Asad Sayeed is a postdoctoral researcher at the Multimodal Computing and Interaction Cluster of Excellence at Saarland Universit in Saarbrücken, Germany.
Recent experimental results in the literature are ambivalent on the extent to which formal structure affects the power of world knowledge to influence these judgments. In response to this, I describe my recent judgment study using German scrambling that suggests a significant effect of formal representation on the plural interpretation of an object argument given a universally-quantified subject.
Both of these research efforts reveal underlying questions about the influence of world knowledge on linguistic representations and suggest ways to answer them.
