Abhinan Wongkittiporn – African Educational Research Journal, 2025
Writing a topic sentence is difficult, as a variety of linguistic knowledge is required to represent the main idea of the whole paragraph. This study applies the mechanism of A-movement in generative syntax to observe syntactic structures, semantic denotations and pragmatic aspects of topic sentences in applied linguistics research articles. The…

Andrés Buxó-Lugo; L. Robert Slevc – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
Interpreting a sentence can be characterized as a rational process in which comprehenders integrate linguistic input with top-down knowledge (e.g., plausibility). One type of evidence for this is that comprehenders sometimes reinterpret sentences to arrive at interpretations that conflict with the original language input. Does this reflect a…

Jie Song; Congcong Yang; Yichu Sun; Yunhua Qu; Kuizi Ma; Huiying Cai – SAGE Open, 2024
With the proliferation of corpora, various syntactic analysis methodologies have been developed. However, syntactic analysis of Chinese sentences demands a theory that focuses more on word order and the interaction between content and function words, which is satisfied by pattern grammar theory. This study investigates the effectiveness of pattern…

Cherish M. Sarmiento; Adrea J. Truckenmiller – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2024
Educators and researchers have been interested in supporting sentence-level language comprehension for struggling readers, but it has been challenging to research. To investigate the properties of sentences that might be useful targets for future research in instruction and assessment, we coded several features of the items in a computer-adaptive…

Analí Rosa Taboh; Diego Edgar Shalom; Belén Alvares; Carolina Andrea Gattei – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: Children with hearing loss (CHL) who use hearing devices (cochlear implants or hearing aids) and communicate orally have trouble comprehending sentences with noncanonical order. This study explores sentence comprehension strategies in Spanish-speaking CHL, focusing on their ability to integrate morphosyntactic cues (word order,…

Shawn M. Datchuk; Leah M. Zimmermann; Kyle Wagner; Apryl L. Poch – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2024
Many students with learning disabilities struggle with sentence writing fluency, the skill of quickly and accurately generating words that follow rules of semantics, spelling, syntax, and usage within sentence structures understandable to readers. Students who struggle with sentence writing fluency may face difficulty fully expressing their ideas…

Justin B. Kueser; Arielle Borovsky; Patricia Deevy; Mine Muezzinoglu; Claney Outzen; Laurence B. Leonard – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: Children with developmental language disorder (DLD) tend to interpret noncanonical sentences like passives using event probability (EP) information regardless of structure (e.g., by interpreting "The dog was chased by the squirrel" as "The dog chased the squirrel"). Verbs are a major source of EP information in adults…

Teresa Girolamo; Samantha Ghali; Caroline Larson – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: Despite the clinical utility of sentence production and sentence repetition to identify language impairment in autism, little is known about the extent to which these tasks are sensitive to potential language variation. One promising method is strategic scoring, which has good clinical utility for identifying language impairment in…

Orth, Wesley; Yoshida, Masaya; Sloggett, Shayne – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Illusions of grammaticality have often been used to probe the properties of the human sentence processor in syntactic activities like subject--verb agreement, reflexive binding, and negative polarity item (NPI) licensing. Originally, NPI licensing in processing was thought to be a product of cue-based retrieval. Mounting evidence that the NPI…

Thomas E. Malloy; Beverly Goldfield; Avraham N. Kluger – International Journal of Listening, 2024
Communication Accommodation Theory (CAT) predicts that people adjust their language to match that of the other to promote comprehension, coordinate action, and facilitate harmonious relationships. CAT predicts that mothers will adjust their sentence length and complexity to match those of children. Prior tests of CAT confounded trait-like language…

Prasad, Grusha; Linzen, Tal – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Temporarily ambiguous sentences that are disambiguated in favor of a less preferred parse are read more slowly than their unambiguous counterparts. This slowdown is referred to as a "garden path effect." Recent self-paced reading studies have found that this effect decreased over the course of the experiment as participants were exposed…

Tal Ness; Valerie J. Langlois; Albert E. Kim; Jared M. Novick – Perspectives on Psychological Science, 2025
Understanding language requires readers and listeners to cull meaning from fast-unfolding messages that often contain conflicting cues pointing to incompatible ways of interpreting the input (e.g., "The cat was chased by the mouse"). This article reviews mounting evidence from multiple methods demonstrating that cognitive control plays…

Garrido Rodriguez, Gabriela; Norcliffe, Elisabeth; Brown, Penelope; Huettig, Falk; Levinson, Stephen C. – Cognitive Science, 2023
We present a visual world eye-tracking study on Tseltal (a Mayan language) and investigate whether verbal information can be used to anticipate an upcoming referent. Basic word order in transitive sentences in Tseltal is Verb--Object--Subject (VOS). The verb is usually encountered first, making argument structure and syntactic information…

Danielle Brimo; Kavi Nallamala; Krystal L. Werfel – Topics in Language Disorders, 2023
The purpose of this study was to compare the types of morphological and syntactic errors in written simple and complex sentences produced by children with developmental language disorder (DLD) and children with typical language (TL). We analyzed the writing products of 30 children with DLD and 33 children with TL for morphological (e.g., past…

Ainur K. Moldabayeva; Laura A. Butabayeva; Gulnaz T. Kulnazarova; Lazzat M. Tulepova; Mira A. Magnurova – Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal, 2024
The study described in this article evaluates the effectiveness of methods of improving phonetic, grammatical, and syntactic skills in children with general speech underdevelopment in a bilingual environment. The method is based on a theoretical study of severe speech disorders, a structural analysis of linguistic samples, and a comparative study…
