We investigate the role of two possible sets of factors, cognitive and social, in modulating an
individual's linguistic context-sensitivity: the capacity of a neurocognitive system to identify …

Human languages exhibit both striking diversity and abstract commonalities. Whether these
commonalities are shaped by potentially universal principles of human information …

While theories on predictive processing posit that predictions are based on one's prior
experiences, experimental work has effectively ignored the fact that people differ from each …

The Interface Principle posits that morphosyntactic variation does not elicit the same kinds of
perceptual reactions as phonetic variables because “members of the speech community …

We investigated individual differences in processing the social dimensions of speech,
addressing whether the degree of implicit stereotypical attitude towards language variants …

Since Saussure, the relationship between the sound and the meaning of words has been
regarded as largely arbitrary. Here, however, we show that a probabilistic relationship exists …

Usage‐based models posit that people are highly sensitive to the socially and linguistically
rich structures that permeate language practice, and that they use their dynamic knowledge …

Sociolinguistics has examined mental organization of language only sporadically.
Meanwhile, areas of linguistics that deal with cognitive organization seldom delve deeply …

This paper investigates the extent to which listeners are cued into the systematicity of
variability in speech, particularly the grammatical conditioning constraints of the English …

We advance theory formation in cognitive sociolinguistics by exploring the extent to which
language users' probabilistic grammar varies regionally. For this purpose, we investigate the …
