Very interesting stuff -- psycholinguistics is a fascinating field.
I'd be interested to see whether they've looked at the effects of literacy and illiteracy on the results. Yucatec was mentioned -- does anyone know whether Yucatec society is literate or not? (I'm not trying to pick holes, just understand the nature of the research done. I'm pretty confident they'll have thought about the potential of literacy to change the outcome, so even if they've not looked at it yet, I'm sure it'll be on the to-do list.) 1 person has voted this message useful | |
