Abstract This chapter explores four ways in which formal acceptability judgment experiments can contribute to syntactic theory: (i) by exploring the validity and reliability of judgments to better establish the empirical base of the theory, (ii) by exploring differences among acceptability judgment tasks to better optimize syntactic ...

Acceptability judgments still matter: Deafness and documentation
Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2017AbstractThe target article's call to end reliance on acceptability judgments is premature. First, it restricts syntactic inquiry to cases were a semantically equivalent alternative is available. Second, priming studies require groups of participants who are linguistically homogenous and whose grammar is known to the researcher. These requirements would

Magnitude Estimation Scaling Judgments of Speech Intelligibility and Speech Acceptability
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 199920 female students in speech-language pathology provided magnitude estimation scaling responses for the speech intelligibility and acceptability of audio-taped speech samples varying systematically the number of consonant sounds produced correctly. Analysis indicated no significant over-all differences between listeners' judgments of intelligibility ...
