Title

Methods in Cognitive Linguistics

Edited by Monica Gonzalez-Marquez, Irene Mittelberg †, Seana Coulson and Michael J. Spivey

Methods in Cognitive Linguistics is an introduction to empirical methodology for language researchers. Intended as a handbook to exploring the empirical dimension of the theoretical questions raised by Cognitive Linguistics, the volume presents guidelines for employing methods from a variety of… read more

Spivey, Michael J. 2022 Language happens Dynamism in Metaphor and Beyond, Colston, Herbert L., Teenie Matlock and Gerard J. Steen (eds.), pp. 341–356 | Chapter

This chapter provides a brief tour through the history of psycholinguistics with a running thread that follows the work of Raymond W. Gibbs, Jr. and an evolution toward more ecologically valid approaches and interactive embodied perspectives on how language works. Rather than treating language… read more

Dale, Rick and Michael J. Spivey 2018 Chapter 4. Weaving oneself into others: Coordination in conversational systems Eye-tracking in Interaction: Studies on the role of eye gaze in dialogue, Brône, Geert and Bert Oben (eds.), pp. 67–90 | Chapter

We review a range of findings that show how eye movements (and other body movements) exhibit correlated behavior across two or more people during natural interactions. We then synthesize these different results into a more general account of how people’s cognitive, sensory and motor systems… read more

Spivey, Michael J. and Stephanie Huette 2016 Towards a situated view of language Visually Situated Language Comprehension, Knoeferle, Pia, Pirita Pyykkönen-Klauck and Matthew W. Crocker (eds.), pp. 1–30 | Article

By examining a brief history of psycholinguistics and its various approaches to research on sentence processing, we point to a general convergence toward evidence that multiple different linguistic constraints interact in real-time to allow for successful comprehension of a sentence.  While some… read more

Huette, Stephanie and Michael J. Spivey 2012 Fuzzy consciousness Being in Time: Dynamical models of phenomenal experience, Edelman, Shimon, Tomer Fekete and Neta Zach (eds.), pp. 149–164 | Article

This chapter explores the consequences of treating consciousness as a fuzzy dynamical system. A fuzzy dynamical system is one in which labeled concepts and percepts are altered as a function of context and conditions, and these changes occur continuously in time. We offer speculations on the… read more

Anderson, Sarah E., Thomas A. Farmer, Michael Goldstein, Jennifer Schwade and Michael J. Spivey 2011 Individual differences in measures of linguistic experience account for variability in the sentence processing skill of five-year-olds Experience, Variation and Generalization: Learning a first language, Arnon, Inbal and Eve V. Clark (eds.), pp. 203–222 | Article

The mechanisms underlying developmental transitions in sentence processing are not well understood. Eyetracking research demonstrates that five-year-olds do not use visual scene cues to constrain their interpretation of sentences as adults do (e.g. Snedeker & Trueswell 2004). This research also… read more

Richardson, Daniel C., Rick Dale and Michael J. Spivey 2007 Eye movements in language and cognition: A brief introduction Methods in Cognitive Linguistics, Gonzalez-Marquez, Monica, Irene Mittelberg †, Seana Coulson and Michael J. Spivey (eds.), pp. 323–344 | Article

Spivey, Michael J. 2007 Redesigning our theories of human information processing  Discourse, Cognition and Communication, Sanders, Ted J.M. and Leo Lentz (eds.), pp. 261–265 | Miscellaneous

Spivey, Michael J., Stanka A. Fitneva, Whitney Tabor and Sameer Ajmani 2002 The time course of information integration in sentence processing The Lexical Basis of Sentence Processing: Formal, computational and experimental issues, Merlo, Paola and Suzanne Stevenson (eds.), pp. 207–232 | Article

Spivey, Michael J., Gary Lupyan, Raymond W. Gibbs, Jr., Michael K. Tanenhaus and Seana Coulson  Seventeen times six equals eleven-twelve: A multi-level analysis of a conversation with Donald Trump Interaction Studies: Online-First Articles | Article

In this interdisciplinary examination of a complex multi-party conversation, we apply a variety of theoretical perspectives and tools for understanding discourse to a segment of a popular talk show. We use a broad range of psycholinguistic and social psychological principles and methodologies to… read more
