Johnson, Alexander A.; Kreuz, Roger J. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2023
Past research has highlighted some differences in how sarcasm is interpreted by different groups of individuals as well as biases in individuals' expectations regarding who is more likely to use it (e.g., occupation, gender). However, examinations of patterns of sarcasm production have been much less frequent. The current research extends past…

Lee, Hye Yeon; List, Alexandra – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2023
This study examined the role of relevance determinations within the context of undergraduates' multiple text reading and writing. In this study, undergraduate students were randomly assigned to one of two experimental conditions (i.e., to compose a research report about either the causes of or the solutions to the urban housing crisis), using a…

Keevallik, Leelo; Hofstetter, Emily; Weatherall, Ann; Wiggins, Sally – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2023
This study investigates the practice of "sounding for others," wherein one person vocalizes to enact someone else's putatively ongoing bodily sensation. We argue that it constitutes a collaborative way of performing sensorial experiences. Examples include producing cries with others' strain or pain and parents sounding an "mmm"…

Guydish, Andrew J.; Fox Tree, Jean E. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2023
How do people determine whether a conversation is good or bad? Do conversational phenomena (reaching common ground, striving to contribute equally, successful conversational closings) influence judgments of conversation quality and recall of conversations? We tested whether individuals reading previously transcribed conversations considered…

Steciuch, Christian C.; Millis, Keith; Kopatich, Ryan D. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2023
A large body of research has outlined how mental models are formed by comprehending texts, yet relatively less work has been conducted in the field of comprehending artworks. Trans-symbolic comprehension (TSC) processes have been theorized to partially account for how mental models are formed across media. The current study tested whether…

Abendroth, Johanna; Richter, Tobias – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2023
Readers often prioritize processing and comprehension of information perceived as relevant to a particular intention. Using a repeated-measurement study, we investigated how readers' prior beliefs and external reading perspectives influence processing and comprehension of belief-relevant texts on two socioscientific controversies. University…

Smith, Maverick E.; Kurby, Christopher A.; Bailey, Heather R. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2023
We segment what we read into meaningful events, each separated by a discrete boundary. How does event segmentation during encoding relate to the structure of story information in long-term memory? To evaluate this question, participants read stories of fictional historical events and then engaged in a postreading verb arrangement task. In this…

Dicataldo, Raffaele; Moscardino, Ughetta; Mammarella, Irene Cristina; Roch, Maja – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2023
Listening narrative comprehension is a complex process that requires the processing of explicit (i.e., information presented in the text) and implicit information (i.e., information inferable from the text) and involves several linguistic and cognitive skills. However, the specific role of these skills in children's comprehension remains unclear.…

Cranford, Edward A.; Moss, Jarrod – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2023
When a situation could lead to multiple mutually exclusive consequences, recent research shows that people automatically generate multiple predictive inferences in memory. Several theoretical mechanisms have been proposed to account for the generation of predictive inferences. One hypothesis is that inferences are minimally encoded, represented…

Cokal, Derya; Filik, Ruth; Sturt, Patrick; Poesio, Massimo – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2023
Corpus evidence suggests that in contexts in which the presence of multiple antecedents might favor plural reference, the disadvantage observed for singular reference may disappear if the potential antecedents are combined in a group-like plural entity. We examined the relative salience of antecedents in conditions where the context either made a…

Clelland, Harry T.; Haigh, Matthew – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2023
Uncertain language can be used to express genuine uncertainty but can also be used to manage face (e.g., by softening bad news). These conflicting motivations can create ambiguity in health communication. In this preregistered two-part experiment, participants assumed the position of a health specialist and wrote a letter communicating either a…

Smith, Emily R.; Lea, R. Brooke; O'Brien, Edward J. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2023
The current set of experiments was designed to explore the processing of spatial information during reading, specifically the "spatial-shift" effect and the "spatial-gradient" effect. Experiments 1 and 2 demonstrated that when participants were presented with text alone (i.e., without prior map memorization, virtual…

Eekhof, Lynn S.; van Krieken, Kobie; Sanders, José; Willems, Roel M. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2023
This article explores the role of text and reader characteristics in character engagement experiences. In an online study, participants completed several self-report and behavioral measures of social-cognitive abilities and read two literary narratives in which the presence of linguistic viewpoint markers was varied using a highly controlled…

Currie, Nicola K.; Cain, Kate – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2023
We examined knowledge-based inference in 6-, 8- and 10-year-olds. Participants listened to texts where the number of clues for an inference was manipulated and then judged whether single-word probes (target inference, competing inference, literal word from the text and an unrelated concept) were related to the story. Accuracy and response times…

Axelrod, Daryl; Kahn, Jennifer – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2023
Large-scale data and data visualizations are ubiquitous now in the stories that shape our society. In particular, these stories influence youth and families' communication and understanding of scientific, social, and personal issues. Consequently, we need to better understand how youth and families can engage and learn with the tools that generate…
