The use of (large) language models has become quite common in psycholinguistics. Most of this research is restricted to “monolingual” language processing. In my talk I will discuss how language models can help the psycholinguistics of second-language sentence processing and vice versa, some of the insights yielded thus far, and remaining challenges, focusing on lexical processing and the processing of dependencies.
