1993 Subordination and information distribution in oral and written narratives Pragmatics & Cognition 1:1, pp. 51–69 | Article
The ways in which given and new information are distributed, and the functions associated with the distribution, are examined here in terms of information content of relative and adverbial clauses in oral and written narratives. The conventional view that subordinate clauses tend to code given… read more

1980 3. Grammatical simplicity or performative efficiency? Experimental Linguistics: Integration of theories and applications, Prideaux, Gary D., Bruce L. Derwing and Will Baker (eds.), pp. 157–173 | Article
Differences between formal constraints on a generative grammar and concepts of efficiency in transforming sentences provide different expectations regarding performance measures if the grammar is taken as a psychologically "real" model. To contrast these views, subjects were given sentences varying… read more
1980 1. Grammatical properties of sentences as a basis for concept formation. Experimental Linguistics: Integration of theories and applications, Prideaux, Gary D., Bruce L. Derwing and Will Baker (eds.), pp. 121–140 | Article
A concept-formation study was run using sets of sentences in eight different syntactic patterns as target categories. These were based on all possible combinations of voice (active or passive), mood (declarative or interrogative), and modality (affirmative or negative). Subjects were 32 senior high… read more

1980 4. A performative definition of sentence relatedness. Experimental Linguistics: Integration of theories and applications, Prideaux, Gary D., Bruce L. Derwing and Will Baker (eds.), pp. 175–183 | Article
Three sentence families were constructed and the semantic relations among themembers of each family were investigated experimentally. A scaling technique was developed to allow subjects to evaluate the degree of semantic similarity between each pair of sentences in each family. It was found that… read more
1980 6. The recognition of ambiguity. Experimental Linguistics: Integration of theories and applications, Prideaux, Gary D., Bruce L. Derwing and Will Baker (eds.), pp. 203–213 | Article
The syntactic distinction between deep and surface structure ambiguity (MacKay & Bever, 1967) is challenged on theoretical and empirical grounds. It is argued that both types of ambiguity can be resolved at the level of surface syntactic structure, contrary to the MacKay & Bever hypothesis that the… read more
