Kaiser, Elsi – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2011
We report three experiments on reference resolution in Dutch. The results of two off-line experiments and an eye-tracking study suggest that the interpretation of different referential forms--in particular, "emphatic" strong pronouns, weak pronouns, and demonstrative pronouns--cannot be satisfactorily explained in terms of a single…

Breen, Mara; Watson, Duane G.; Gibson, Edward – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2011
This paper evaluates two classes of hypotheses about how people prosodically segment utterances: (1) meaning-based proposals, with a focus on Watson and Gibson's (2004) proposal, according to which speakers tend to produce boundaries before and after long constituents; and (2) balancing proposals, according to which speakers tend to produce…

Hermans, Daan; Ormel, E.; van Besselaar, Ria; van Hell, Janet – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2011
Is the bilingual language production system a dynamic system that can operate in different language activation states? Three experiments investigated to what extent cross-language phonological co-activation effects in language production are sensitive to the composition of the stimulus list. L1 Dutch-L2 English bilinguals decided whether or not a…

In a first set of experiments, stimulus pairs co-varying in morphological decomposability and in semantic and orthographic…

Roelofs, Ardi – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2007
Simple name-retrieval models of spoken word planning (Bloem & La Heij, 2003; Starreveld & La Heij, 1996) maintain (1) that there are two levels in word planning, a conceptual and a lexical phonological level, and (2) that planning a word in both object naming and oral reading involves the selection of a lexical phonological representation.…
