Experimental Methods in Language Exploration:

Experimental data are becoming increasingly important in the pool of empirical
facts that linguists look at. The use of experimental approaches has had a
long history in phonetics and phonology but it has been extended very
fruitfully to syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and language acquisition. It has
been argued that experiments provide non-biased data, more representative than
the professional linguist’s judgments (Katsos and Cummins 2010).

For instance, experimental syntax has been rapidly growing as a field of
research, given the view that it is fundamentally connected to theoretical
syntax and that the experimental tools resorted to will prove valuable in
answering new or crucial theoretical syntax questions, which ‘become more
tractable when the informal judgement collection methods are formalized using
experimental syntax techniques’ (Sprouse 2015). Thus, random sampling,
gradient judgments or factorial logic have now become standard tools of
analysis in the aim of doing away with spurious results and supplying reliable
data.

Experimental methods have also been successfully implemented in language
acquisition research to study the development of a wide range of linguistic
structures and categories such as relative clauses, tense, lexical aspect, or
scalar implicatures. Experiments can be designed to focus both on the
comprehension or production of these elements. A very effective investigative
method used to explore the comprehension of various linguistic structures is,
for instance, the truth value judgment task (Crain and Thornton 1998).

In response to these recent developments in linguistic research, the journal
seeks papers for a special issue on the use of experimental methods in
linguistics. It invites articles in any subfield of linguistics, on any topic,
employing experiment-based approaches and investigating data that can be
either purely experimental or extracted from text corpora. Varia articles can
also be submitted, as well as book reviews.
