A meta-analysis of syntactic priming in language production
We performed an exhaustive meta-analysis of 73 peer-reviewed journal articles on syntactic
priming from the seminal Bock (1986) paper through 2013. Extracting the effect size for each …

An experimental approach to linguistic representation
Within the cognitive sciences, most researchers assume that it is the job of linguists to
investigate how language is represented, and that they do so largely by building theories …

The head constituent plays a key role in the lexical boost in syntactic priming
Accounts of language production make different predictions about the conditions under
which structural priming should be enhanced by lexical repetition (the lexical boost) …

sentences. We investigated the extent to which structural priming persists with age and …

Effects of age on the time course of syntactic priming in Chinese sentence production: an ERP study
Y Cui, Q Zhang - Cerebral Cortex, 2024 - academic.oup.com
Using a syntactic priming task, we investigated the time course of syntactic encoding in
Chinese sentence production and compared encoding patterns between younger and older …

Priming is swell, but it's far from simple
Clearly, structural priming is a valuable tool for probing linguistic representation. But we
don't think that the existing results provide strong support for Branigan & Pickering's (B&P's) …

[PDF][PDF] Priming methods in semantics and pragmatics
Structural priming is a powerful method to inform linguistic theories. We argue that this
method extends nicely beyond syntax, to theories of meaning. However, priming should still …
