Direct linkLiter, Adam; Heffner, Christopher C.; Schmitt, Cristina – Language Learning and Development, 2017
We present an artificial language experiment investigating (i) how speakers of languages such as English with two-way obligatory distinctions between singular and plural learn a system where singular and plural are only optionally marked, and (ii) how learners extend their knowledge of the plural morpheme when under the scope of negation without…

de los Santos, Guadalupe; Boland, Julie E.; Lewis, Richard L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Although bilingual individuals know 2 languages, research suggests that the languages are not separate in the mind. This is especially evident when a bilingual individual switches languages midsentence, indicating that mental representations are, to some degree, overlapping or integrated across the 2 languages. In 2 eye-tracking experiments, we…

Minimal Attachment predicts that the ambiguous noun phrase "the pan" will be interpreted as a noun-phrase coordination structure because it is syntactically simpler than clausal coordination. Constraint-based…

Syrett, Kristen; Lidz, Jeffrey – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2009
We show that 4-year-olds assign the correct interpretation to antecedent-contained deletion (ACD) sentences because they have the correct representation of these structures. This representation involves Quantifier Raising (QR) of a Quantificational Noun Phrase (QNP) that must move out of the site of the verb phrase in which it is contained to…

Wurm, Lee H.; Vakoch, Douglas A.; Seaman, Sean R. – Language and Speech, 2004
Until recently most models of word recognition have assumed that semantic effects come into play only after the identification of the word in question. What little evidence exists for early semantic effects in word recognition has relied primarily on priming manipulations using the lexical decision task, and has used visual stimulus presentation.…
