“…This result is consistent with Ullman's claim that declarative memory and procedural memory compete, with declarative memory preempting procedural memory for the most disperse expressions. This result is also consistent with recent studies in morphology (Schmidtke et al 2017;Lõo et al 2018) showing that frequency (i.e., declarative knowledge) impacts morphological processing sooner than morphological factors (i.e., procedural knowledge).…”

“…Further exploring the interaction between declarative knowledge and procedural knowledge in this way should lead to a better understanding of intuitions about grammaticality. The methodology used by Lõo et al (2018) seems ideally suited to such a task. Gries (2012: 477) laments, "Linguistics is fundamentally a divided discipline, as far as theoretical foundations and empirical methodologies are concerned."…”

“…Nevertheless, the concept of parallel processing routes working at different speeds has been supported by recent work in morphology (Schmidtke et al 2017;Lõo et al 2018), and it is this aspect of Ullman's model that we test in this paper. Schmidtke et al (2017) conducted a series of lexical decision and eye movement experiments on English and Dutch morphologically derived (teach + er), pseudo derived (corn + er), and simple words.…”

“…They point out that their results support "dual-or multi-route theories of morphological processing, which argue for a parallel and interactive use of properties associated with whole words and their morphemes" (Schmidtke et al 2017: 18). Lõo et al (2018) conducted a large-scaled word naming study of Estonian nouns. They measured the delay between stimulus presentation and beginning of articulation (production latency).…”

Linguists debate the nature of grammatical knowledge. Many argue it is innate knowledge of syntactic structure that we use when generating utterances; others argue it emerges from linguistic experience, and forms exemplars for modeling novel utterances. Yet, still others argue that grammatical forms are processed in parallel by both types of knowledge (innate or otherwise), and crucially, that these two processing routes compete with each other.Our objective is to support the dual route argument with a corpus study illustrating the interaction of these two types of knowledge. We interpret two proxies as indicators of these two types of knowledge: syntactic complexity for generative knowledge and dispersion for emergent knowledge. Previous psycholinguistic work has shown that increased syntactic complexity correlates with increased judgment reaction times. Conversely, increased dispersion correlates with decreased judgment reaction times. If these two processing mechanisms compete, then we predict an interaction: specifically, we hypothesize that the more dispersed a linguistic form is, the less influence syntactic complexity has.We conducted a mixed-effects logistic regression analysis on case marker omissions in Japanese. Our results show that a casual speech style, a dispersed object-verb pair, and a syntactically simple noun phrase for the object correlate with increased case marker omission. More importantly, syntactic complexity and dispersion interact: as dispersion decreases, the estimated coefficient for syntactic complexity increases. These results support the claim that generative knowledge and emergent knowledge compete during language processing.

“…Many studies have shown that syntagmatic and paradigmatic aspects of morphological structure may have an impact on the phonetic realisation of complex words (e.g. Cohen 2014a,b;Kuperman et al 2007;Lee-Kim et al 2013;Lõo et al 2018;Plag et al 2017;Schuppler et al 2012;Smith et al 2012;Sproat and Fujimura 1993;Zimmermann 2016, among many others). By 'syntagmatic' we mean the relationship between elements that occur in linear order in a stretch of speech or writing, while by 'paradigmatic' we mean the relationship of a given element to elements in absentia.…”

Paradigmatic enhancement of stem vowels in regular English inflected verb forms

Many theories of word structure in linguistics and morphological processing in cognitive psychology are grounded in a compositional perspective on the (mental) lexicon in which complex words are built up during speech production from sublexical elements such as morphemes, stems, and exponents. When combined with the hypothesis that storage in the lexicon is restricted to the irregular, the prediction follows that properties specific to regular inflected words cannot co-determine the phonetic realization of these inflected words. This study shows that the stem vowels of regular English inflected verb forms that are more frequent in their paradigm are produced with more enhanced articulatory gestures in the midsaggital plane, challenging compositional models of lexical processing. The effect of paradigmatic probability dovetails well with the Paradigmatic Enhancement Hypothesis and is consistent with a growing body of research indicating that the whole is more than its parts.
