Noise affects auditory and linguistic processing differently
NeuroReport, 2000We investigated the influence of noise on brain responses to spoken sentences in MEG. Sixteen subjects had to listen to acoustically presented sentences and judge their syntactic correctness. Sentences were either presented on a silent background or with noise. Noise had differential effects on early auditory and syntactic processes.

Affective text trajectories: Toward a linguistic anthropology of critique
Journal of Pragmatics, 2021Abstract In their studies of culture and society, many if not most scholars from the social sciences and humanities aspire to a critical approach. Recently, this practice of academic critique has become an object of study in its own right. Contributing to this “critique of critique,” I propose ideas for a linguistic anthropology of critique.

Linguistic marking, strategy, and affect in syllogistic reasoning
Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 1979It has repeatedly been shown that three-term-series problems with unmarked comparatives (e.g., taller, higher) are solved more quickly than otherwise identical problems using their marked opposites (e.g., shorter, lower). Clark's principle of lexical marking accounts for these results in terms of a simpler semantic featural coding of the unmarked ...

Constructing comparative sentences: Linguistic marking and affect
Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 1981Past research has demonstrated a greater “naturalness” of comparative constructions with the unmarked adjective. Not only do subjects typically create sentences of the form “A is longer than B” more frequently than “B is shorter than A,” but such constructions are also more quickly verified. One explanation for this preference is in terms of Linguistic

The music of speech to infants: Affective and linguistic functions
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1990The prosodic contours of mothers' speech to infants are typically exaggerated in pitch range and slower in tempo, compared to the prosody of adult-adult speech. Cross-language acoustic analyses reveal that mothers use similar pitch contours in similar communicative contexts with preverbal infants.

Production of affective and linguistic prosody by brain-damaged patients
Aphasiology, 1997Abstract To test a number of hypotheses concerning the functional lateralization of speech prosody, the ability of unilaterally right-hemisphere-damaged (RHD), unilaterally left-hemisphere-damaged (LHD), and age-matched control subjects (NC) to produce linguistic and affective prosodic contrasts at the sentence level was assessed via acoustic analysis.

Unbundling the Linguistic Dynamics Affecting Cross-border Acquisitions
Academy of Management Proceedings, 2013Whilst integration is central to the success of mergers and acquisitions (M&A), less overt attention has been paid to its linguistic dimensions. By drawing on an inductive, large-scale research project totalling 166 interviews, where eight acquisitions conducted by globally-operating acquiring firms were under study, our findings confirm that language ...
