Abstract:
From Wason's selection task to the literature on Dual Systems in reasoning, psychology has a long-standing tradition of demonstrating that people's everyday reasoning does not adhere to logical principles. Linguistics, on the other hand, has a long-standing tradition of attributing a high degree of logical sophistication to all linguistic humans: in mustering notions such as entailment directionality in explanations of, say, negative polarity items, it presupposes the availability of highly complex logical reasoning. The goal of our study is to look for evidence of spontaneous computations of logical inferences during ordinary sentence processing. We design a self-paced reading paradigm which allows us to compare the reading times of identical sentences, where what's manipulated is whether or not the sentence is logically entailed or contradicted by the preceding context, by virtue of what quantifier is used. In this way, we are trying to see if participants in our experiment are sensitive to violations of ...
