Conflicting cues and competition in subject-verb agreement

Article Abstract:

The impact of syntactic and non-syntactic factors on subject-verb agreement is studied through the constraint satisfaction approach. Conflict between cues leading to competition was seen to have influence on agreement and the evidence pointed to the constraint-satisfaction framework being a productive approach to understanding agreement production.

The prosodic bootstrapping of phrases: evidence from prelinguistic infants

Article Abstract:

An examination of the sensitivity of infants to phrase-level prosodic cues and their use of this sensitivity to process continuous speech is carried out. The results obtained indicate that while such an ability does exist in infants as young as six months old, it varies according to the strength or number of cues connected to the syntactic units.

Two speech tests were conducted involving a simple response task and a choice task. The results indicated that listeners rapidly extracted information about speakersE articulatory gestures and that the motor theory of speech perception and direct realist theory best fits the nature of the findings.
