DOI: 10.1007/s10936-020-09719-2
Abstract: In a self-paced reading study, we investigated how effects of biasing contexts in idiom processing interact with effects of idiom literality. Specifically, we tested if idioms with a high potential for literal interpretation (e.g., break… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10936-020-09744-1
Abstract: The study aims to explore the processing pattern of Mandarin Chinese sentences with complement coercion. Complement coercion is a known linguistic phenomenon in which some verbs, semantically requiring an event-denoting complement, are combined with an… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10936-022-09861-z
Abstract: Idioms entail a competition between bottom-up and top-down activations of literal and figurative meanings. The present study explored the involvement of cognitive control in processing Hebrew ambiguous idioms. Fifty subjects have completed a self-paced reading… read more here.

Comparing predictors of sentence self-paced reading times: Syntactic complexity versus transitional probability metrics
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "PLoS ONE"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0254546
Abstract: When estimating the influence of sentence complexity on reading, researchers typically opt for one of two main approaches: Measuring syntactic complexity (SC) or transitional probability (TP). Comparisons of the predictive power of both approaches have… read more here.
