Experimental evidence for gradient effects and their consequences for theories of grammar
A common assumption in linguistics is that grammar is fundamentally binary: sentences are grammatical or ungrammatical, but they cannot have intermediate grammaticality values. As a result, the gradation that we typically observe in empirical measures (e.g. acceptability judgment ratings, response times, electrophysiological responses) is attributed to extra-grammatical factors, such as memory limitations, plausibility factors and so on and so forth. In this talk, I will discuss three sets of experimental studies that challenge these assumptions or some of their implications. I will show that: (i) syntactic violations might be violations to a degree, (ii) sentence processing operations might occur to a degree, and (iii) sentence comprehension might be less flawless that we would expect it to be if the parser were tightly aligned with a binary grammar. After reviewing these results, my hope is to encourage some discussion about the consequences of these findings for theories of grammars, from binary approaches to continuous ones.
