Hanna, Joy E.; Brennan, Susan E.; Savietta, Kelly J. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2020
During face-to-face communication, people use visual cues about what their partners are attending to as they process language. An eyetracking experiment explored how addressees use speakers' eye gaze and head orientation while interpreting references to objects in a spatial task. Thirty-six naive director/matcher pairs seated face-to-face were…

Heruti, Vered; Bergerbest, Dafna; Giora, Rachel – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2019
In two experiments this study tested the "Graded Salience Hypothesis" and the "Defaultness Hypothesis." It weighs the effects of linguistic versus pictorial contexts in terms of activation (or suppression) of default, salient meanings when context invites nondefault, less-salient alternatives. Using a naming task, Experiments 1…

Mauchand, Maël; Vergis, Nikos; Pell, Marc D. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2020
In spoken discourse, understanding irony requires the apprehension of subtle cues, such as the speaker's tone of voice (prosody), which often reveal the speaker's affective stance toward the listener in the context of the utterance. To shed light on the interplay of linguistic content and prosody on impressions of spoken criticisms and compliments…

Hautasaari, Ari; Yamashita, Naomi; Gao, Ge – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2019
We explore how native and non-native English speakers interpret cues of emotional expression in native English speakers, text-only messages in two studies. In Experiment 1, 28 native English speakers and 28 Japanese non-native English speakers rated the emotional valence of 98 public Facebook status updates written by native English-speaking…

Kovaz, David; Kreuz, Roger J.; Riordan, Monica A. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2013
Sarcasm production and comprehension have been traditionally described in terms of pragmatic factors. Lexical cues have received less attention, but they may be important potential indicators. A major obstacle to examining such features is determining sarcastic intent. One solution is to analyze statements explicitly marked as being sarcastic.…

Wolfe, Michael B.; Tanner, Shawna M.; Taylor, Andrew R. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2013
We examine students' processing and representation of arguments and counterarguments in one-sided scientific texts. In Experiment 1, students read texts about evolution and TV violence. Sentence reading times indicated that subjects slowed down reading to the extent that arguments were both more consistent, and inconsistent, with the text…

Garnham, Alan; Gabriel, Ute; Sarrasin, Oriane; Gygax, Pascal; Oakhill, Jane – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2012
Gygax, Gabriel, Sarrasin, Oakhill, and Garnham (2008) showed that readers form a mental representation of gender that is based on grammatical gender in French and German (i.e., masculine supposedly interpretable as a generic form) but is based on stereotypical information in English. In this study, a modification of their stimulus material was…

Harmon-Vukic, Mary; Gueraud, Sabine; Lassonde, Karla A.; O'Brien, Edward J. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2009
Participants read a series of passages containing an action that required the use of an instrument. In Experiment 1, a naming task failed to detect activation of a target instrument when that instrument was supported in the preceding text. In Experiment 2, reading times were slow on a target sentence that contradicted the inferential information,…

Ariel, Mira – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2004
When accounting for the usage of some linguistic form, one can refer to its discourse profile, all concomitant features frequently co-occurring with that form in discourse, or abstract a more general claim about its discourse function, referring only to the necessary and sufficient conditions for the proper occurrence of the form. This article…
