Repeated interactions can lead to more iconic signals
Iconicity Modality Artificial Language Experiment
2017/8/31
Previous research has shown that repeated interactions can cause iconicity in signals to reduce. However, data from several recent studies has shown the opposite trend: an increase in iconicity as the...
Signal dimensionality and the emergence of combinatorial structure
Signal spaces Artificial language experiments Linguistic modalities
2017/8/31
In language, a small number of meaningless building blocks can be combined into an unlimited set of meaningful utterances. This is known as combinatorial structure. One hypothesis for the initial emer...
Conventionalisation and Discrimination as Competing Pressures on Continuous Speech-like Signals
Competing Pressures Continuous Speech-like Signals
2017/8/31
Arbitrary communication systems can emerge from iconic beginnings through processes of conventionalisation via interaction. Here, we explore whether this process of conventionalisation occurs with con...
Discourse-level semantic coherence influences beta oscillatory dynamics and the N400 during sentence comprehension
Language comprehension discourse semantics beta oscillations
2017/8/30
In this study, we used electroencephalography to investigate the influence of discourse-level semantic coherence on electrophysiological signatures of local sentence-level processing. Participants rea...
The essential insight of speech act theory was that when we use language, we perform actions—in a more modern parlance, core language use in interaction is a form of joint action. Over the last thirty...
Relative difficulty of understanding foreign accents as a marker of proficiency
Foreign accent L2 learners
2017/8/30
Foreign-accented speech is generally harder to understand than native-accented speech. This difficulty is reduced for non-native listeners who share their first language with the non-native speaker. I...
How social network heterogeneity facilitates lexical access and lexical prediction
Social networks Variability Lexical access
2017/8/30
People learn language from their social environment. As individuals differ in their social networks, they might be exposed to input with different lexical distributions, and these might influence thei...
Language for $200: Success in the environment influences grammatical alignment
success accommodation language learning
2017/8/30
Speakers constantly learn language from the environment by sampling their linguistic input and adjusting their representations accordingly. Logically, people should attend more to the environment and ...
Talking to fewer people leads to having more malleable linguistic representations
fewer people leads malleable linguistic representations
2017/8/30
We learn language from our social environment. In general, the more sources we have, the less informative each of them is, and the less weight we should assign it. If this is the case, people who inte...
Children’s semantic and world knowledge overrides fictional information during anticipatory linguistic processing
discourse children sentence comprehension
2017/8/30
Using real-time eye-movement measures, we asked how a fantastical discourse context competes with stored representations of semantic and world knowledge to influence children's and adults' moment-by-m...
Making sense: motor activation and action plausibility during sentence processing
motor activation action plausibility
2017/8/30
The current electroencephalography study investigated the relationship between the motor and (language) comprehension systems by simultaneously measuring mu and N400 effects. Specifically, we examined...
Low-frequency neural entrainment to rhythmic input has been hypothesized as a canonical mechanism that shapes sensory perception in time. Neural entrainment is deemed particularly relevant for speech ...
Many natural auditory signals, including music and language, change periodically. The effect of such auditory rhythms on the brain is unclear however. One widely held view, dynamic attending theory, p...
Many a days during my PhD I asked myself why on earth I am doing a PhD on music and
language. You, dear reader, might ask yourself the same question about this PhD thesis. Why
read it? I describe ex...
non-initial placement of agent constructions in spoken clauses: A corpus-based study of language production under time pressure
Sports commentary Rightward placement of subjects Japanese
2017/8/30
In this exploratory study we test the hypothesis that the retrieval from memory of proper noun Agents (PNAs) under processing pressure causes a greater proportion of such semantic arguments to be plac...
