Smith, Philip T.; Baker, Robert G. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1976
Two experiments are reported which investigate the process of converting written English into speech. (Author/RM)
Descriptors: English, Language Patterns, Language Research, Morphemes
Geiselman, Ralph E.; Crawley, Joseph M. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1983
Discusses how paralinguistics information of a voice is remembered without apparent intent and concludes that this happens because the connotation of the voice influences the meaning of what is being said. (EKN)

Baars, Bernard J.; And Others – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1975
Spoonerisms can be elicited by having the subject articulate a target preceded by bias items. Any systematic difference in rate of errors between similar targets must result from processes after recoding of target into its slip. Editing processes make lexical outcomes more frequent than nonsense outcomes. (CHK)

Navon, David; Shimron, Joseph – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1981
Describes three experiments designed to determine whether grapheme-to-phoneme rules are automatically applied when a word pattern is encoded. Concludes that grapheme-to-phoneme translation is a natural response to written words, at least when naming is required, and that mediation by visual mechanisms can be ruled out. (Author/MES)

Clark, Eve V. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1970
This study was conducted to examine the acquisition of the meaning of the temporal conjunctions "before" and "after." The initial hypothesis was that in the acquisition of a word, the child learns its semantic components one at a time. The subjects were 40 school children attending the Bing Nursery School at Stanford…

Hirst, William; Brill, Gary A. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1980
Three experiments were conducted to ascertain the effect of contextual restraints on pronoun assignment. Pronoun selection is based on integration of the context even where it is already syntactically constrained. Integration occurs during and not following the assignment of the pronoun. (PMJ)

Maratsos, Michael P.; Abramovitch, Rona – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1975
Five experiments are carried out to determine the comprehension of passives by children. Results obtained demonstrate that comprehension rests on knowledge of syntactic structure. V - NP were interpreted as verb-object. Passives lacking a preposition were interpreted as actives. Competence in passives may be at a high level before performance is…

Hanson, Vicki L.; Bellugi, Ursula – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1982
Investigates sentence processing in a visual-gestural language by testing signers' recognition for American Sign Language sentences. Results indicate that signers decompose a complex sign into its lexical and inflectional components during sentence comprehension and remember the meaning expressed by these components rather than remembering the…
