Research Sketches & Plain Language Abstracts

Words in the World hosts two types of accessible research information: Research Sketches and Plain Language Abstracts.

Research Sketches

Words in the World Research Sketches highlight research across the network in an accessible format, with links to the original publications for further reading. Each Research Sketch summarizes the research in plain language, presents an abstract, and provides a link to the full publication. All Research Sketches have been provided by authors who are members of the Words in the World Network. The authors have submitted their information to this site in order to enhance opportunities for research synergies and for knowledge mobilization. If you are a member of the Words in the World network and would like your research to be highlighted here, you can find the Research Sketch submission form here.

Explore currently available research sketches by language (English, Finnish, French, Italian), method (eye-tracking, lexical decision, priming), or population (adults, children), or view the entire list here.

Plain Language Abstracts

Part of the training initiative mandate set out by Words in the World is to provide knowledge translation and knowledge mobilization opportunities for our trainees. These plain-language abstracts have been written by student trainees at the Centre for Advanced Research in Experimental and Applied Linguistics (ARiEAL), at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, as part of this mandate. As part of this training project, they have taken articles written by WOW collaborators and created plain-language abstracts targeted at non-experts, including the general public and researchers from other fields.

You can explore by language (English, Finnish, French, German, Japanese), method (Corpus/Mega-Study, EEG/ERP, eye-tracking, fMRI, lexical decision, priming, production, ratings) or population (children, teens, adults, older adults). You can also view the complete list here.
