Qiu, Zhuang; Ferreira, Fernanda – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2022
This article presents a series of three experiments investigating the processing of nested epistemic expressions, utterances containing two epistemic modals in one clause, such as "he 'certainly may' have forgotten." While some linguists claim that in a nested epistemic expression one modal is semantically embedded within the scope of…

To Put It Differently: A Cross-Disciplinary Investigation of Reformulation Markers in Student Essays
Barabadi, Elyas; Golparvar, Seyyed Ehsan; Arghavan, Amanollah – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2021
This study examined the forms and functions of reformulation markers (RMs) in the three disciplines of philosophy, economics, and biology to see whether there is any disciplinary variation regarding these linguistic devices and their functions in essays written by undergraduate students. To this purpose, two corpora of university students' essays…

Holtgraves, Thomas; Jenkins, Elizabeth – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2020
Two experiments were conducted to examine the production and detection of common, everyday deception. Experiment 1 was a naturalistic study in which participants provided their most recent truthful and deceptive (both sent and received) text messages. Participants in Experiment 2 were asked to generate text messages that were either deceptive or…

Sonia, Allison N.; Magliano, Joseph P.; McCarthy, Kathryn S.; Creer, Sarah D.; McNamara, Danielle S.; Allen, Laura, K. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2022
The constructed responses individuals generate while reading can provide insights into their coherence-building processes. The current study examined how the cohesion of constructed responses relates to performance on an integrated writing task. Participants (N = 95) completed a multiple document reading task wherein they were prompted to think…

Robinson, Michael D.; Persich, Michelle R.; Sjoblom-Schmidt, Simona; Penzel, Ian B. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2020
Romantic relationships vary in quality, and the purpose of the present investigation was to examine a wide scope of linguistic variables as possible markers of this variability. Ninety-six undergraduate students within committed romantic relationships were asked to write freely about their partnership, following which they reported on relationship…

Schramm, Andreas; Haser, Verena; Mensink, Michael C.; Reifenrath, Jonas; Kassemi, Parinaz – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2022
This research addresses implicit learning of temporal meanings in English by adult non-native readers of German, a language without morphosyntactic imperfective aspect. Twenty-four learners from mixed first languages participated in a norming study assessing unenhanced aspect awareness. Then, in a second experiment, 91 native-German learners…

Brunetti, Lisa; Mayol, Laia; Villalba, Xavier – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2020
Three experimental studies are presented testing the choice of a left or a right dislocation in Catalan, depending on the bridging relation between the dislocate and its antecedent. We make the hypothesis that the stronger the anaphoric link between the dislocate and its antecedent, the more appropriate a right dislocation is, whereas the opposite…

Schleicher, Karly M.; Schwartz, Ana I. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2022
In the present study we examined whether overlap in language across texts influences the integration of information into a coherent discourse representation for bilingual readers. Across two experiments highly proficient Spanish--English bilinguals read pairs of expository passages describing two fictional science facts while their eye-movements…

D'Mello, Sidney K.; Southwell, Rosy; Gregg, Julie – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2020
We propose that machine-learned computational models (MLCMs), in which the model parameters and perhaps even structure are learned from data, can complement extant approaches to the study of text and discourse. Such models are particularly useful when theoretical understanding is insufficient, when the data are rife with nonlinearities and…

Delogu, Francesca; Jachmann, Torsten; Staudte, Maria; Vespignani, Francesco; Molinaro, Nicola – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2020
Questions under Discussion (QUDs) have been suggested to influence the integration of individual utterances into a discourse-level representation. Previous work has shown that processing ungrammatical ellipses is facilitated when the elided material addresses an implicit QUD raised through a nonactuality implicature (NAIs). It is not clear,…

Hessel, Annina K.; Schroeder, Sascha – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2020
This experiment investigated interactions between lower- and higher-level processing when reading in a second language (L2). We conducted an eye-tracking experiment with the within-subject manipulation inconsistency (to tap higher-level coherence-building) crossed with a within-subject manipulation of word-processing difficulty (to alter the ease…

Didirková, Ivana; Crible, Ludivine; Simon, Anne Catherine – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2019
We report on three experiments that aim at measuring the role of prosody in the acceptability and interpretation of discourse relations between utterances connected by two French discourse markers, viz. "et" "and" and "alors" "then/well." These two discourse markers are highly polyfunctional: "et"…

Vogelzang, Margreet; Foppolo, Francesca; Guasti, Maria Teresa; van Rijn, Hedderik; Hendriks, Petra – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2020
Different words generally have different meanings. However, some words seemingly share similar meanings. An example are null and overt pronouns in Italian, which both refer to an individual in the discourse. Is the interpretation and processing of a form affected by the existence of another form with a similar meaning? With a pupillary response…

Karimi, Mohammad N.; Richter, Tobias – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2021
Readers are expected to construct balanced mental representations of socioscientific issues discussed across controversial documents. However, readers tend to be biased toward documents that present belief-consistent perspectives and tend to refute documents that argue against their stance (text-belief consistency effect). Published studies on…
