Sentence processing selectivity in Broca's area: evident for structure but not syntactic movement [0.03%]
布罗卡区的语言处理选择性：对结构敏感而非语言运动
Corianne Rogalsky,Diogo Almeida,Jon Sprouse et al.
Corianne Rogalsky et al.
The role of Broca's area in sentence processing is hotly debated. Prominent hypotheses include that Broca's area supports sentence comprehension via syntax-specific processes ("syntactic movement" in particular), hierarchical structure buil...
Differential Allocation of Attention During Speech Perception in Monolingual and Bilingual Listeners [0.03%]
单语和双语听者在言语感知过程中注意力分配的差异性

Attention is required during speech perception to focus processing resources on critical information. Previous research has shown that bilingualism modifies attentional processing in nonverbal domains. The current study used event-related p...
ERP evidence for memory and predictive mechanisms in word-to-text integration [0.03%]
语义预测和整合机制的ERP证据

Joseph Z Stafura
During reading, word-to-text integration processes proceed quickly and incrementally through both prospective (predictive) and retrospective (memory) processes. Across a sentence boundary, where prediction may be less functional, memorial p...
Prediction in the Processing of Repair Disfluencies [0.03%]
语料库驱动的语言类型学研究杂谈——访美国科罗拉多大学Boulder校区Christian Mair教授
Matthew W Lowder,Fernanda Ferreira
Matthew W Lowder
Imagine a speaker who says "Turn left, uh I mean…" Before hearing the repair, the listener is likely to anticipate the word "right" based on the context, including the reparandum "left." Thus, even though the reparandum is not intended as ...

Speech perception involves prediction, but how is that prediction implemented? In cognitive models prediction has often been taken to imply that there is feedback of activation from lexical to pre-lexical processes as implemented in interac...
Structure, form, and meaning in the mental lexicon: evidence from Arabic [0.03%]
阿拉伯语的词库结构、形式和意义研究：来自阿拉伯语的证据
Sami Boudelaa,William D Marslen-Wilson
Sami Boudelaa
Does the organization of the mental lexicon reflect the combination of abstract underlying morphemic units or the concatenation of word-level phonological units? We address these fundamental issues in Arabic, a Semitic language where every ...
Studying the mechanisms of language learning by varying the learning environment and the learner [0.03%]
通过改变学习环境和学习者来研究语言学习机制
Susan Goldin-Meadow
Susan Goldin-Meadow
Language learning is a resilient process, and many linguistic properties can be developed under a wide range of learning environments and learners. The first goal of this review is to describe properties of language that can be developed wi...
Comprehending the impossible: what role do selectional restriction violations play? [0.03%]
理解不可能的事情：选择限制违反起了什么作用？
Tessa Warren,Evelyn Milburn,Nikole D Patson et al.
Tessa Warren et al.
To elucidate how different kinds of knowledge are used during comprehension, readers' eye movements were monitored as they read sentences that were: plausible, impossible because of a selectional restriction violation, or impossible because...
Reduction in Prosodic Prominence Predicts Speakers' Recall: Implications for Theories of Prosody [0.03%]
语调强度的降低预示说话者的记忆力：对语调理论的意义
Scott H Fraundorf,Duane G Watson,Aaron S Benjamin
Scott H Fraundorf
Repeated words are often reduced in prosodic prominence, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The present study contrasted two theories: does prosodic reduction reflect the choice of a particular linguistic form, or does ease of re...

We present six experiments that examine cumulative structural priming effects (i.e., structural priming effects that accumulate across many utterances). Of particular interest is whether (1) cumulative priming effects transfer across langua...
