#426 โ€“ Edward Gibson: Human Language, Psycholinguistics, Syntax, Grammar & LLMs

When you do center embedding, when you do nesting, you always have long-distance connections between the dependents. You just... So that's not necessarily the right explanation. I can go through reasons why that's probably a good explanation. And it's not really just about one of them.

So probably it's a pair of them or something of these dependents that you get along that drives you to be really confused in that case. And so what the behavioral consequence there, I mean, we... This is kind of methods, like how do we get at this? You could try to do experiments to get people to produce these things. They're going to have a hard time producing them.

You can try to do experiments to get them to understand them and see how well they understand them, can they understand them. Another method you can do is give people partial materials and ask them to complete them, those center-embedded materials, and they'll fail. Yeah. So I've done that. I've done all these kinds of things.

No, no. Nesting is the same thing. Central embedding. Those are totally equivalent terms. I'm sorry. I sometimes use one and sometimes use the other. Got it. Got it.

Yeah, yeah, you could. I mean, there's multiple ways to do that. I mean, there's the simplest ways. Just ask people, how good does it sound? How natural is the sound? That's a very blunt, but very good measure. If it's very reliable, people will do the same thing.

And so it's like, I don't know what it means exactly, but it's doing something such that we're measuring something about the confusion, the difficulty associated with those.
