- Recognition and Representation of Function Words in English-Learning Infants (2006, positive): “On the other hand, functors tend to be reduced and cliticized in speech input (Cutler, 1993; Selkirk, 1996; Shi et al., 1998) and they rarely occur in citation forms; this may make their acoustic realization less precise than that of content words.”
- Can prosody be used to discover hierarchical structure in continuous speech (2012, background): “For example, phrasal prosodic constituents can be exhaustively parsed into a sequence of non-overlapping words (e.g., Nespor & Vogel, 1986; Selkirk, 1984, 1996; Shattuck-Hufnagel & Turk, 1996).”
- Intonational pitch accent distribution in Egyptian Arabic. (2006, methodology): “Special thanks are due therefore to the staff and students of the English Training Centre, Maadi, Cairo, for welcoming me during July 2004 while I was collecting the experimental data, and especially to the core group of speakers who participated in both experiments, and who were a delight to work w”
- Interpretation of English multiple wh-questions by Japanese speakers: a missing uninterpretable feature account (2006, background): “This assumption could also explain the performance of JSE in judging subjacency violations in the studies of Shimizu (1996), Ojima (2005) and Ohba (in progress).”
- of construction probability on word durations during spontaneous incremental sentence production (2012, background): “There is evidence (Selkirk, 2003) that prosodic phrasing is mainly driven by syntactic structure, also specifically in English datives (Anttila, Adams, & Speriosu, 2010).”
