The phenomenon of belief bias in syllogistic reasoning occurs when the a priori believability of a conclusion influences the intuitive acceptability of that conclusion. Prior beliefs about the world can be formalized into a probabilistic generative model of situations. Tessler and Goodman (2014) proposed that this very idea can account for the range of acceptabilities of conclusions from catego...

Honori c agreement is one of the main properties of languages like Korean or Japanese, playing an important role in appropriate communication. This makes the deep processing of honori c information crucial in various computational applications such as spoken language translation and generation. We argue that, contrary to the previous literature, an adequate analysis of Korean honori cation invo...

Judgments of linguistic unacceptability may theoretically arise from either grammatical deviance or significant processing difficulty. Acceptability data are thus naturally ambiguous in theories that explicitly distinguish formal and functional constraints. Here, we consider this source ambiguity problem in the context of Superiority effects: the dispreference for ordering a wh-phrase in front ...
