Interpreting Adjuncts: Processing English As-Clauses.
Frazier L, Clifton C Jr. Frazier L, et al. Among authors: clifton c jr. Lang Speech. 2022 Mar;65(1):193-215. doi: 10.1177/00238309211000801. Epub 2021 Mar 19. Lang Speech. 2022. PMID: 33736524
Four experiments probed the interpretation of sentence-final as-clauses (e.g., Close the book as a librarian would/would do) ambiguous between a manner interpretation and a "propositional" interpretation. ...

The prosodic accent advantage in phoneme detection: Importance of local context.
Clifton C Jr, Rysling A, Bishop J. Clifton C Jr, et al. Atten Percept Psychophys. 2022 Jan;84(1):244-259. doi: 10.3758/s13414-021-02371-5. Epub 2021 Sep 30. Atten Percept Psychophys. 2022. PMID: 34595686
Previous research (e.g., Cutler, Perception & Psychophysics, 20, 55-60, 1976) has shown that detection of the initial phoneme of a word is speeded when the word is pronounced with a focal accent. ...

Stress matters revisited: a boundary change experiment.
Breen M, Clifton C Jr. Breen M, et al. Among authors: clifton c jr. Q J Exp Psychol (Hove). 2013;66(10):1896-909. doi: 10.1080/17470218.2013.766899. Epub 2013 Feb 21. Q J Exp Psychol (Hove). 2013. PMID: 23425386 Free PMC article.
This claim was supported by the observation that syntactic reanalysis that required concurrent metrical reanalysis (e.g., a change from the noun form of abstract to the verb form) resulted in longer reading times than syntactic reanalysis that did not require metrical rean …

Without his shirt off he saved the child from almost drowning: interpreting an uncertain input.
Frazier L, Clifton C Jr. Frazier L, et al. Among authors: clifton c jr. Lang Cogn Neurosci. 2015 Jul 1;30(6):635-647. doi: 10.1080/23273798.2014.995109. Lang Cogn Neurosci. 2015. PMID: 25984551 Free PMC article.
Unedited speech and writing often contains errors, e.g., the blending of alternative ways of expressing a message. As a result comprehenders are faced with decisions about what the speaker may have intended, which may not be the same as the grammatically-licensed compositi …

Information structure expectations in sentence comprehension.
Carlson K, Dickey MW, Frazier L, Clifton C Jr. Carlson K, et al. Among authors: clifton c jr. Q J Exp Psychol (Hove). 2009 Jan;62(1):114-39. doi: 10.1080/17470210701880171. Epub 2008 Apr 18. Q J Exp Psychol (Hove). 2009. PMID: 18609404 Free PMC article.
This expectation should in turn affect how they comprehend focus-sensitive constructions such as ellipsis sentences. Results from four experiments on sluicing sentences (e.g., The mobster implicated the thug, but we can't find out who else) suggest that perceivers do prefe …

Processing and domain selection: Quantificational variability effects.
Harris JA, Clifton C Jr, Frazier L. Harris JA, et al. Among authors: clifton c jr. Lang Cogn Process. 2013;28(10):1519-1544. doi: 10.1080/01690965.2012.679663. Lang Cogn Process. 2013. PMID: 25328262 Free PMC article.
Three studies investigated how readers interpret sentences with variable quantificational domains, e.g., The army was mostly in the capital, where mostly may quantify over individuals or parts (Most of the army was in the capital) or over times (The army was in the capital …

Stress Matters: Effects of Anticipated Lexical Stress on Silent Reading.
Breen M, Clifton C Jr. Breen M, et al. Among authors: clifton c jr. J Mem Lang. 2011 Feb 1;64(2):153-170. doi: 10.1016/j.jml.2010.11.001. Epub 2010 Dec 17. J Mem Lang. 2011. PMID: 22707848 Free PMC article.
In Experiment 1, participants read stress-alternating noun-verb or noun-adjective homographs (e.g. PREsent, preSENT) embedded in limericks, such that the lexical stress of the homograph, as determined by context, either matched or mismatched the metrical pattern of the lim …

Scale structure: processing minimum standard and maximum standard scalar adjectives.
Frazier L, Clifton C Jr, Stolterfoht B. Frazier L, et al. Among authors: clifton c jr. Cognition. 2008 Jan;106(1):299-324. doi: 10.1016/j.cognition.2007.02.004. Epub 2007 Mar 21. Cognition. 2008. PMID: 17376422 Free PMC article.
We report four experiments designed to investigate the processing of absolute adjectives with a maximum standard (e.g., clean) and their minimum standard antonyms (dirty). The central hypothesis is that the denotation of an absolute adjective introduces a 'standard value' …

Processing Elided Verb Phrases with Flawed Antecedents: the Recycling Hypothesis.
Arregui A, Clifton C, Frazier L, Moulton K. Arregui A, et al. Among authors: clifton c. J Mem Lang. 2006 Aug;55(2):232-246. doi: 10.1016/j.jml.2006.02.005. J Mem Lang. 2006. PMID: 17710192 Free PMC article.
Traditional syntactic accounts of verb phrase ellipsis (e.g. "Jason laughed. Sam did [ ] too.") categorize as ungrammatical many sentences that language users find acceptable (they "undergenerate"); semantic accounts overgenerate. ...
