Warning and contextual mechanisms in the illusory truth effect
Warnings that half of the statements are false reduce the illusory truth effect. • Warning effects selectively lower credibility for repeated, but not new, statements. • Credibility judgments vary with the truth-value of surrounding contextual statements. • Blatantly true contexts increase credibility for both repeated and novel statements. • Warnings and context reflect distinct non-experiential influences on truth judgments. The illusory truth …
I know how you’ll say it
Most models of language comprehension assume that the linguistic system is able to pre-activate phonological information. However, the evidence for phonological prediction is mixed and controversial. In this study, we implement a paradigm that capitalizes on the fact that foreign speakers usually make phonological errors. We investigate whether speaker identity (native vs. foreign) is used to make specific phonological predictions. Fifty-two part…
Allophonic familiarity differentiates word representations in the brain of native speakers of regional linguistic varieties
Pragmatic and knowledge range lenience towards foreigners
Foreign-accented speech categorizes the speaker as an outgroup individual with a lower linguistic competence and a different knowledge heritage from a native speaker. Here we explore whether the identification of an individual as a native or a foreign speaker has an impact on trivia statement judgments, regardless of her foreign-accented speech. Italian native participants first read a bio description of a native and of a foreign speaker and then…
Discourse Expectations Are Sensitive to the Question Under Discussion
Questions under Discussion (QUDs) have been suggested to influence the integration of individual utterances into a discourse-level representation. Previous work has shown that processing ungrammatical ellipses is facilitated when the elided material addresses an implicit QUD raised through a nonactuality implicature (NAIs). It is not clear, however, if QUDs influence discourse coherence during comprehension of fully acceptable discourse. We prese…
