{ "pk": 25816, "title": "Statistical Structures in Artificial languages Prime Relative Clause Attachment\nBiases in English", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "The phenomenon of syntactic priming is well studied in the\nliterature, but the mechanisms behind it are still under debate.\nIn this study, we trained English-speaking participants in\nartificial language sequences with dependencies that are either\nadjacent or non-adjacent. The participants then wrote\ncompletions to relative clause (RC) fragments. We found that\nparticipants who learn non-adjacent dependencies in the\nartificial language, exhibit a bias to write high-attachment\n(non-adjacent) continuations for RCs, when compared to\nparticipants in a control condition who exhibit low-attachment\n(adjacent) biases in RCs. The implications for theories of\nsyntactic priming and its relations to implicit learning are\ndiscussed.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "implicit learning; syntactic priming; relative\nclause attachment bias; non-adjacent dependencies" } ], "section": "Papers", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0f6289dd", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Felix", "middle_name": "Hao", "last_name": "Wang", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Southern California", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Mythili", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Menon", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Southern California", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Elsi", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Kaiser", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Southern California", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2015-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/25816/galley/15440/download/" } ] }
