6. What is the difference between indirect and direct speech acts?
Direct speech acts (approx 10% of lang) intend the literal meaning. Indirect speech acts (approx 90% lang) move beyond the literal meaning
Direct speech acts (approx 90% lang) move beyond the literal meaning, Indirect speech acts (approx 10% of lang) intend the literal meaning.

8. In a visual-world eye tracking study by Altmann&Kamide, (1999), when did anticipatory fixations due to verb-selectional restraints occur?
Well after the onset of the verb, suggesting that language understanding involves prediction
Well after the onset of the noun, suggesting that language understanding involves prediction
Well before the onset of the noun, suggesting that language understanding involves prediction
Well before the onset of the verb, suggesting that language understanding involves prediction
9. What methodology can be used to measure fictive motion?
Dichotic listening
Eye tracking
Click displacement
Picture naming
10. What is extracted first in Searles two stage model of understanding indirect speech?
Literal

Neither
Both
11. What did the study by Tanenhaus et al (1995) suggest?
Because semantic context influences the liklihood of being garden-pathed, evidence AGAINST the autonomy/modularity of the parser.
Because semantic context influences the liklihood of being garden-pathed, evidence FOR the autonomy/modularity of the parser.
Because visual context influences the liklihood of being garden-pathed, evidence AGAINST the autonomy/modularity of the parser.

13. What did Richardson & Matlock find in a study of fictive motion?
Fictive motion affected looking time to the relevent path, fictive motion had an effect on sentence processing. The literal meaning was activated regardless
Fictive motion decreased looking time to the relevent path, fictive motion had an effect on sentence processing
There was no effect of fictive motion in either condition
14. What was the main finding of a study by ferreria et al (2005) in avoiding ambiguity?
Pps aimed to establish common ground in both conditions, but ESPECIALLY for non-linguistic ambiguity
Pps could only reduce linguitic ambiguity and otherwise operated egocentrically
Pps aimed to establish common ground in both conditions, but ESPECIALLY for linguistic ambiguity
Pps operated egocentrically and did not aim to establish common ground in either condition
