The Persistence of Syntactic Priming Revisited

Journal of Memory and Language, 2016
Abstract This study investigated the generalizability of the claim that syntactic priming persists, while only the lexical boost to syntactic priming decays (Hartsuiker, Bernolet, Schoonbaert, Spreybroek & Vanderelst, 2008). We report syntactic priming experiments and corresponding memory experiments featuring a lag manipulation (LAG 0, 2 and 6) for ...

Syntactic Priming

Language and Linguistics Compass, 2007
Abstract Syntactic priming effects, or the tendency to repeat syntactic structure across otherwise unrelated utterances, have been extensively investigated over the last two decades. Because such effects rely upon the language processor recognising a syntactic relationship between two utterances, they offer a versatile behavioural ...

Beyond syntactic priming: Evidence for activation of alternative syntactic structures

Journal of Child Language, 2011
ABSTRACTPriming methodology was previously used to investigate children's ability to represent abstract syntactic forms. Existing evidence indicates that following exposure to a particular syntactic structure (such as the passive voice), English-speaking children increase their production of that structure with new lexical items.

Syntactic priming effects in aphasia: An investigation of local syntactic dependencies

Brain and Language, 1991
This study explored on-line processing of local syntactic dependencies in normal subjects and in Broca's and Wernicke's aphasics using a lexical decision paradigm. In addition, subjects performed a grammatically judgement task on the real word pairs used in the lexical decision tasks.

Syntactic priming in young children

Journal of Memory and Language, 2004
Abstract This paper presents three experiments which show syntactic priming effects in four- and five-year-old children. The experiments are modeled after priming studies with adults involving transitive and dative constructions. In Study 1 children were presented with a picture that was described by an experimenter.

Syntactic priming and individual preferences

2023
Abstract This paper analyses the relation between syntactic priming/persistence and individual preferences in the variation between the two forms of the Spanish past subjunctive ( -ra vs -se ).

Cross-linguistic syntactic priming in bilingual children

Journal of Child Language, 2009
ABSTRACT Previous research has used cross-linguistic priming methodology with bilingual adults to explore the nature of their syntactic representations. The present paper extends the use of this methodology to bilingual children to investigate the relation between the syntactic structures of their two languages.

Syntactic Priming Effects in Comprehension: A Critical Review

Language and Linguistics Compass, 2010
Abstract Syntactic priming occurs when processing of a target sentence is facilitated following processing of a prime sentence that has the same syntactic structure (Bock, 1986 Cognitive Psychology , 18. 355–387). Syntactic priming has been widely investigated in production (

Exploring interactions between semantic and syntactic processes: The role of animacy in syntactic priming

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2015
The current study addressed the relation between syntactic and semantic processes during language production in 5- and 6-year-old children. A priming paradigm was used to examine children's production of passives in describing transitive scenes (target pictures) following exposure to the experimenter's sentences (primes).

Syntactic priming in comprehension: The role of argument order and animacy.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2008
Two visual-world eye-movement experiments investigated the nature of syntactic priming during comprehension--specifically, whether the priming effects in ditransitive prepositional object (PO) and double object (DO) structures (e.g., "The wizard will send the poison to the prince/the prince the poison?") are due to anticipation of structural properties
