In this sympo- sium, we aim to bring together researchers studying sentence processing that are interested in the constraints imposed by memory (Culicover, Lewis, McElree) and researchers study- ing memory that work on incorporating language sensitive representations into their models (Dennis, Howard). The prima facie evidence for the potential value of a closer relationship is substantial. For instance, Fedorenko, Gibson, and Rohde (2006) found that when a working memory load is imposed during sentence comprehension, object extracted relative clauses, which are typically more difficult to process, are affected more than subject extracted relative clauses. This effect is magnified if the nouns present in the working mem- ory set are similar to those in the sentence. In addition, when a licensor for a negative polarity item appears in an inacces- sible position (such as ”no” in ”A man who had no beard was ever thrifty”) it nonetheless impacts both the reading time and the probability of judging the string grammatical (Vasishth, Brussow, Lewis, & Drenhaus, 2008) suggesting that sentence processing is subject to the kinds of similarity phenomena that are observed ubiquitously in working memory studies. Models of short term memory have progressed substan- tially since the observations of Miller and Chomsky (1963) observations. Buffer models have been replaced by direct ac- cess models and the cue dependent nature of memory is now more broadly appreciated. The importance of this change in perspective was underlined by McElree, Foraker, and Dyer (2003). Using a response signal procedure, they found that while increasing the length of a dependency impacts accuracy it does not affect the rate of formation accrual the signature pattern of a direct access memory process. The broad implication is that the detailed nature of sen- tence processing emerges from the interaction of general prin- ciples of human memory with the specialized task of lan- guage comprehension. Conversely, many memory experi- ments involve sequences of word stimuli and the role of lan- guage is well known. For instance, Howard, Addis, Jing, and Kahana (2007) showed that semantic relatedness affects the conditional response probability of producing items in free recall. Furthermore, models of free recall performance such as the temporal context model (Howard & Kahana, 2002) can be used to construct lexical representations directly from lan- guage corpora. The purpose of the symposium is to bring together leading researchers from both domains to discuss how memory and language models can be brought into closer alignment. Peter Culicover: Linguists working on the syntax of nat- ural languages conventionally categorize instances of unac- ceptability as ’ungrammaticality’ (except for clear cases of semantic anomaly). However, there has been a recent trend (even among some linguists, e.g. Kluender, Sag, myself) in favor of taking a somewhat narrower view of what constitutes ’ungrammaticality’, and to attribute some types of unaccept- abilty to the processing complexity associated with particular syntactic constructions. Typically, such complexity is char- acterized in terms of ’memory limitations’ (as in the work of scholars such as Gibson and Lewis), the most familiar cases involving nested dependency in relative clauses.
