a tertiary referral hospital were explored.

Forty-five American and English doctors were surveyed to determine whether differences in their beliefs about the incidence and morbidity of complications and the role of testing for patients with chronic hypertension could be contributing to the large cross-national differences previously demonstrated in ambulatory te…

Advances in computer-aided translation technology have made tremendous progress in accuracy in the past few years. Chemical Abstracts Service of the American Chemical Society summarizes scientific works from more than 50 languages and allows the users to search papers in nine selected languages. Currently, only the abs…

Monitoring marine phytoplankton is essential to understanding marine ecosystems functioning, especially in productive regions like the English Channel. This study applied high-throughput sequencing (HTS) and automated pulse shape-recording flow cytometry (PSR FCM) to investigate the spatial and seasonal variability of…

INTRODUCTION: Appendectomies are one of the most common pediatric surgical procedures. Limited English proficiency (LEP) may lead to disparities in health outcomes between English-proficient and LEP patients. This study assesses the association between LEP and postoperative outcomes in pediatric appendectomy. METHODS:…
