While experimental data collection has been common in psycholinguistics for
some time, only relatively recently have experimental methods been employed
to collect data for research in formal linguistics. Experimental methods
can be particularly useful for investigating phenomena at the interfaces of
the components of grammar, where the sources of multiple types of
information need to be carefully controlled. Experiments at the Interfaces,
edited by Jeffrey T. Runner from the University of Rochester, brings
together recent experimental research examining a variety of issues within
syntax and semantics, and their interfaces with each other and with other
domains of language. The volume showcases a wide range of experimental
methods and illustrates how they can be applied to critical questions
relevant to formal linguistics.
