Prosody and syntactic processing
… phrase boundaries and pitch accents, are used in syntactic processing. Traditionally, it has been argued that while intonational phrase boundaries interact with syntactic structure, pitch accents do not. One apparent exception to this view is work by Schafer, Carter, Clifton, and Frazier (1996) …

Syntactic edges and linearization
… phonology. I show that Cyclic Linearization of syntactic structure and constraints on domain-internal movement of multiple specifiers predict unique ordering restrictions at the edges of syntactic domains. As a consequence of cyclic Spell-out and conditions on syntactic agreement, elements …

Implicit learning as a mechanism for syntactic acquisition and processing: Evidence from syntactic priming.
… mechanisms that infer knowledge from input? Syntactic priming offers an experimental paradigm that can test different theories of syntactic acquisition. Presenting a prime sentence of a particular syntactic structure (e.g., the passive: the swimmer was eaten by a crocodile) tends to increase …

The Syntactic Structures of Relativisation
This thesis examines the syntactic structures of restrictive relativisation in English. English exhibits a variety of different relative constructions with different syntactic properties. We pursue the hypothesis that these properties are accounted for by the systematic variation in the structural …

Syntactic distribution of English denominal verbs
Denominal verbs have been at the forefront of English word formation and lexical semantic literature. A common approach to deriving the structural representation of a denominal verb’s meaning involves using the canonical thematic role the parent noun plays to choose what type of event structure it …

A Statistical Method for Syntactic Dialectometry
… of a statistical distance measure for syntactic dialectometry, expanding dialectometry's methods to include syntax as well as phonology and the lexicon. It establishes the measure's reliability by comparing its results to those of dialectology and phonological dialectometry on Swedish …

Syntactic Attrition in L2 Mandarin Speakers
The purpose of this study was to explore how syntactic skill was maintained or lost by L2 Mandarin Chinese learners over time. In addition, this study endeavored to discover how a learner's L1 affects the attrition process of word order in Mandarin Chinese. To find out how certain Chinese syntactic …

Automatic syntactic analysis of learner English
Automatic syntactic analysis is essential for extracting useful information from large-scale learner data for linguistic research and natural language processing (NLP). Currently, researchers use standard POS taggers and parsers developed on native language to analyze learner language. …

The linear limitations of syntactic derivations
… reveal, I argue, that many limitations of syntactic derivations are attributable to the way in which syntactic operations are cyclically interleaved with the component of the grammar that establishes word order. This finding has consequences for many phenomena, and for the architecture of …
