Bock, Kathryn – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1977
An investigation of the relationship between a speaker's decision to treat portions of the information in a sentence as given or new and the syntactic form of the sentence produced. A tendency of English speakers to use alternative surface structure rules to present given information before new information is demonstrated. (AMH)

Slamecka, Norman J.; Barlow, William – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1979
A series of three experiments investigated repetition effects on recall with homographic responses. It was concluded that the repetition increment was mediated solely by commonality of surface features and that semantic features played no role. (Author/AM)

Tyler, Lorraine; Marslen-Wilson, William – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1977
A presentation of an experiment testing the claim that on-line syntactic processing is autonomous and not affected by semantic content. Results suggested that before the clause boundary is reached, syntactic decisions can be influenced by prior semantic context. An appendix containing numerous examples of clauses and probe words is included. (AMH)

Caramazza, Alfonso; And Others – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1977
This study demonstrates that a property of verbs, implicit causality, is important in determining coreference of potentially ambiguous anaphoric pronouns in a timed comprehension task. Verbs were classified according to bias toward a noun phrase; pairs of sentences were constructed for each. Response time was faster for congruent sentences. (CHK)
