Abstract A psychophysical analysis of referential communication establishes a causal link between a visual stimulus and a speaker’s perception of this stimulus, and between the speaker’s internal representation and their reference production. Her

Finding the bigger picture: macro- (but not micro-) level features of the discourse reveal age-related differences in referential choice

A common-held belief, based on half a century of research, is that the domain of language remains relatively stable over the adult lifespan. However, emerging research in one particular area of language (pragmatics) suggests otherwise: there studies

Demonstrative systems: From linguistic typology to social cognition

Autor: Paula, Rubio-Fernandez

Publikováno v: Cognitive Psychology. 139:101519

This study explores the connection between language and social cognition by empirically testing different typological analyses of various demonstrative systems. Linguistic typology classifies demonstrative systems as distance-oriented or person-orien

In referential communication, gaze is often interpreted as a social cue that facilitates comprehension and enables word learning. Here we investigated the degree to which head turning facilitates gaze following. We presented participants with static

Previous research has pointed at communicative efficiency as a possible constraint on language structure. Here we investigated adjective position in American Sign Language (ASL), a language with relatively flexible word order, to test the incremental
