An important open question is whether attraction effects are modulated by case information in sentence comprehension. To address this question, we conducted three attraction experiments in Armenian, a language with a rich and productive case system. The experiments showed clear attraction effects, and they also revealed an overall role of case marking such that participants showed faster response and reading times when the nouns in the sentence had different case. However, we found little indication that distinctive case marking modulated attraction effects. We present a theoretical proposal of how case and number information may be used differentially during agreement licensing in comprehension. More generally, this work sheds light on the nature of the retrieval cues deployed when completing morphosyntactic dependencies.}, language = {en} } @article{BurmeisterIllerRanischetal.2021, author = {Burmeister, Christiane and Iller, Ariane and Ranisch, Robert and Brand, Cordula and Staib, Tobias and M{\"u}ller, Uta}, title = {Jenseits der Klinik}, series = {Ethik in der Medizin : official journal of the German Academy of Ethics in the Medicine}, volume = {33}, journal = {Ethik in der Medizin : official journal of the German Academy of Ethics in the Medicine}, number = {2}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin ; Heidelberg}, issn = {0935-7335}, doi = {10.1007/s00481-021-00634-1}, pages = {275 -- 292}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Definition of the problem Medical and nursing care often takes place within complex organizational structures that comprise numerous facilities at numerous locations. We introduce an interactive ethical concept, designed in cooperation with the diaconal foundation BruderhausDiakonie Reutlingen and the International Centre for Ethics in Science, University of Tubingen, to address the particular needs of such organizations. Arguments Therefore we portray the interactive Nijmegen Model which combines an ethics committee located at the management level and situational ethical case deliberations on the ward in order to bring together two indispensable ways of ethical reflection in organizations: "top-down"/"bottom-up". We illustrate the challenges of implementing the said model into the organizational construction of the BruderhausDiakonie and how to address these by means of conception and implementation. Conclusion Considering the implementational challenges that we encountered, the Nijmegen Model needs to be enhanced by introducing a link between the committee and the case deliberations. We delineate the basic elements and the requirements for such a position while reporting our initial practical experience with this model.}, language = {de} }
