  • cross structural priming prepositional Phrase attachment primes relative clause attachment
    Experimental Psychology, 2011
    Co-Authors: Maaike Loncke, Sebastien Van Laere, Timothy Desmet
    Abstract:

    In this paper we show that attachment height (high vs. low attachment) of a modifier to a complex noun Phrase (CNP; e.g., "the servant of the actress"), can be primed between dissimilar syntactic Structures. In a sentence completion experiment, we found that the attachment height of a prepositional Phrase (PP) in the prime sentence primed the attachment height of a relative clause (RC) in the target sentence. This cross-structural priming effect cannot be explained in terms of the priming of specific Phrase-Structure Rules or even sequences of specific Phrase-Structure Rules (Scheepers, 2003), because the attachment of a PP to a CNP is generated by a different Phrase-Structure Rule than the attachment of an RC. However, the present data suggest that the location at which the RC is attached to the CNP is mentally represented, independent of the specific Phrase-Structure Rule that is attached, or by extension, that the abstract hierarchical configuration of the full CNP and the attached RC is represented (Desmet & Declercq, 2006). This is the first demonstration of a cross-structural priming effect that cannot be captured by Phrase-Structure Rules.

  • Understanding the Models of Grammar
    American Journal of Psychology, 2018
    Co-Authors: Ratna Andhika Mahaputri
    Abstract:

    This article provides comprehensive explanation about several models of grammar. The first model of grammar which is explained is considered from the functional grammar and associated with the American linguist Noam Chomsky that is Transformational Grammar. This model of grammar is consisted of three components they are Phrase Structure Rule, the lexicon, and transformation. The second model of grammar which is explained in this article is Minimalist Grammar. This article also compares her understanding in two models of grammar they are Transformational Grammar and Minimalist Grammar.

  • demystifying the x bar Phrase Structure Rule
    International Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities Review, 2016
    Co-Authors: Uche Oboko
    Abstract:

    The X- bar theory is a major property of natural languages. Often times, the claim of the X-bar Phrase Rule and the conditions in which it applies makes its explanation and understanding difficult especially to language students. The essence of the paper is to demystify the intricacies in the theory and the notion of bar level and uphold the notion of head as the central idea.
