Discourse conditions on subject pronoun realization: Testing the linguistic intuitions of older bilingual children (2009, background): “Thus, when ambiguity is not at stake native speakers may resort to a ‘good enough’ strategy (Engelhardt et al., 2006; Ferreira et al., 2002; Ferreira and Paxton, 2007) that involves shallow, least-effort encoding or interpretation.”
Generating Expressions that Refer to Visible Objects (2013, background): “The phenomena of overspecification and redundancy, where speakers select properties that have little or no contrastive value, was observed in early developmental studies in visual domains (Ford and Olson, 1975; Whitehurst, 1976; Sonnenschein, 1985) as well as later studies on adult speakers in visua”
Survey of the State of the Art in Natural Language Generation: Core tasks, applications and evaluation (2017, result): “…the impact of a text on its readers, there is nevertheless the possibility that behavioural, online methods designed to directly investigate aspects of processing would yield a different picture, a result that has been obtained in some psycholinguistic studies (e.g. Engelhardt et al., 2006).”
Computational Generation of Referring Expressions: A Survey (2012, background): “This is conﬁrmed by a substantial body of psycholinguistic research (Olson 1970; Sonnenschein 1984; Pechmann 1989; Engelhardt, Bailey, and Ferreira 2006).”
