“…These are importantly different and truth-value judgment tasks can help tease them apart. Tasks used in semantic fieldwork draw on those used in language acquisition research (see, e.g., Crain andThornton 1998, Eisele andLust 1996). The use of these types of tasks in semantic fieldwork is discussed in detail in Matthewson 2004. …”

Empirical findings from fieldwork inform our theories of natural language semantics: what is cross-linguistically possible, what current theories can and cannot account for, what type of representations we need, and so on. Formally precise analyses can also inform our fieldwork, making predictions that need to be tested in the field and providing novel questions to ask. This interrelationship of fieldwork and theory can be mutually beneficial, symbiotic, producing novel avenues for both fieldwork and analysis. This paper discusses an example of such interplay from the author's fieldwork on the semantics of the reflexive/reciprocal construction in Cheyenne (Plains Algonquian). New data led to a novel analysis in terms of underspecification, which in turn led to novel discoveries about the possible interpretations of the Cheyenne reflexive/reciprocal marker (Murray 2007(Murray , 2008.

“…The conclusion that children base their judgments on linear precedence was challenged by Crain and McKee (1986) (see also Eisele and Lust (1996), Lust and Clifford (1986), Lust et al (1980), McDaniel, Cairns, andHsu (1990)). In particular, using the truth-value judgment, Crain and McKee (1986) proved that children from about 3 years of age reject an anaphoric reading of (28) 88% of the time, whereas they accept this reading in 73% of the cases in (27).…”
