PI: Dr. Ming Xiang
The Language Processing Lab is broadly interested in experimental syntax, experimental semantics and pragmatics, and psycholinguistics. Our research projects aim at identifying the linguistic representations we construct in language comprehension and production, and the way we construct them. Our methodologies include self-paced reading, eyetracking and ERP (Event-related-potential) recordings, and web-based studies. We are currently working on:
- Ellipsis resolution
- Negative polarity items
- Scalar implicatures
- Resumptive pronouns
- Agreement
- Reconstruction and binding principle C
- Number words interpretation
- Wh-in-situ questions
