We will meet at *2:30 pm* on Monday 4/8 instead of the usual 3pm for Psychosyntax. Amanda Rysling will walk us through a very interesting (and provocative!) paper by Lisa Pearl and Jon Sprouse, as well as talk about how this work might relate tot he presence of syntactic satiation effects that arise in certain island violations. The paper she'll present is entitled "Syntactic Islands and Learning Biases: Combining Experimental Syntax and Computational Modeling to Investigate the Language Acquisition Problem." (KBJ: the article has some things in it that aren't in the title.) The paper can be found here.
