Implicit Learning and Syntactic Persistence: Surprisal and Cumulativity (2007, background): “, in press), while corpus studies have mostly found persistence to decay logarithmically with distance (Gries, 2005; Szmrecsányi, 2005; Reitter, Moore, & Keller, 2006, but see Jaeger, 2006b).”
Predicting syntax: Processing dative constructions in American and Australian varieties of English (2010, background): “A preferable measure, following Szmrecsányi (2005, 2006), is the type of the nearest preceding dative structure in the dialogue.”
Do foreign language learners also have constructions (2005, result): “From both these kinds of results, we expect to find that different verbs result in differently strong priming effects, an issue that has apparently been completely neglected in the experimental literature so far (but cf. Gries [to ap pear] and Szmrecsanyi [to appear] for corpus-based approaches to”
Gradient Grammar: An Effect of Animacy on the Syntax of give in New Zealand and American English (2008, background): “From these and other variables such as the previous occurrence of a parallel structure (Bock 1986, Gries 2005b, Pickering et al. 2002, Szmrecsányi 2005), it is possible to predict the choice of construction for dative verbs in spoken English with 94% accuracy (Bresnan et al. 2007).”
Some Proposals towards a More Rigorous Corpus Linguistics (2006, background): “…experimental studies (cf. for instance Bock 1986 and Pickering and Branigan 1998) and corpus-based work (cf. Sankoff and Laberge 1978, Estival 1985, Szmrecsanyi 2005, Gries 2005a), and the phenomenon has been documented for native speakers of different languages (e.g., German, English, Dutch) as…”
Predicting the dative alternation (2007, methodology): “In addition to these predictors, structural parallelism—the existence of the same kind of structure in the same dialogue—seemed likely to affect the choice of dative structures in our corpus data, based on experimental studies (see Szmrecsanyi 2004b, 2005 for a review of a wide range of evidence).”
Alignment as the Basis for Successful Communication (2006, background): “Szmrecsanyi (2005) found comparable effects using different constructions.”
Priming of Syntactic Rules in Task-Oriented Dialogue and Spontaneous Conversation (2006, background): “Recent work addressed this question, providing evidence for priming effects in corpus data (Gries, 2005; Szmrecsanyi, 2005; Dubey et al., 2005).”
Structural priming: a critical review. (2008, methodology): “A very recent development has been the use of computational methods to precisely quantify structural repetition in fairly large corpora containing several thousand instances of specific linguistic forms (e.g., Gries, 2005; Szmrecsanyi, 2005, 2006).”
Alignment and task success in spoken dialogue (2014, background): “Such criticisms are addressed by work on language elicited outside of artificially created situations, often in the context of spoken dialogue (Levelt and Kelter, 1982; Estival, 1985; Bock and Kroch, 1989; Gries, 2005; Szmrecsanyi, 2006, 2005; Dubey et al., 2005).”
