This book is about one of the most intriguing features of human communication systems: the
fact that words that go together in meaning can occur arbitrarily far away from each other. In …

This book examines a challenging problem at the intersection of theoretical linguistics and
the psychology of language: the interpretation of gradient judgments of sentence …

Taking part in a psycholinguistic study typically involves going to a university, meeting a
researcher and completing a computer task in a quiet laboratory cubicle under the …

Research on temporarily ambiguous “garden-path” sentences (eg, After Mary dressed the
baby laughed) has shown that initially assigned misinterpretations linger after reanalysis of …

Though past research on the sound structure of speech errors has contributed greatly to our
understanding of phonological encoding, most of this research comes from a small set of …

Studies on anticipatory processes during sentence comprehension often focus on the
prediction of postverbal direct objects. In subject-initial languages (the target of most studies …

Evidence from two experiments reveals that in Chamorro, a verb-first language, the
comprehension of relative clauses (RCs) is sensitive to the order of the RC with respect to …

In recent years, the field of psycholinguistics has seen an increased focus on the study of
typologically diverse languages. Expanding cross-linguistic coverage is critical to tease …

Research has shown that when processing filler-gap dependencies, comprehenders do not
wait until they encounter all of the bottom-up information in the input. Instead, they use …

Filler‐gap dependency resolution is often characterized as an active process. We probed
the mechanisms that determine where and why comprehenders posit gaps during …
