• Experimental syntax and the variation of island effects in English and Italian (2016, methodology): “Given that subject islands with English wh-dependencies have demonstrated significant interactions in at least three previous studies (Sprouse 2007, Sprouse et al. 2011, and Sprouse et al. 2012), we take this nearly-significant result to be a consequence of the modified factorial design used here.”
• A test of the relation between working-memory capacity and syntactic island effects (2012, background): “ISLAND | EMBEDDED As the labels in (5) indicate, this design contains two factors (STRUCTURE and GAP-POSITION) each with two levels (ISLAND/NON-ISLAND and MATRIX/EMBEDDED) (see also Sprouse et al. 2011).”
