Long Short-Term Memory-Networks for Machine Reading (2016, background): “It would also be desirable to simulate the behavior of English speakers who process text sequentially, from left to right, fixating nearly every word while they read (Rayner, 1998) and creating partial representations for sentence prefixes (Konieczny, 2000; Tanenhaus et al., 1995).”
Investigating locality effects and surprisal in written English syntactic choice phenomena. (2016, unknown): “…into the previous equation: Sk+1 = − log P (w1...wk+1) P (w1...wk) = log ∑ T P (T,w1...wk)− log ∑ T P (T,w1...wk+1) (2) In addition to locality effects, anti-locality effects have been discussed in the sentence comprehension literature on German (Konieczny 2000) and Hindi (Vasishth & Lewis 2006).”
Online Syntactic Storage Costs in Sentence Comprehension. (2005, background): “In fact, processing appears to speed up over the additional arguments and modifiers of an upcoming head in SOV languages (for results in Japanese, see Miyamoto, 2002; and Nakatani & Gibson, 2003; for results in Hindi, see Vasishth, 2002; for results in German, see Konieczny, 2000; and Konieczny & ”
Predicting syntax: Processing dative constructions in American and Australian varieties of English (2010, methodology): “In the present study we use the dative alternation to compare syntactic predictive behavior of speakers of Australian and American (United States) varieties of English.”
Large-scale evidence of dependency length minimization in 37 languages (2015, background): “In that sense, these baselines may most closely resemble a free word order language as opposed to a language like English, in which the order of words in sentences are relatively fixed.”
An Activation-Based Model of Sentence Processing as Skilled Memory Retrieval (2005, background): “Such apparently puzzling effects have been confirmed now in German (Konieczny, 2000; Vasishth, Cramer, Scheepers, & Wagner, 2003; Vasishth, Scheepers, Uszkoreit, Wagner, & Kruijff, 2004), Hindi (Vasishth, 2003a, 2003b), and Japanese (Gibson, personal communication, July 2003).”
Composition in Distributional Models of Semantics (2010, background): “This incrementality can be useful practically, in integrating with the other components of a speech recognition system, and also cognitively consistent with the incrementality of the human language processor (Tanenhaus et al., 1995; Marslen-Wilson, 1973; Konieczny, 2000).”
Data from eye-tracking corpora as evidence for theories of syntactic processing complexity. (2008, unknown): “The second type of cost corresponds to anti-locality effects which have been reported recently (Konieczny, 2000; Vasishth & Lewis, 2006).”
The statistical significance filter leads to overoptimistic expectations of replicability (2018, result): “This resolves a potentially serious confound in such studies; many of the previous studies (Grodner & Gibson, 2005; Konieczny, 2000; Vasishth & Lewis, 2006) had the verb further downstream in the sentence whenever an additional intervener was present.”
The subject-relative advantage in Chinese: Evidence for expectation-based processing (2015, background): “In earlier work, Konieczny (2000) tested German verb-argument dependencies in verb-final structures and found evidence for processing facilitation as a function of increasing distance between the verb and its”
Expectation-based syntactic comprehension. (2008, methodology): “In an eye-tracking reading study, Konieczny and Döring found that regression-path times for the final verb verkaufte were significantly shorter for the dative condition, where dem Kunden is dependent on the final verb, than for the genitive condition, where des Kundes is dependent on the preceding n”
