Two experiments tested whether this leads to better encoding and therefore, ultimately, better recall of focus alternatives. Participants were presented with auditory stimuli that introduced a set of elements ("context sentence") and continued in three different versions: the critical sentences either contained the exclusive particle nur ("only"), the inclusive particle sogar ("even"), or no particle (control condition). After being exposed to blocks of ten trials, participants were asked to recall the elements in the context sentence. The results show that both particles enhanced memory performance for the alternatives to the focused element, relative to the control condition. The results support the assumption that information-structural alternatives are better encoded in memory in the presence of a focus sensitive particle.}, language = {en} } @article{BurmesterSpalekWartenburger2014, author = {Burmester, Juliane and Spalek, Katharina and Wartenburger, Isabell}, title = {Context updating during sentence comprehension: The effect of aboutness topic}, series = {Brain \& language : a journal of the neurobiology of language}, volume = {137}, journal = {Brain \& language : a journal of the neurobiology of language}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {San Diego}, issn = {0093-934X}, doi = {10.1016/j.bandl.2014.08.001}, pages = {62 -- 76}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @article{WuerznerHeisterSchroeder2014, author = {W{\"u}rzner, Kay-Michael and Heister, Julian and Schroeder, Sascha}, title = {Altersgruppeneffekte in childLex}, series = {Spektrum Patholinguistik}, journal = {Spektrum Patholinguistik}, number = {7}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {1866-9085}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-71490}, pages = {123 -- 131}, year = {2014}, abstract = {1 Einleitung 2 Stand der Forschung 3 Methode 4 Analysen 5 Diskussion 6 Literatur}, language = {de} } @article{GafosCharlowShawetal.2014, author = {Gafos, Adamantios I. and Charlow, Simon and Shaw, Jason A. and Hoole, Philip}, title = {Stochastic time analysis of syllable-referential intervals and simplex onsets}, series = {Journal of phonetics}, volume = {44}, journal = {Journal of phonetics}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {London}, issn = {0095-4470}, doi = {10.1016/j.wocn.2013.11.007}, pages = {152 -- 166}, year = {2014}, abstract = {We pursue an analysis of the relation between qualitative syllable parses and their quantitative phonetic consequences. To do this, we express the statistics of a symbolic organization corresponding to a syllable parse in terms of continuous phonetic parameters which quantify the timing of the consonants and vowels that make up syllables: consonantal plateau durations, vowel durations, and their variances. These parameters can be estimated from continuous phonetic data. This enables analysis of the link between symbolic phonological form and the continuous phonetics in which this form is manifest. Pursuing such an analysis, we illustrate the predictions of the syllabic organization corresponding to simplex onsets and derive a number of previously experimentally observed and simulation results. Specifically, we derive not only the canonical phonetic manifestations of simplex onsets but also the result that, under certain conditions we make precise, the phonetic indices of the simplex onset organization change to a range of values characteristic of the complex onset organization. Finally, we explore the behavior of phonetic indices for syllabic organization over progressively increasing,sizes of lexical samples, thereby concomitantly diversifying the phonetic context over which these indices are taken.}, language = {en} } @article{CunningsPattersonFelser2014, author = {Cunnings, Ian and Patterson, Clare and Felser, Claudia}, title = {Variable binding and coreference in sentence comprehension: Evidence from eye movements}, series = {Journal of memory and language}, volume = {71}, journal = {Journal of memory and language}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {San Diego}, issn = {0749-596X}, doi = {10.1016/j.jml.2013.10.001}, pages = {39 -- 56}, year = {2014}, language = {en} }
