MT17 Week 7

Post date: Nov 14, 2017 2:26:13 PM

ROOM CHANGE: Please note that this week we will be meeting in CLP 207.

This week we will take a look at Urbach, T. P., & Kutas, M. (2010). Quantifiers more or less quantify on-line: ERP evidence for partial incremental interpretation. Journal of Memory and Language, 63(2), 158-179., a paper investigating ERPs to both general knowledge and quantified expressions. Please note that there has been a follow up paper to this (Urbach, T. P., DeLong, K. A., & Kutas, M. (2015). Quantifiers are incrementally interpreted in context, more than less. Journal of memory and language, 83, 79-96.) which reports a somewhat distinct set of findings that may be of interest. Also of interest is a related paper which we may want to read at a future meeting (Prasada, S., Salajegheh, A., Bowles, A., & Poeppel, D. (2008). Characterising kinds and instances of kinds: ERP reflections. Language and Cognitive Processes, 23(2), 226-240.).
