Purpose In this study, we sought to identify critical linguistic markers that can differentiate sentence processing of individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) from the sentence processing of normal-aging populations by manipulating sentences ...

Complex hierarchic syntax is considered one of the hallmarks of human language. The highest level of syntactic complexity, recursive-embedded clauses, has been singled out by some for a special status as the apex of the uniquely-human language faculty – evolutionary but somehow immune to adaptive selection.

In the past two decades, syntactic complexity measures (e.g. the length or number of words per clause/t-unit/sentences and number of clauses per t-unit/sentence, and types of clauses used) have been widely used to determine and benchmark language ...

A Psycholinguistic Model of Syntactic Complexity
Language and Speech, 1970Previously developed psycholinguistic notions of syntactic complexity, involving depth, degree of nesting and node/terminal node ratio are reviewed. The authors' own system, based on transformational generative grammar, is presented. This system employs a quantitative unit measurement based on the fundamental logical operations underlying phrase- and ...

Syntactic Complexity in Spanish Narratives
Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1994Syntactic complexity in the movie retellings of 77 school-age Spanish-speaking children was examined using a structural constituent analysis. The results demonstrated developmental differences in the length of T-units, index of subordination, use of relative clauses, and prepositional phrases.

Syntactic Complexity in Ambiguity Resolution
Journal of Memory and Language, 2002This article presents two self-paced reading experiments which investigate the role of storage costs associated with maintaining incomplete syntactic dependencies in structural ambiguity resolution. We argue that previous work has been equivocal regarding syntactic influences because it has examined ambiguities where there is little or no resource ...

Measures of Syntactic Complexity and their Change over Time (the Case of Russian)
Conference of the Open Innovations Association, 2020Syntactic complexity is an important feature of any text, both written and oral. The information about syntactic complexity is crucial for successful solution of many practical NLP tasks starting from intellectual understanding of texts and ending with ...

Syntactic complexity suitable for listening
2001 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics. e-Systems and e-Man for Cybernetics in Cyberspace (Cat.No.01CH37236), 2002With the growth of multi-modal interfaces, the chance of listening to text, not reading, is increasing. In listening, it seems difficult to understand complex sentences. The authors present the results of a psychological experiment to investigate how syntactic complexity of a text affects its comprehensibility when a human listens to it.
