Lab Meeting
Title: Structural and discourse factors in retrieval: what we learn from sluicing
Abstract:
Title: A parametric study of hierarchical structure building in fMRI and MEG
Graduate student Lara Ehrenhofer (LING) will present a project that she’ll be running this summer using ERPs to probe incremental interpretation and prediction across different word orders.
Searching for survivors: gleaning insight into semantic processing from instances of misinterpretation
Zoe Schlueter will talk about her current research using EEG methods to understand predictive processes at the semantic/discourse level.
At this week’s lab meeting, we’ll be hearing from Dustin Chacón, who will be talking about “Resumptives: the pronouns that we maybe now understand them”. He’ll talk about background on parsing long distance dependencies and on the murky status of resumptive pronouns, and then he’ll summarize some experiments that he has recently carried out, plus new experiments that are in the planning stages.
William Matchin will talk about "ERP indices of structure building mechanisms".
All welcome.
Psycholinguistics Lab meeting. Fridays, 12:00 - 1:30. Linguistics Dept seminar room, 1108B Marie Mount Hall.
On October 10th we'll have a double-header featuring Kate Harrigan, discussing her work on how children learn and understand very-hard-to-observe words, such as "want", "think", and "hope". Then Ellen Lau will talk about some of her recent work on ERPs and predictive processes ("Events vs. Entities with ERPs").
All welcome.
