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).”
The logic of syntactic priming and acceptability judgments (2016, unknown): “2 Priming effects can also be inhibitory (e.g., Goldinger, Luce, and Pisoni 1989), and speakers may on occasion avoid linguistic repetition (see Szmrecsanyi 2006).”
Dispersions and adjusted frequencies in corpora (2008, background): “…interesting results in a variety of applications — the syntax-lexis interface (Gries & Stefanowitsch 2004a, b), syntactic priming (Gries 2005; Szmrecsanyi 2005, 2006), second language acquisition (Gries & Wulff 2005) — and it has experimentally been shown to be a better predictor of native…”
Testing convergence via code-switching: priming and the structure of variable subject expression (2011, background): “…due to a lexical enhancement effect (cf. Gries, 2005; Hartsuiker, Bernolet, Schoonbaer, Speybroeck, & Vanderelst, 2008; Pickering & Branigan, 1998; Szmrecsanyi, 2006), such that the repetition of yo leads to a stronger priming effect than from I to yo (though see Schoonbaert et al., 2007 on the…”
Modeling diachronic change in the third person singular: a multifactorial, verb- and author-specific exploratory approach1 (2010, result): “As suggested in the analyses by Kytö (1993) and Nevalainen & Raumolin-Brunberg (2003), some factors are in effect only at certain times.”
Recent changes in the function and frequency of Standard English genitive constructions: a multivariate analysis of tagged corpora (2007, background): “In a similar vein to Szmrecsanyi (2006), then, we consider type–token ratio a proxy variable for lexical density: the more different word types we find in a given passage, the higher the lexical density and the more pressing the need to code economically.”
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.”
Argument Structure in Usage-Based Construction Grammar: Experimental and corpus-based perspectives (2015, background): “Evidence for syntactic priming has also been found in corpora, whereby the use of a particular syntactic structure increases, other things being equal, the likelihood of the same structure being used in subsequent discourse (cf. Gries, 2005, 2007; Szmrecsanyi, 2006).”
