UNLABELLED: Numerous studies in the bilingual literature have shown that cognitive control adapts to several factors related to second language (L2) learning. However, whether third language (L3) learning influences cognitive control remains underexplored. In this longitudinal study, we analyzed behavioral performance…

AIM: The purpose of this study was to systematically analyze the research status and development trends in the field of postgraduate education in nursing through visual analysis. METHODS: We conducted a comprehensive online search of English literature via citation index extensions in the Web of Science Core Collectio…

Language is our primary tool for communication and a salient component of acculturation status among Hispanic populations. Importantly, language is associated with behavioral health outcomes and can identify and confront health disparities among Hispanic adolescents. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the associ…

BACKGROUND: Ignoring the cultural factors that can affect performance on cognitive tests may result in use of tests that have not been validated for that group. One example is testing of Haitian Creole speaking adults who are increasingly affected by Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, for whom few tests have be…

BACKGROUND: In health news production, sourcing and framing are two critical mechanisms that influence how newsreaders think about and perceive the severity of a health issue. Understanding how local media covers the cancer control continuum is vital. However, very limited studies have looked at the effect of sourcing…

PURPOSE: The Traumatic Injuries Distress Scale is a patient-reported measure capturing experiences of distress following non-catastrophic musculoskeletal injuries. The original English version has shown adequate accuracy for predicting recovery trajectories up to 12 months later. Herein we describe the translati…

BACKGROUND: Academic pharmacy programs continue to diversify in student population. While the challenges of non-native language speakers have been opined, there is scant research on their performance in comparison with native language speakers nor is there much information on differences in the processes used in academ…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the English and non-English language performance of deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) children raised in homes where English was not the primary language to their typically hearing peers from similar language backgrounds. METHODS: Case control study of bilingual DHH children with unilateral or bilate…

INTRODUCTION: Patients with limited English language proficiency have indicated that they believe post-operative instructions written in their native language will improve comprehension over verbal translation alone, but the effect of this has not been previously studied. We hypothesize that providing written discharge…

BACKGROUND: The Movement Disorders Society (MDS) published the English new Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) as the official benchmark scale for Parkinson's disease (PD) in 2008. We aimed to validate the Hebrew version of the MDS-UPDRS, explore its dimensionality and compare it to the original Englis…

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to describe normative and validation data on the Intelligibility in Context Scale (ICS; McLeod, Harrison, & McCormack, 2012c) for English-speaking children. METHOD: The ICS is a 7-item, parent-report measure of children's speech intelligibility with a range of communicative partn…

BACKGROUND: Provider elicitation of parent developmental and behavioral (DB) concerns is the foundation of DB surveillance. Language differences may affect whether providers assess parental DB concerns. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare children in English versus Spanish primary language households by ri…

Vowel letters are a source of difficulty in reading English words, for they have both long and short pronunciations. In two studies, we examined how vowels are pronounced before different types of medial consonants in the words of English and the degree to which skilled readers follow those vocabulary statistics in the…

ArzEn-MultiGenre is a parallel dataset of Egyptian Arabic song lyrics, novels, and TV show subtitles that are manually translated and aligned with their English counterparts. The dataset contains 25,557 segment pairs that can be used to benchmark new machine translation models, fine-tune large language models in few-sh…

Medical ontologies are mostly available in English. This presents a language barrier that is a limitation in research and automated processing of patient data. The manual translation of ontologies is complex and time-consuming. However, there are commercial translation tools that have shown promising results in the fie…
