2024 Word order change in German infinitival complementation: The role of processing factors Diachronica: Online-First Articles | Article
The present article discusses whether processing factors might play a role in the reduction of word order variability in German infinitival complements of control verbs, connecting evidence from a diachronic corpus study to processing considerations and psycholinguistic findings. We show that… read more
2023 Constraints on subject-verb agreement marking in Turkish-German bilingual speakers Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism 13:2, pp. 190–217 | Article
Turkish 3rd person plural subjects normally appear with verbs that are unmarked for number. Following earlier findings which indicate that Turkish heritage speakers (HS) accept overt plural marking more readily compared to monolingually raised Turkish speakers, the present study investigates to… read more
2021 Chapter 3. Second language prediction ability across different linguistic domains: Evidence from German Prediction in Second Language Processing and Learning, Kaan, Edith and Theres Grüter (eds.), pp. 47–68 | Chapter
Previous research suggests that second language (L2) speakers can reliably use lexical-semantic cues for predictive processing but have difficulty using morphosyntactic ones. Here we report the results from a visual-world eye-tracking study that tested first language (L1) Russian/L2 German… read more
2020 Brain responses elicited by implausible fillers and filled object gaps in German Typical and Impaired Processing in Morphosyntax, Torrens, Vincent (ed.), pp. 75–90 | Chapter
We report the results from two experiments on the processing of filler-gap dependencies in German using event-related potentials (ERPs). Our aim was to identify and isolate brain responses linked to semantic vs. syntactic integration processes. Using maximally parallel stimulus materials, we… read more
2019 Straight from the horse’s mouth : Agreement attraction effects with Turkish possessors Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism 9:3, pp. 398–426 | Article
We investigated the comprehension of subject-verb agreement in Turkish-German bilinguals using two tasks. The first task elicited speeded judgments to verb number violations in sentences that contained plural genitive modifiers. We addressed whether these modifiers elicited attraction errors,… read more
2017 Antecedent contained deletions in native and non-native sentence processing Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism 7:5, pp. 554–582 | Article
We report the results from an eye-movement monitoring study investigating native (L1) and non-native (L2) speakers’ real-time processing of antecedent-contained deletion (ACD), a type of verb phrase ellipsis in which the ellipsis gap forms part of its own antecedent. The resulting interpretation… read more
2010 Constraints on L2 learners’ processing of wh-dependencies: Evidence from eye movements Research in Second Language Processing and Parsing, VanPatten, Bill and Jill Jegerski (eds.), pp. 87–110 | Article
Using the eye-movement monitoring technique, the present study examined whether wh-dependency formation is sensitive to island constraints in second language (L2) sentence comprehension, and whether the presence of an intervening relative clause island has any effects on learners’ ability to… read more
