    "title": "You can take a noun out of syntax...: Syntactic similarity effects in lexical priming",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Usage-based theories of syntax predict that words and\nsyntactic constructions are probabilistically interconnected. If\nthis is true, then words that occur in similar distributions of\nsyntactic constructions should prime each other. These effects\nshould be fine-grained; even small differences between the\nsyntactic distributions of pairs of words of the same\ngrammatical category should cause variation in priming. Prior\nresearch from production suggests that this prediction should\nhold even in tasks without any syntactic requirement. In this\nstudy, we introduce a measure of the similarity between the\nsyntactic contexts in which two nouns occur. We show that this\nsimilarity measure significantly predicts visual lexical decision\npriming magnitudes between pairs of nouns. This finding is\nconsistent with the predictions of usage-based theories where\nfine-grained similarity of syntactic usages between\nprime-target pairs affects decision latencies, over and above\nany effects attributable to semantic similarity.",
