Speaker: Robert J. HartsuikerTitle: Syntactic blocking: When syntactic representations are not shared across languagesTime: 15:00 – 16:30, Wed, 5 May, 2021 (Beijing, Hong Kong time)Venue: https://cuhk.zoom.us/j/779556638 https://cuhk.zoom.cn/j/779556638
Robert J. Hartsuiker is professor of Cognitive Psychology at the Department of Experimental Psychology, Ghent University. He is the President-Elect of the European Society for Cognitive Psychology. He was the editor in chief of the Journal of Cognitive Psychology and an associate editor of Psychological Science. His research focuses on language production and comprehension, control and monitoring of speech, and multilingualism. He has published more than 100 journal papers on these topics in a wide array of journals, including Psychological Bulletin, Psychological Science, Cognition, and Cognitive Psychology. His work is cited more than 9000 times on Google Scholar; his H-index is 48. Syntactic blocking: When syntactic representations are not shared across languagesDepartment of Experimental Psychology, Ghent UniversityCross-linguistic structural priming suggests that proficient bilinguals share syntactic representations across their languages (e.g., Hartsuiker, Pickering, & Veltkamp, 2004). Such priming can occur even when the syntactic structures are not fully identical in the two languages. The shared representations must therefore abstract across such differences. What then determines whether representations are or are not shared across languages? In this talk, I will propose the syntactic blocking hypothesis, according to which a structure S in one language and a counterpart S’ in another language can only have a shared representation if neither language distinguishes between S and S’. Thus, priming can occur between a passive with SVO structure in one language and one with SOV structure in another language, but not if either language allows both word orders. In that case, the need to distinguish between different word orders blocks the formation of an abstract representation for the passive that is independent of word order. I will discuss structural priming studies using picture description, translation, and artificial language learning tasks that are consistent with the syntactic blocking hypothesis. I will conclude with suggestions to further test this hypothesis.Virtual Psycholinguistics Forum: (https://cuhklpl.github.io/forum.html)

Title: Temporal dynamics and cognitive mechanisms of language productionTime: 15:00 – 16:30, Wed, 19 May 2021 (Beijing, Hong Kong time)Venue: https://cuhk.zoom.us/j/779556638 https://cuhk.zoom.cn/j/779556638
屈青青，中国科学院心理研究所青年特聘研究员，博士生导师，中国科学院大学授课教师。研究兴趣为语言产生与语言理解的认知与神经机制。主持多项科研项目（国家自然科学基金国际合作项目、面上项目、青年项目；中国科协青年人才托举项目；中科院青促会）。研究成果发表在PNAS, Psychological Science, Cognition, Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, Brain and Language, JEP:LMC, Psychonomic Bulletin & Review等期刊。Temporal dynamics and cognitive mechanisms of language productionInstitute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (China)Language production involves complex processes that unfold over time. A critical question in understanding how the brain produces language concerns when these cognitive processes are computed and how they are connected with each other. In this talk, I will present our relevant work which is focused on investigating the time course of cognitive processes underlying language production and examining cognitive mechanisms of how these processes work. Our research has utilised various methodological approaches, including ERPs, eye-tracking, behavioural measurements and computational modelling.

Holger Hopp is Professor of English Linguistics at the Technische Universität Braunschweig (Germany). In his research, he investigates child and adult L2/3 acquisition and processing as well as heritage language acquisition and attrition. He uses several psycholinguistic methods to determine the directionality, scope and degree of cross-linguistic influence in bi- and multilingual speakers of different ages. He is an Executive Editor of Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism and has published widely on various topics related to multilingualism.
How permeable are native and non-native syntactic processing to crosslinguistic influence?English and American Studies, University of Braunschweig (Germany)Recent approaches to bilingual language processing argue that a bilingual's languages are fundamentally permeable, with cross-linguistic influence (CLI) affecting both the L2 and the L1 (e.g. Birdsong, 2018; Kroll et al., 2015). In this talk, I explore the boundary conditions of crosslanguage permeability in syntactic processing among late bilinguals, testing CLI both from the first language (L1) to the second language (L2) and from the L2 to the L1. I will discuss findings from three experiments with four groups of German-English and English-German bilinguals, showing that order of acquisition, but not usage and immersion in the second language, constrains CLI in the processing of structurally ambiguous wh-questions in German. Whereas CLI from the L1 persistently affected L2 sentence processing even among near-native and immersed L2 users, L1 processing was resilient against influence from the L2, even after long-term L2 immersion. The study highlights how systematic and bidirectional investigations of CLI contribute towards more nuanced models of the bilingual mind.Virtual Psycholinguistics Forum: (https://cuhklpl.github.io/forum.html)1.公益讲座
