  • Phonological input processing is reduced during speech planning in turn taking

    Open AccessManfred BarthelARTICLEJournal of Memory and Language2026

    In conversational turn taking, speech planning and language comprehension are known to frequently overlap in time, which has previously been found to lead to less efficient speech production due to parallel processing of linguistic input. Four experiments were conducted to investigate whether comprehension processes are also impaired by concurrent speech planning, or whether language comprehension is prioritised during process overlap in turn tak…

  • Speech planning depends on next-speaker selection: Evidence from pupillometry in question–answer sequences in naturalistic triadic conversation

    Open AccessChristoph Rühlemann, Manfred Barthel et al.ARTICLEDiscourse Processes2025References: 84

    Next-speaker selection, which controls who should speak next, is fundamental to turn taking. While it is central in Conversation Analysis, little is known about its cognitive repercussions. We draw on turn-taking and pupillometric data in triadic interaction, investigating open-floor questions, which license more than one participant to respond, and closed-floor questions, which license only a single participant to answer. Comparing pupil size ch…

  • Conditionals in context: Brain signatures of prediction in discourse processing

    Open AccessManfred Barthel, Mathias Barthel et al.ARTICLECognition2024

    Comprehenders are known to generate expectations about upcoming linguistic input at the sentence and discourse level. However, most previous studies on prediction focused mainly on word-induced brain activity rather than examining neural activity preceding a critical stimulus in discourse processing, where prediction actually takes place. In this EEG study, participants were presented with multiple sentences resembling a discourse including condi…

  • Online comprehension of conditionals in context: A self-paced reading study on wenn (‘if’) versus nur wenn (‘only if’) in German

    Open AccessManfred Barthel, Rosario Tomasello et al.ARTICLELinguistics Vanguard2022

    Comprehending conditional statements is fundamental for hypothetical reasoning about situations. However, the online comprehension of conditional statements containing different conditional connectives is still debated. We report two self-paced reading experiments on German conditionals presenting the conditional connectives wenn (‘if’) and nur wenn (‘only if’) in identical discourse contexts. In Experiment 1, participants read a conditional sent…

  • Semantics Processing of Conditional Connectives: German wenn 'if' Versus nur wenn 'only if

    Open AccessMingya Liu, Manfred BarthelARTICLEJournal of Psycholinguistic…2021Cited by: 1References: 16

    In this paper, the meaning and processing of the German conditional connectives (CCs) such aswenn'if' andnur wenn'only if' are investigated. In Experiment 1, participants read short scenarios containing a conditional sentence (i.e., If P, Q.) withwenn/nur wenn'if/only if' and a confirmed or negated antecedent (i.e., P/not-P), and subsequently completed the final sentence about Q (with or without negation). In Experiment 2, participants rated the …
