- An ACT-R Model of Sentence Sorting with Argument Structure Constructions, Fowles-Winkler & Michaelis (2005). Outcome recorded: successful.
Based on the results of a sorting task involving verbs and grammatical patterns, Bencini & Goldberg (2000) argue that "argument structure constructions are directly associated with sentence meaning." We explore this hypothesis by attempting to replicate their results using a nonhuman categorizer: a cognitive model based on ACT-R (Anderson & Lebiere 1998). The model replicated the sentence-sorting behaviors of Bencini & Goldberg's subjects, but did so using formal cues alone.
