Haiquan Huang; Hui Cheng; Lina Qian; Yixiong Chen; Peng Zhou – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2024
"Wh"-words have been analysed as existential quantifiers (Chierchia in Logic in grammar: polarity, free choice, and intervention. Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2013; Fox, in Sauerland U, Stateva P (eds) Presupposition and implicature in compositional semantics (Palgrave studies in pragmatics, language and cognition).

Wang, Shenshen; Sun, Chao; Tian, Ye; Breheny, Richard – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2021
In the long history of psycholinguistic research on verifying negative sentences, an often-reported finding is that participants take longer to correctly judge negative sentences true than false, while being faster to judge their positive counterparts true (e.g. Clark & Chase, Cogn Psychol 3(3):472-517, 1972; Carpenter & Just, Psychol Rev…

Tamaoka, Katsuo; Ito, Takane; Mansbridge, Michael P. – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2022
The present study investigated the canonical position of instrumental and locative adverbial phrases in both Japanese sentences and noun phrases to determine whether the canonical positions are parallel. A series of sentence/phrase decision tasks were used to compare sentences with different word-orders, including sentences with SA"dv"OV…

Young people use slang for identifying themselves with a particular social group, gaining social recognition and respect from that group, and expressing their emotional state. One feature of Internet slang is its active use by youth in online communication, which, under certain conditions, may cause problematic Internet use (PIU). We conducted two…

Cheng, Yesi; Rothman, Jason; Cunnings, Ian – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2022
The present study employed a self-paced reading task in conjunction with concurrent acceptability judgements to examine how similar or different English natives and Chinese learners of English are when processing non-local agreement. We also tested how determiner-number specification modulates number agreement computation in both native and…

Kim, Hyunwoo; Shin, Gyu-Ho – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2021
Attraction effects arise when a comprehender erroneously retrieves a distractor instead of a target item during memory retrieval operations. In Korean, considerable processing difficulties occur in the agreement relation checking between a subject and an honorific-marked predicate when an intervening distractor carries a non-honorific feature. We…

Haro, Juan; Comesaña, Montserrat; Ferré, Pilar – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2019
The present study explores the issue of why ambiguous words are recognized faster than unambiguous ones during word recognition. To this end we contrasted two different hypotheses: the "semantic feedback" hypothesis (Hino and Lupker in J Exp Psychol Hum Percept Perform 22:1331-1356, 1996. https://doi.org/10.1037/0096-1523.22.6.1331), and…

Rück, Franziska; Dudschig, Carolin; Mackenzie, Ian G.; Vogt, Anne; Leuthold, Hartmut; Kaup, Barbara – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2021
In experiments investigating the processing of true and false negative sentences, it is often reported that polarity interacts with truth-value, in the sense that true sentences lead to faster reaction times than false sentences in affirmative conditions whereas the same does not hold for negative sentences. Various reasons for this difference…

Hu, Zhiguo; Liu, Hongyan – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2019
To directly investigate the reciprocal causal relationship of the conceptual and affective meaning of words, two priming experiments were conducted with the lexical decision task. In Experiment 1, the influence of semantic relatedness on the affective priming effect was explored by manipulating the semantic associative strength between the prime…

Patterson, Clare; Felser, Claudia – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2019
Previous research has shown that during cataphoric pronoun resolution, the predictive search for an antecedent is restricted by a structure-sensitive constraint known as 'Condition C', such that an antecedent is only considered when the constraint does not apply. Evidence has mainly come from self-paced reading (SPR), a method which may not be…

Yueqingzhou Ma; Norbert Vanek – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2024
Research on first language (L1) attrition typically focuses on immigrant populations in their second language (L2) environment, yet we know comparably little about L1 attrition in the L1 setting. This study used two lexical tasks to test L1 attrition, a time-sensitive word decision task and a video retelling. Chinese teachers of English vs.…

Cilibrasi, Luca; Stojanovik, Vesna; Riddell, Patricia; Saddy, Douglas – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2019
A number of studies in different languages have shown that speakers may be sensitive to the presence of inflectional morphology in the absence of verb meaning (Caramazza et al. in Cognition 28(3):297-332, 1988; Clahsen in Behav Brain Sci 22(06):991-1013, 1999; Post et al. in Cognition 109(1):1-17, 2008). In this study, sensitivity to inflectional…

Ren, Jiaxin; Luo, Chuanwei; Yang, Yixin; Ji, Min – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2023
This study used an eye-tracking method to examine whether Chinese translation equivalents activated by English prime words can continue to activate their Chinese homophones. With 30 English prime words, and 60 Chinese target words as materials, the experiment used a Tobii eye-tracking device to collect data from 30 university students while…

Albu, Elena; Tsaregorodtseva, Oksana; Kaup, Barbara – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2021
Negative sentences are hard to process when they are presented out of context. When embedded in a context of plausible denial their processing difficulty decreases or is completely eliminated. We investigated in six behavioral experiments whether the processing of negation is eased in a denial context triggered by discourse markers (e.g.…

Sun, Jing; Zhao, Weiqi; Pae, Hye K. – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2020
Chinese coordinative compound words are common and unique in inter-character semantic and orthographic relationships. This study explored the inter-character orthographic similarity effects on the recognition of transparent two-morpheme coordinative compound words. Seventy-two native Chinese readers participated in a lexical decision task. The…
