Unambiguous descriptions were compatible with a single spatial arrangement, whereas ambiguous descriptions permitted two arrangements; a subset of the ambiguous descriptions still determined the relation asserted in the conclusion, whereas another subset did not. Two groups of participants received different instructions: The deduction group should accept conclusions only if they followed with logical necessity from the description, whereas the comprehension group should accept a conclusion if it agreed with their representation of the arrangement. Self-paced reading times increased on sentences that introduced an ambiguity, replicating previous findings in deductive reasoning experiments. This effect was also found in the comprehension group, casting doubt on the interpretation that people consider multiple possible arrangements online. Responses to conclusions could be modelled by a multinomial processing model with four parameters: the probability of constructing a correct mental model, the probability of detecting an ambiguity, and two guessing parameters. Participants with high and with low WMC differed mainly in the probability of successfully constructing a mental model}, language = {en} } @article{HoernigWeskottKliegletal.2006, author = {H{\"o}rnig, Robin and Weskott, Thomas and Kliegl, Reinhold and Fanselow, Gisbert}, title = {Word order variation in spatial descriptions with adverbs}, issn = {0090-502X}, doi = {10.3758/BF03193264}, year = {2006}, abstract = {Previous research has shown that in a three-term spatial reasoning task, the second premise of a German premise pair is especially easy to comprehend if (1) the prepositional object rather than the grammatical subject denotes the given entity, and if (2) the term denoting the given entity precedes the term denoting the new entity. Accordingly, the second premise is easiest to comprehend with noncanonical word order-that is, with the prepositional object in preverbal position denoting the given entity (e.g., To the right of the given object is the new subject). This finding is explained in terms of contextual licensing of noncanonical word order. Here, we discuss and tested two alternative accounts of contextual licensing, given-new and partially ordered set relations (Poset). The given-new account claims that noncanonical word order is licensed by the term denoting the given entity preceding the term denoting the new entity. On the Poset account, noncanonical word order is licensed if the preverbal constituent introduces a new entity that stands in a transitive, irreflexive, and asymmetric relation to a given entity. Comprehension times for second premises with spatial adverbs in four different word orders support both accounts of contextual licensing; Poset licensing was stronger than given-new licensing.}, language = {en} } @misc{AichertStaigerSchulteMaeteretal.2010, author = {Aichert, Ingrid and Staiger, Anja and Schulte-M{\"a}ter, Anne and Becker-Redding, Ulrike and Stahn, Corinna and Peschke, Claudia and Heide, Judith and Ott, Susan and Herrmann, Heike and V{\"o}lsch, Juliane and Mayer, J{\"o}rg and Rohnke, Lucie and Frank, Ulrike and Stadie, Nicole and Jentsch, Nadine and Blech, Anke and Kurtenbach, Stephanie and Thieke, Johanna and Schr{\"o}der, Astrid and Stahn, Corinna and H{\"o}rnig, Robin and Burchert, Frank and De Bleser, Ria and Heister, Julian and Bartels, Luise and W{\"u}rzner, Kay-Michael and B{\"o}hme, Romy and Burmester, Juliane and Krajewski, Melanie and Nager, Wido and Jungeh{\"u}lsing, Gerhard Jan and Wartenburger, Isabell and J{\"o}bges, Michael and Schwilling, Eleonore and Lidzba, Karen and Winkler, Susanne and Konietzko, Andreas and Kr{\"a}geloh-Mann, Ingeborg and Rilling, Eva and Wilken, Rainer and Wismann, Kathrin and Glandorf, Birte and Hoffmann, Hannah and Hinnenkamp, Christiane and Rohlmann, Insa and Ludewigt, Jacqueline and Bittner, Christian and Orlov, Tatjana and Claus, Katrin and Ehemann, Christine and Winnecken, Andreas and Hummel, Katja and Breitenstein, Sarah}, title = {Spektrum Patholinguistik = Schwerpunktthema: Von der Programmierung zur Artikulation : Sprechapraxie bei Kindern und Erwachsenen}, number = {3}, editor = {Wahl, Michael and Stahn, Corinna and Hanne, Sandra and Fritzsche, Tom}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, organization = {Verband f{\"u}r Patholinguistik e.

Adopting an optimality theory (OT) approach, it is assumed that in the German adult grammar word order is ranked lower than focus and definiteness. Faithfulness of children's reproductions decreased as markedness of inputs increased; unmarked structures were reproduced most faithfully and unfaithful outputs had most often an unmarked form. Consistent with the OT proposal, children were more tolerant against inputs marked for word order than for focus; in conflict with the proposal, children were less tolerant against inputs marked for word order than for definiteness. Our results suggest that the linearization of objects in German double object constructions is affected by focus and definiteness, but that prosodic principles may have an impact on the position of a focused constituent.}, language = {en} } @article{StahnHoernigBurchertetal.2010, author = {Stahn, Corinna and H{\"o}rnig, Robin and Burchert, Frank and De Bleser, Ria}, title = {Die aphasische Verarbeitung r{\"a}umlicher Relationen}, series = {Spektrum Patholinguistik}, volume = {3}, journal = {Spektrum Patholinguistik}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {1866-9433}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-47025}, pages = {151 -- 154}, year = {2010}, language = {de} }
