Word order preferences of Tagalog-speaking adults and children
This article investigates the word order preferences of Tagalog-speaking adults and five- and seven-year-old children. The participants were asked to complete sentences to describe pictures depicting actions between two animate entities. Adults preferred agent-initial constructions in the patient voice but not in the agent voice, while the children produced mainly agent-initial constructions regardless of voice. This agent-initial preference, des…
Frequency effects in Subject Islands
This work provides evidence that Subject Island violation effects vanish if subject-embedded gaps are made as frequent and pragmatically felicitous as non-island counterpart controls. We argue that Subject Island effects are caused by the fact that subject-embedded gaps are pragmatically unusual – as the informational focus does not usually correspond to a dependant of the subject phrase – and therefore are highly contrary to comprehenders’ expec…
Time and Causation in Discourse
Information structural effects of German P- and D-pronouns in discourse
The present investigation steps back to the claims of the 1990s by assuming that there is a functional opposition in the use of P- and D-PRO which affects the status of the pronoun's referent in the mental model of the discourse. We interpret the earlier findings as an indication of an information structural difference which is specifically relevant on the discourse level. The question we address here is twofold. Firstly, we ask whether the assum…
A Narrative-Expectation-Based Approach to Temporal Update in Discourse Comprehension
This study concerns the mechanisms involving temporal update in discourse comprehension, comparing traditional approaches based on Aktionsart and Iconicity against an approach based on narrative expectations. Our experiments suggest that readers pay more attention to fine-grained discourse properties (such as salient temporal boundaries and event complexity) pertaining to the eventualities they encounter in the narrative in determining whether na…
An Acoustic Investigation of R-Umlaut in Old Norse
The fronting of back vowels before the segment represented by the rune algwiz in Old Norse (Runic: kūR ON: kýr ‘cows’) is problematic because there is no consensus on the phonetic value to be reconstructed for the conditioner, a reflex of Proto-Germanic + /z/. This study presents an acoustic experiment testing the fronting effect of codas [z], [ʒ], and [ɹ] on realizations of the representative back vowel /u/, as these are possible reconstructed v…
