A principle of efficient language production based on information theoretic considerations is
proposed: Uniform Information Density predicts that language production is affected by a …

The P600 is an event-related brain potential (ERP) typically associated with the processing
of grammatical anomalies or incongruities. A similar response has also been observed in …

In a corpus analysis of spontaneous speech Jaeger and Snider (2007) found that the
strength of structural priming is correlated with verb alternation bias. This finding is …

Studies from many languages consistently report that subject relative clauses (SR) are
easier to process than object relatives (OR). However, Hsiao and Gibson (2003) report an …

Computational psycholinguistics is concerned with the development of computational
models of the cognitive mechanisms and representations that underlie language processing …

We present a hierarchical Bayesian framework for modeling the acquisition of verb
argument constructions. It embodies a domain-general approach to learning higher-level …

Processing of lexical verbs involves automatic access to argument structure entries entailed
within the verb's representation. Recent neuroimaging studies with young normal listeners …

Human language understanding has a very remarkable property. Seemingly effortlessly, we
mentally structure the plot of the incoming linguistic material, by encoding and ordering …

Usage-based approaches to language acquisition argue that children acquire the grammar
of their target language using general-cognitive learning principles. The current paper …

This event-related potential study examined how the human brain integrates (i) structural
preferences,(ii) lexical biases, and (iii) prosodic information when listeners encounter …
