SGER: Experimental Investigation of Judged Sentence Acceptability

摘要SGER项目将收集与“that”追溯现象相关的判句可接受性数据。三组人口将被抽样：两组大学本科生和一组老年线人。这个项目的目的是要证明，在三个目标人群中，“那个”痕迹现象可以被精确地描述出来，而且这些人群之间存在着统计上可靠的差异。如果项目成功，后续将定期向NSF提交项目建议书。＊＊＊

Thee populations will be sampled: two groups of university undergraduates and one group of elderly informants. The purpose of this project is to demonstrate that the "that"-trace phenomenon can be precisely characterized in each of the three target populations, and that there are statistically reliable differences among those populations. If the project is successful, it will be followed up by a regular project proposal to NSF. ***
