Experimental Syntax & Language Processing

organized by Matt Wagers


Focus

Our group works on issues of how grammars are used in real-time language comprehension. We are interested in understanding the relationship between the form of grammatical constraints and other aspects of cognitive architecture, particularly memory. We are also interested in models of evaluative judgments in linguistics.

Current projects include: 
  • processing agreement and the representation of phi-features
  • the syntactic scope of focal attention 
  • representation of plurality [joint work with Semantics Lab]
  • the interrelation of working memory and predictive ability
  • processing island structures
  • ordinal comparisons of acceptability
