Aging, Emotion, Attention, and Binding in the Taboo Stroop Task: Data and Theories
How does aging impact relations between emotion, memory, and attention? To address this question, young and older adults named the font colors of taboo and neutral words, some of which recurred in the same font color or screen location throughout two color-naming experiments. The results indicated longer color-naming response times (RTs) for taboo than neutral base-words (taboo Stroop interference); better incidental recognition of colors and loc…

Personification and the pronoun problem
Psychology, prescriptive grammar, and the pronoun problem
People want to know the most accept able words aTuI rules jar using English, and the goal oj prescriptive grammar is to determine and to teach those rules. The present article argues that psychology can help to develop principles and procedures for pre scriptive grammar. As a first step in that direction, an e:rperimental technique is reported jar evaluating the prescription oj to mean he or she. Subjects who read textbook paragraphs containing…
Psychology, prescriptive grammar, and the pronoun problem
Metaphor and Thought
On the goals, principles, and procedures for prescriptive grammar: Singular they
This paper examines the goals of prescriptive grammar and the causes and consequences of the rift between prescriptive and theoretical linguistics. It also proposes a principle for guiding prescriptive recommendations in the future as well as a theoretical framework and procedure for predicting the consequences of prescriptive recommendations. The procedure illustrates a hypothetical prescription: the substitution of singular they for prescriptiv…

Lexical insertion, inflection, and derivation: Creative processes in word production
Experimentally eliciting phonetic and sentential speech errors: Methods, Implications, and Work in Progress
Linguists and psychologists have noted the potential value of studying speech errors since the 1890s (Meringer & Mayer 1895; Freud 1938; Fromkin 1973; MacKay 1972). The reasoning has been that involuntary errors may lay bare certain aspects of the speech production system which are hidden in normal, errorless speech. Today we are closer than ever before to realizing this hope, because (a) we have more complete samples and analyses of spontaneous …
Phoneme Repetition in the Structure of Languages
The structure of phoneme repetition in Croatian and Hawaiian was found to be remarkably similar. In both languages, immediate repetition of phonemes as in AACHEN was very infrequent, but phoneme repetition after some degree of separation as in PROPER was significantly more frequent than chance expectation. The degree of separation for maximum probability of repetition was slightly different for vowels and consonants in both languages. This patter…
