This study evaluates two broad classes of language processing accounts that make
predictions for sentences like “The admirer of the singer (s) apparently thinks...”. Feature …

Participants in psycholinguistic experiments are typically asked to read or listen to dozens of
individual, uncontextualized, disconnected sentences, ranging from perfectly normal to …

People sometimes interpret implausible sentences nonliterally, for example treating The
mother gave the candle the daughter as meaning the daughter receiving the candle. But …

As they process complex linguistic input, language comprehenders must maintain a
map** between lexical items (eg, morphemes) and their syntactic position in the sentence …

We present computational modeling results based on a self‐paced reading study
investigating number attraction effects in Eastern Armenian. We implement three novel …

The formation of linguistic dependencies is subject to memory interference. In this study, we
ask whether memory representations are fixed, or whether they can be distorted and …

Subject–verb agreement errors are common in sentence production. Many studies have
used experimental paradigms targeting the production of subject–verb agreement from a …

Non-literal interpretations of implausible sentences such as The mother gave the candle the
daughter have been taken as evidence for a rational error-correction mechanism that …

Interpreting a sentence can be characterized as a rational process in which comprehenders
integrate linguistic input with top-down knowledge (eg, plausibility). One type of evidence for …

Attraction effects in comprehension have reliably shown a grammaticality asymmetry in
which mismatching plural attractors confer facilitatory interference for ungrammatical verbs …
