RJ Hartsuiker, S Bernolet - Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2017 - cambridge.org

S Bernolet, RJ Hartsuiker, MJ Pickering - Cognition, 2013 - Elsevier
Studies on cross-linguistic syntactic priming suggest that bilinguals can share syntactic
representations across languages (eg, Hartsuiker, Pickering, & Veltkamp, 2004). But how …

Four cross-linguistic structural priming experiments with multilinguals investigated whether
syntactic representations for different languages are shared or separate and whether such …

Is young children's passive syntax semantically constrained? Evidence from syntactic priming

K Messenger, HP Branigan, JF McLean… - Journal of Memory and …, 2012 - Elsevier
Previous research suggests that English-speaking children comprehend agent–patient verb

Does verb bias modulate syntactic priming?

S Bernolet, RJ Hartsuiker - Cognition, 2010 - Elsevier
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 …

Mapping concepts to syntax: Evidence from structural priming in Mandarin Chinese

ZG Cai, MJ Pickering, HP Branigan - Journal of Memory and Language, 2012 - Elsevier
