Structural priming during comprehension: A pattern from many pieces

KM Tooley - Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2023 - Springer
Syntactic/structural priming has been shown to take place during comprehension. However,
early comprehension findings revealed discrepancies with those in production, such as little …

What do we mean by prediction in language comprehension?

GR Kuperberg, TF Jaeger - Language, cognition and neuroscience, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
We consider several key aspects of prediction in language comprehension: its
computational nature, the representational level (s) at which we predict, whether we use …

A meta-analysis of syntactic priming in language production

K Mahowald, A James, R Futrell, E Gibson - Journal of Memory and …, 2016 - Elsevier
We performed an exhaustive meta-analysis of 73 peer-reviewed journal articles on syntactic
priming from the seminal Bock (1986) paper through 2013. Extracting the effect size for each …

Usage-based construction grammar

H Diessel - Handbook of cognitive linguistics, 2015 - degruyter.com
The general goal of research on grammar in cognitive linguistics is to develop a framework
for the analysis of linguistic structure that is grounded in general cognitive processes, ie …

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 …

Grammatical gender in adult L2 acquisition: Relations between lexical and syntactic variability

H Hopp - Second Language Research, 2013 - journals.sagepub.com
In order to identify the causes of inflectional variability in adult second-language (L2)
acquisition, this study investigates lexical and syntactic aspects of gender processing in real …

Pre‐processing in sentence comprehension: Sensitivity to likely upcoming meaning and structure

KA DeLong, M Troyer, M Kutas - Language and linguistics …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
For more than a decade, views of sentence comprehension have been shifting toward wider
acceptance of a role for linguistic pre‐processing–that is, anticipation, expectancy,(neural) …

How abstract is syntax? Evidence from structural priming

J Ziegler, G Bencini, A Goldberg, J Snedeker - Cognition, 2019 - Elsevier
Abstract In 1990, Bock and Loebell found that passives (eg, The 747 was radioed by the
airport's control tower) can be primed by intransitive locatives (eg, The 747 was landing by …

A neural model of adaptation in reading

M Van Schijndel, T Linzen - arXiv preprint arXiv:1808.09930, 2018 - arxiv.org
It has been argued that humans rapidly adapt their lexical and syntactic expectations to
match the statistics of the current linguistic context. We provide further support to this claim …

Using priming to uncover the organization of syntactic representations in neural language models

G Prasad, M Van Schijndel, T Linzen - arXiv preprint arXiv:1909.10579, 2019 - arxiv.org
Neural language models (LMs) perform well on tasks that require sensitivity to syntactic
structure. Drawing on the syntactic priming paradigm from psycholinguistics, we propose a …
