SNAP Judgments: A Small n Acceptability Paradigm (SNAP) for Linguistic Acceptability Judgments [PDF]
Language, 2016 While published linguistic judgments sometimes differ from the judgments found in large-scale formal experiments with naive participants, there is not a consensus as to how often these errors occur nor as to how often formal experiments should be used in syntax and semantics research.

Neutrality and relative acceptability in judgment aggregation [PDF]
Social Choice and Welfare, 2019 AbstractOne of the fundamental normative principles in social choice theory is that of neutrality. In the context of judgment aggregation, neutrality is encoded in the form of an axiom expressing that, when two possible judgments enjoy the same support amongst the individuals, then either both or neither of them should be accepted. This is a reasonable

Using audio stimuli in acceptability judgment experiments [PDF]
Language and Linguistics Compass, 2020 Abstract In this paper, we argue that moving away from written stimuli in acceptability judgment experiments is necessary to address the systematic exclusion of particular empirical phenomena, languages/varieties, and speakers in psycholinguistics.
