| More information on some of our projects on syntactic reductions: * We have conducted corpus studies and experiments on the syntactic reduction of non-subject-extracted relative clauses: * for corpus studies of speech and writing, see Jaeger (2006 -- my thesis) and [http://www.bcs.rochester.edu/people/fjaeger/papers/WasowJaegerOrrDGfSpaper.pdf Wasow et al. (2009)]. * we have also been running [wiki:/ORCreductionExperiments recall, completion, and forced-choice preference experiments on ''that''-omission in object-extracted relative clauses] in collaboration with Roger Levy and Vic Ferreira at UCSD. * for the syntactic reduction of complement clauses, see [http://www.bcs.rochester.edu/people/fjaeger/papers/Jaeger09UIDcomplementizers.pdf Jaeger (submitted)]. * [wiki:/SRCreduction Reduction of subject-extracted relative clauses] (so called ''whiz''-deletion). Also, feel free to have a look at the [wiki:/Annotation annotation guidelines for the studies on subject-extracted passive relative clauses in the British National Corpus]. * Tom Wasow also has done some studies on ''that''-omission in subject-extracted relative clauses in non-standard English (not the same as ''whiz''-deletion), which are summarized in the presentation we gave at the International Relative Conference, Cambridge, September 2007. * Finally, I have some preliminary data on ''to''-omission after the verb ''help'' in English, which I presented in some invited talks. Let me know if you want more information. |

Redundancy and Syntactic Reduction
This is a series of corpus-based studies and production experiments on syntactic reduction and too what extent it is driven by redundancy/information density/predictability. Please follow the links below for more information -- some may be only accessible to HLP lab members or HLP lab guests.
