Thanks to E. Matthew Husband for a great and stimulating talk today on prediction during incremental sentence processing!

CONGRATULATIONS to DOCTOR Tina Louise Strømholt Ringstad on successfully defending her dissertation “Acquiring Variation: a study of children’s and adult’s embedded clause word order in Norwegian”!!!!!!!!

Happy to announce #openaccess publication of “Principle B constrains the processing of cataphora...” with @linguistbrian in JML! doi.org/10.1016/j.jml.…

Excited to announce Anna Giskes🌱’ article “Processing Cataphors: active antecedent search is persistent” has now been published #openaccess in M&C. Read it here!!: doi.org/10.3758/s13421…

#reviewer2 just asked us to change “X could be taken as evidence for Y” to “X suggests Y” because our formulation “seems to strong”. ?!
