Resumo: A tarefa de julgamento de aceitabilidade de sentenças temporalizadas é uma das técnicas de eliciação de julgamentos na qual se impõem restrições temporais aos juízes. Propõe-se que essa técnica proporciona observações mais fidedignas de conhecimento implícito e processos automatizados. Este estudo explora a definição de tetos temporais mínimos para a execução dessa tarefa por falantes nativos das línguas dos estímulos, assim como avalia o impacto do recrutamento de amostras de conveniência, formadas por participantes com treinamento em estudos de linguagem, sobre esse tipo de experimento. Os resultados indicam não haver impacto crítico dessa forma de amostragem de conveniência, e que efeitos de gramaticalidade são detectáveis com janelas temporais de 4 segundos para cada sentença.Palavras-chave: Aceitabilidade; Gramaticalidade; Julgamentos temporalizados; Amostragem de conveniência.Abstract: The speeded sentence acceptability judgment task is a technique for the elicitation of judgments in which temporal constraints are imposed on judges. It is suggested that such technique provides more reliable observations of implicit knowledge and automatic processes. This study explored the setting of minimal temporal ceilings for performance in the speeded acceptability judgment task by native speakers of the stimuli languages, and it also assessed the impact of convenience sampling where participants with language studies backgrounds are recruited. The results show that there is no critical impact of this kind of convenience sampling, and they also show that grammaticality effects are detectable within a time window of 4 seconds per sentence.Keywords: Acceptability; Grammaticality; Speeded Judgments; Convenience Sampling.
This study aims to add to the body of evidence regarding the linguistic structures that seem to be more challenging in L2 acquisition than in L1 acquisition (DeKeyser, 2005; Ellis, 2008; Inagaki, 2001; Slabakova, 2014; Sorace, 2011). The Negative Evidence Hypothesis (NEH) (AUTHOR) predicts that bilinguals are less sensitive than native speakers to violations resulted from the overgeneralization of an L2-specific rule. We tested this hypothesis by analyzing the behavior of Brazilian Portuguese-English bilinguals with different profiles towards double-object construction with unlicensed verbs in two acceptability judgment tasks. The results corroborate the NEH by conveying that bilinguals gain sensitivity as they become more proficient, yet, the data suggests that not even when immersed in the L2, they become as sensitive as native speakers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
