An experimental approach to linguistic representation
HP Branigan, MJ Pickering - Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2017 - cambridge.org
Within the cognitive sciences, most researchers assume that it is the job of linguists to
investigate how language is represented, and that they do so largely by building theories …

structure of semantic memory, whereas the executive theory of creativity emphasises the …

Priming is swell, but it's far from simple
Clearly, structural priming is a valuable tool for probing linguistic representation. But we
don't think that the existing results provide strong support for Branigan & Pickering's (B&P's) …

[PDF][PDF] Priming methods in semantics and pragmatics
Structural priming is a powerful method to inform linguistic theories. We argue that this
method extends nicely beyond syntax, to theories of meaning. However, priming should still …

The logic of syntactic priming and acceptability judgments
A critical flaw in Branigan & Pickering's (B&P's) advocacy of structural priming is the absence
of a theory of priming. This undermines their claims about the value of priming as a …

[PDF][PDF] Considering experimental and observational evidence of priming together, syntax doesn't look so autonomous
We agree with Branigan & Pickering (B&P) that structural priming experiments should
supplant grammaticality judgments for testing linguistic representation. However, B&P …
