Linguistic intuitions are the result of interactions between perceptual processes and linguistic universals. Gerken, L. & Bever, T. Cognit Sci, 10(4):457–476, 1986. abstract bibtex Examined the relationship between variation in informant's grammaticality intuitions about pronoun coreference and variation in their use of a clause segmentation strategy during sentence perception. 24 undergraduates were examined on judgment of pronoun-noun coreference in which the noun antecedent was contained in a complement structure dominated by either the sentence-node (higher than the pronoun) or the verb-phrase-node (not higher than the pronoun). Ss' perceptual clause-closure tendency was assessed using an auditory word-monitor paradigm. Results indicate that the linguistic universal controlling within-sentence coreference applied to the perceptually available structure for a sequence, not to its pure linguistic structure. Hence, linguistic intuitions result from the interaction of language-specific knowledge, perceptual processes, and linguistic universals.
