The activation of inappropriate analyses in garden-path sentences: Evidence from structural priming

Article Abstract:

The temporarily ambiguous sentences are investigated and results support the initial inappropriate analysis remains activated either because it leaves a memory trace or due to the absence of reanalysis of the sentence by the reader. The initial, inappropriate analysis of garden-path sentences remains activated, using a method that does not require metalinguistic judgments about the sentences, which is proved by the experiments conducted.

Cross-linguistic priming of syntactic hierarchical configuration information

Article Abstract:

Experiments were conducted to look at the priming of syntactic information that is unrelated to lexical entries, namely relative clause attachments. It was found that relative clause attachments can be primed from Dutch to English in Dutch-English bilinguals and that these findings are evidence for priming of syntactic information that is not related to lexical entries.

Planning causes and consequences in discourse

Article Abstract:

The planning of cause and consequence in language production by examining participants' continuations to discourse fragments in four experiments is investigated. The studies indicate that the content of the continuation, and the association between the continuation and prior text, are influenced by the nature of prior discourse.
