In Löhr and Michel (2022), we proposed a neurocognitive model within the predictive processing paradigm for acceptability intuitions about copredication sentences. We also addressed "predicate order effects," the phenomenon that the acceptability of copredication sentences can vary with the order in which the predicates occur. We discussed Murphy's interpretation of order preferences based on a hierarchy of semantic complexity and tried to motivate that other interpretations are worthwhile pursuing. In a reply letter, Murphy (2022) takes issue with our approach, putting forward several purported methodological and conceptual issues with our paper. In this reply, we first clarify where exactly we agree and disagree. Second, we focus on a crucial equivocation and some misrepresentations of our proposal by Murphy.
在勒尔和米歇尔（2022年）的研究中，我们在预测处理范式内提出了一个关于并列谓语句子可接受性直觉的神经认知模型。我们还探讨了“谓语顺序效应”，即并列谓语句子的可接受性会随谓语出现的顺序而变化的现象。我们讨论了墨菲基于语义复杂性层次对顺序偏好的解释，并试图说明其他解释值得探索。在一封回复信中，墨菲（2022年）对我们的方法提出了质疑，指出了我们论文中几个所谓的方法和概念问题。在这篇回复中，我们首先阐明我们具体在哪些方面达成了共识，哪些方面存在分歧。其次，我们关注一个关键的模棱两可之处以及墨菲对我们提议的一些错误表述。
