Visiting the Yucatan: more studies on Yucatec Mayan and Mexican Spanish

Heya. There are no results yet, but Katrina Housel, Carlos Gomez Gallo, and I just came back from the Valladolid, Mexico where we piloted and ran 3 studies on Yucatec and 4 studies on Mexican Spanish.

Bibliography: Cross-linguistic work on sentence production

Elisabeth Norcliffe and I are currently working on a short summary paper on cross-linguistic psycholinguistic work on sentence production (experiments and corpus studies w/ a sufficiently large sample and quantitative investigation). We would like to focus this effort on research on:

• accessibility effects on word order, voice, and other morphosyntactic variations
• radical vs moderate incrementality during sentence formulation
• syntactic persistence (within and across languages)
• agreement
• disfluencies (but not speech errors)

If you know of work in any of these areas that we should consider, we would appreciate your feedback. Just leave a comment at the bottom of this page (it’s a moderated forum, so it will not appear immediately, but usually it does not take us longer than a day to accept your posts). You can also send an email to Florian.
