SGER: Experimental Investigation of Judged Sentence Acceptability

小行星9322688 摘要 这个SGER项目将收集与“that”痕迹现象有关的判断句子可接受性的数据。研究对象为两组大学生和一组老年人。该项目的目的是证明，“that”-trace现象可以在三个目标人群中的每一个人群中准确地描述，并且这些人群之间存在统计上可靠的差异。如果该项目成功，将通过定期向NSF提交项目提案来跟进。 ***

9322688 COWART ABSTRACT This SGER project will gather data on judged sentence acceptability relating to the "that"-trace phenomenon. 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. ***
