Abstract


Resumo: A tarefa de julgamento de aceitabilidade de sentenças temporalizadas é uma das técnicas de eliciação de julgamentos na qual  se impõem restrições temporais aos juízes. Propõe-se que essa técnica proporciona observações mais fidedignas de conhecimento implícito  e processos automatizados. Este estudo explora a definição de tetos  temporais mínimos para a execução dessa tarefa por falantes nativos das  línguas dos estímulos, assim como avalia o impacto do recrutamento de  amostras de conveniência, formadas por participantes com treinamento  em estudos de linguagem, sobre esse tipo de experimento. Os resultados  indicam não haver impacto crítico dessa forma de amostragem de  conveniência, e que efeitos de gramaticalidade são detectáveis com  janelas temporais de 4 segundos para cada sentença.

Palavras-chave: Aceitabilidade; Gramaticalidade; Julgamentos temporalizados; Amostragem de conveniência.

Abstract: The speeded sentence acceptability judgment task is a  technique for the elicitation of judgments in which temporal constraints  are imposed on judges. It is suggested that such technique provides more  reliable observations of implicit knowledge and automatic processes. This  study explored the setting of minimal temporal ceilings for performance  in the speeded acceptability judgment task by native speakers of the  stimuli languages, and it also assessed the impact of convenience  sampling where participants with language studies backgrounds are  recruited. The results show that there is no critical impact of this kind of  convenience sampling, and they also show that grammaticality effects  are detectable within a time window of 4 seconds per sentence.
