Hammerly published in Cognitive Psychology

Chris Hammerly’s paper “The grammaticality asymmetry in agreement attraction reflects response bias: Experimental and modeling evidence” (co-authors Brian Dillon and Adrian Staub) has been accepted for publication in Cognitive Psychology (pre-print available at: https://psyarxiv.com/6f34y/). In this paper, Chris re-examines and challenges the grammaticality asymmetry in agreement attraction. The grammaticality asymmetry refers to the finding that ungrammatical agreement dependencies may be ‘rescued’ by syntactically inaccessible noun phrases that have the right phi-features, even though those same noun phrases do not seem to interfere with normal, grammatical agreement dependencies. Congratulations, Chris!
