The myth of language universals: language diversity and its importance for cognitive science. (2009, background): “…findings suggest that speakers are sensitive to putatively UG restrictions unattested in their language while ignoring other regularities that are equally motivated on statistical and phonetic grounds (Becker et al., submitted; Davidson 2006; Hayes et al., submitted; Moreton 2008; Wilson 2006).”
Natural and Unnatural Constraints in Hungarian Vowel Harmony (2009, background): “A less direct form of a poverty-of-the-stimulus experiment (e.g. Wilson 2003a, Holt et al. 2004, Carpenter 2005, Moreton 2008) uses more than one artificial language, comparing how easily experimental participants learn them.”
Variable affix order: Grammar and learning (2010, background): “…are imposed by the synchronic morphology as opposed to being diachronic artifacts with explanations in other domains (on piecing apart synchronic and diachronic explanation of typological generalizations, see e.g. Blevins 2004, Kiparsky 2006, Wilson 2006, Anderson 2008, and Moreton 2008).”
