摘要 在这篇评论中，我们通过将语言判断与各种其他经验数据类型进行比较来讨论语言判断的局限性。特别是，我们表明判断本质上是多维度的，因为它们包含了一系列语言和语言外的影响，不能仅通过考虑最终判断本身来区分这些影响。因此，梯度型和时间不敏感型的判断会产生与内省所面临的相同的解释问题。因此，虽然我们同意费瑟斯顿的观点，即理论语言学中数据可复制性的改进是非常可取的，但我们不同意他的观点，即梯度判断可以比其他类型的经验数据提供更多的语法相关信息。
Abstract In this commentary, we discuss the limitations of linguistic judgements by comparing them to a variety of other empirical data types. In particular, we show that judgements are inherently multimensional in that they incorporate a range of linguistic and extra-linguistic influences, which cannot be teased apart by only considering the final judgement itself. Judgements of the gradient and time-insensitive type therefore give rise to the same interpretation problems as those faced by introspection. Thus, while we agree with Featherston that an improvement of data replicability in theoretical linguistics is highly desirable, we disagree with his claim that gradient judgements can provide significantly more grammatically-relevant information than other types of empirical data.
