It is generally assumed that bare numerals (e.g., "three") have two readings: the "exactly" and the "at least" reading. It has been a matter of debate whether one of these two readings is derived from the other pragmatically. To shed light on this question research has aimed at characterizing the processing demands…

Bader, Markus; Meng, Michael – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
Most current models of sentence comprehension assume that the human parsing mechanism (HPM) algorithmically computes detailed syntactic representations as basis for extracting sentence meaning. These models share the assumption that the representations computed by the HPM accurately reflect the linguistic input. This assumption has been challenged…

The experiments tested the assumption that the influence of grammatical number…

In the current study we tested whether young German children of this same age have this same understanding.…
