Breen, Mara; Watson, Duane G.; Gibson, Edward – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2011
This paper evaluates two classes of hypotheses about how people prosodically segment utterances: (1) meaning-based proposals, with a focus on Watson and Gibson's (2004) proposal, according to which speakers tend to produce boundaries before and after long constituents; and (2) balancing proposals, according to which speakers tend to produce…

Fedorenko, Evelina; Piantadosi, Steve; Gibson, Edward – Cognitive Science, 2012
Results from two self-paced reading experiments in English are reported in which subject- and object-extracted relative clauses (SRCs and ORCs, respectively) were presented in contexts that support both types of relative clauses (RCs). Object-extracted versions were read more slowly than subject-extracted versions across both experiments. These…

Mahowald, Kyle; Fedorenko, Evelina; Piantadosi, Steven T.; Gibson, Edward – Cognition, 2013
A major open question in natural language research is the role of communicative efficiency in the origin and on-line processing of language structures. Here, we use word pairs like "chimp/chimpanzee", which differ in length but have nearly identical meanings, to investigate the communicative properties of lexical systems and the communicative…

Watson, Duane; Breen, Mara; Gibson, Edward – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2006
Researchers have hypothesized that words that are highly related semantically are more likely to occur within the same intonational phrase (F. zzaq;, 1988; E. O. Selkirk, 1984). D. Watson and E. Gibson (2004) proposed that semantic closeness can be captured by using the argument/adjunct distinction, such that intonational boundaries are more…
