Blumenthal-Dramé, Alice – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2021
This article presents a self-paced reading study comparing the online processing of interclausal discourse relations in native speakers of English and German. The study aims to contribute to two overarching questions: First, it puts to the test the so-called causality-by-default hypothesis, which states that causality is a default assumption,…

Fernanda Ferreira; Zoe Yang – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2019
Most research in psycholinguistics relies on online measures such as reading time to inform and test theories of language comprehension. However, the value of offline measures such as question-answering performance is sometimes overlooked in sentence processing work. Consequently, psycholinguists do not yet understand how the tasks and measures…

Ferretti, Todd R.; Singer, Murray; Harwood, Jenna – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2013
We used ERP methodology to investigate how readers validate discourse concepts and update situation models when those concepts followed factive (e.g., knew) and nonfactive (e.g., "guessed") verbs, and also when they were true, false, or indeterminate with reference to previous discourse. Following factive verbs, early (P2) and later brain…

Reading time was measured on sentences containing 2 clauses; a pronoun appeared in 1 clause, and a proper name…

Sanders, Ted J.M.; Gernsbacher, Morton Ann – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2004
Accessibility is one of the most important challenges at the intersection of linguistic and psycholinguistic studies of text and discourse processing. Linguists have shown how linguistic indicators of referential coherence show a systematic pattern: Longer linguistic forms (like full lexical NPs) tend to be used when referents are relatively low…
