Models of language production must account for how speakers select referential
expressions, a process that is complicated by the range of options available to speakers (eg …

Variation in the speech signal as a window into the cognitive architecture of language production
A Bürki - Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2018 - Springer
The pronunciation of words is highly variable. This variation provides crucial information
about the cognitive architecture of the language production system. This review summarizes …

Prosodic modulations in child‐directed language and their impact on word learning
Child‐directed language can support language learning, but how? We addressed two
questions:(1) how caregivers prosodically modulated their speech as a function of word …

Dynamically adapted context-specific hyper-articulation: Feedback from interlocutors affects speakers' subsequent pronunciations
E Buz, MK Tanenhaus, TF Jaeger - Journal of memory and language, 2016 - Elsevier
We ask whether speakers can adapt their productions when feedback from their
interlocutors suggests that previous productions were perceptually confusable. To address …

[HTML][HTML] Mothers consistently alter their unique vocal fingerprints when communicating with infants
The voice is the most direct link we have to others' minds, allowing us to communicate using
a rich variety of speech cues [1, 2]. This link is particularly critical early in life as parents draw …

A kinematic study of phonetic reduction in a young sign language
Phonetic reduction arises in the course of typical language production, when language
users produce a less clearly articulated form of a word. An important factor that affects …

Some inferences still take time: Prosody, predictability, and the speed of scalar implicatures
YT Huang, J Snedeker - Cognitive psychology, 2018 - Elsevier
Experimental pragmatics has gained many insights from understanding how people use
weak scalar terms (like some) to infer that a stronger alternative (like all) is false. Early …

[HTML][HTML] A usage-based alternative to “lexicalization” in sign language linguistics
R Lepic - Glossa: a journal of general linguistics, 2019 - glossa-journal.org
The usage-based framework considers linguistic structure to be emergent from how human
languages are used, and shaped by domain-general cognitive processes. This paper …
