Researchers agree that comprehenders regularly predict upcoming language, but they do
not always agree on what prediction is (and how to differentiate it from integration) or what …

Abstract Information‐theoretical complexity metrics are auxiliary hypotheses that link
theories of parsing and grammar to potentially observable measurements such as reading …

We consider several key aspects of prediction in language comprehension: its
computational nature, the representational level (s) at which we predict, whether we use …

Surprisal theory posits that less-predictable words should take more time to process, with
word predictability quantified as surprisal, ie, negative log probability in context. While …

It is well-known in statistics (eg, Gelman & Carlin, 2014) that treating a result as publishable
just because the p-value is less than 0.05 leads to overoptimistic expectations of …

The disambiguation of a syntactically ambiguous sentence in favor of a less preferred parse
can lead to slower reading at the disambiguation point. This phenomenon, referred to as a …

A recent trend in psycholinguistic research has been to posit prediction as an essential
function of language processing. The present paper develops a linguistic perspective on …

Prediction in language processing has been a topic of major interest in psycholinguistics for
at least the last two decades, but most investigations focus on semantic rather than syntactic …

With a strong focus on interdisciplinarity, the handbook surveys concepts and methods in
neighbouring disciplines that are concerned with cognition and how they relate to …

This paper discusses a variety of potential shortcomings of most of the most widely-used
association measures as used in collocation research and collostructional analyses. To …
