Right now I'm working on two experiments that test whether people store sequences of longer than one word in long-term memory. My undergrad thesis work suggests they do! Now I'm looking into how people use these multi-word representations during processing -- are they favored over single-word representations in highly frequent expressions, how do people form these representations in the first place, etc? I think my PhD dissertation work will focus a lot on mechanism rather than representation, but that might change. No problem. And seriously, congrats on making it this far -- I read a bit through your history and you've come a long way with your health problems and everything.
Thank you! Also, share the dissertation when done, seriously do it. The science world is amazing. Apperently there is such a thing a "sexy son hypothesis"
