Lyn Frazier is a Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Her research focuses on adult language comprehension, syntax-prosody interfaces, and syntax-semantics interactions, particularly in ellipsis processing and discourse coherence. Collaborating closely with Professor Charles Clifton, her work bridges psycholinguistics and theoretical linguistics, examining how structural and pragmatic factors influence sentence interpretation. Her research interests include: (1) Ellipsis processing mechanisms, especially cross-sentence phenomena like sluicing and fragment answers; (2) Syntax-discourse interface dynamics, including QUD-driven integration and implicature resolution; (3) Prosodic influences on parsing, such as boundary effects and focus realization; (4) Pragmatic constraints shaping syntactic recovery processes, including non-actuality implicatures and variable quantifier scoping. Recent work explores negation anticipation mechanisms, scalar implicature computation, and the role of parallelism in corrective exchanges. Her 2017 Syntax paper proposes a novel account of negation-related processing phenomena. Earlier work established foundational theories like the recycling hypothesis for flawed ellipsis antecedents and the two-stage parsing model (the 'sausage machine'). Key contributions include over 50 peer-reviewed articles in journals like Cognition , Linguistic Inquiry , and Language , as well as co-editing Explicit and Implicit Prosody in Sentence Processing (2015).
