Predicting while comprehending language: A theory and review.

MJ Pickering, C Gambi - Psychological bulletin, 2018 - psycnet.apa.org
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 …

Using computational models to test syntactic learnability

EG Wilcox, R Futrell, R Levy - Linguistic Inquiry, 2023 - direct.mit.edu

Linguistic complexity: Locality of syntactic dependencies

E Gibson - Cognition, 1998 - Elsevier
This paper proposes a new theory of the relationship between the sentence processing

An experimental approach to linguistic representation

HP Branigan, MJ Pickering - Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2017 - cambridge.org
Within the cognitive sciences, most researchers assume that it is the job of linguists to
investigate how language is represented, and that they do so largely by building theories …

What do RNN language models learn about filler-gap dependencies?

E Wilcox, R Levy, T Morita, R Futrell - arXiv preprint arXiv:1809.00042, 2018 - arxiv.org
RNN language models have achieved state-of-the-art perplexity results and have proven
useful in a suite of NLP tasks, but it is as yet unclear what syntactic generalizations they …
