A Computational Cognitive Model of Syntactic Priming [PDF]

open access: yesCognitive Science, 2011
AbstractThe psycholinguistic literature has identified two syntactic adaptation effects in language production: rapidly decaying short‐term priming and long‐lasting adaptation. To explain both effects, we present an ACT‐R model of syntactic priming based on a wide‐coverage, lexicalized syntactic theory that explains priming as facilitation of lexical ...

Lexically-Driven Syntactic Priming

open access: yesCognition, 2005
Syntactic priming studies demonstrate that exposure to a particular syntactic structure leads speakers to reproduce the same structure in subsequent utterances. Explanations for this phenomenon rely on either the retrieval of morphosyntactic features associated with the verb in the prime sentence or the preservation of the mapping between message and ...

Syntactic Priming: A Corpus-Based Approach

open access: yesJournal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2005
The present study is a corpus-based investigation of syntactic priming, i.e. the tendency to reuse syntactic constructions. On the basis of data from the ICE-GB corpus, I analyze two different pairs of syntactic patterns, the so-called dative alternation and particle placement of transitive phrasal verbs. Although it has sometimes been argued that only

Subliminal syntactic priming

Cognitive Psychology, 2019
Subliminally presented words have been shown to cause priming at orthographic and semantic levels. Here, we investigate whether subliminal priming can also occur at the syntactic level, and use such priming as a tool to probe the architecture for processing the syntactic features of written words.

Lexically-Mediated Syntactic Priming Effects in Comprehension: Sources of Facilitation [PDF]

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2019
The nature of the facilitation occurring when sentences share a verb and syntactic structure (i.e., lexically-mediated syntactic priming) has not been adequately addressed in comprehension.

Syntactic priming in language production

Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 1999
People have a tendency to repeat the types of sentences they use during language production. Recent experimental work has shown that this phenomenon is at least partly due to 'syntactic priming', whereby the act of processing an utterance with a particular form facilitates processing a subsequent utterance with the same or a related form.

Syntactic Priming of Nouns and Verbs in Chinese

Language and Speech, 2001
Syntactic priming of Chinese nouns and verbs was in vestigated in word recognition (cued shadowing of auditory targets) and production(picture naming). Disyllabic compoun words were presented after syntactically congruent, incongruent,or neutral auditory contexts, with azero delay between offset of the context and onset of the target.

The logic of syntactic priming and acceptability judgments

Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2017
AbstractA critical flaw in Branigan & Pickering's (B&P's) advocacy of structural priming is the absence of a theory of priming. This undermines their claims about the value of priming as a methodology. In contrast, acceptability judgments enable clearer inferences about structure.
