The problematic concept of native speaker in psycholinguistics: Replacing vague and harmful terminology with inclusive and accurate measures
Though the term NATIVE SPEAKER/SIGNER is frequently used in language research, it is
inconsistently conceptualized. Factors, such as age, order, and context of acquisition, in …

The frequency of referential patterns guides pronoun comprehension.
ED Johnson, JE Arnold - Journal of Experimental Psychology …, 2023 - psycnet.apa.org
There is extensive evidence that people are sensitive to the statistical patterns of linguistic
elements at the phonological, lexical, and syntactic levels. However, much less is known …

Individual differences in print exposure predict use of implicit causality in pronoun comprehension and referential prediction
In three experiments, we measured individual patterns of pronoun comprehension
(Experiments 1 and 2) and referential prediction (Experiment 3) in implicit causality (IC) …

Learning the statistics of pronoun reference: By word or by category?
Evidence shows that readers tend to follow recently-encountered patterns for interpreting
ambiguous pronouns. If recent exposure includes frequent pronouns with prepositional …

[HTML][HTML] Language analytic ability, print exposure, memory and comprehension of complex syntax by adult native speakers
E Winckel, E Dąbrowska - Journal of Cognition, 2024 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Nativist theories of language development assume that all native speakers of a particular
language ultimately converge on (more or less) the same grammar, and argue that this is …

Discourse‐level adaptation in pronoun comprehension
It is well established that people adapt to statistical regularities at phonological, lexical, and
syntactic levels. Much less is known about adaptation to discourse‐level structures, such as …
