Environment prototypicality in syntactic alternation
1. Introduction This paper investigates the effect of changing syntactic categories on speaker choice, using the needs to be done ∼ needs doing alternation as the testing ground. The two alternants in this alternation have different syntactic properties , and so we hypothesize that the syntactic preferences of the alternation's environment influence alternant choice. Our hypothesis is that, all...

Theoretical linguistics traditionally relies on linguistic intuitions such as grammaticality judgments for data.

Moreover, studies of usage as well as intuitive judgments have shown that linguistic intuitions of grammaticality are ...

Prototypicality in sentence production.
Three cued-recall experiments examined the effect of category typicality on the ordering of words in sentence production. Past research has found that typical items tend to be mentioned before atypical items in a phrase--a pattern usually associated with lexical variables (like word frequency), and yet typicality is a conceptual variable. Experiment 1 revealed that an appropriate conceptual fra...
متن کاملThe Dative Alternation in African American English : Researching Syntactic Variation and Change in a
Recent research has shown the dative alternation in English to be a productive arena for examining the relationship between group-level variation and the internalization of individuals’ grammars. Experimental methods (e.g., Bresnan and Ford 2010) and the analysis of large published corpora (e.g., Bresnan et al. 2007) have revealed subtle cross-dialect differences for this variable. The current ...
