We propose a model that explains how the working-memory capacity of a comprehender
can constrain syntactic parsing and thereby affect the processing of syntactic ambiguities …

Three eye-movement-monitoring experiments investigated processing of sentences
containing subject-relative and object-relative clauses. The first experiment showed that …

In 1992, DC Mitchell et al (see record 1992-18602-001) presented new evidence to suggest
that contextual information does not influence the parser's initial decisions. It was suggested …

Subjects read sentences containing either a syntactically ambiguous prepositional phrase
attachment or a syntactically ambiguous reduced relative clause. The sentences were …

Recent research has shown that language comprehenders make predictions about
upcoming linguistic information. These studies demonstrate that the processor not only …

Eye movements were recorded as subjects read sentences containing temporary structural
ambiguities. In accord with the garden-path theory of sentence comprehension, shorter …

Using the single-word self-paced reading task, three experiments investigated parsing of
temporarily ambiguous sentences containing complement verbs. The verbs differed in the …

This paper examines the rapid psychological processes that integrate information across the
sentences of a paragraph. Successive sentences and propositions of a paragraph build on …

This paper investigates the prediction of syntactic structure during sentence processing,
using constructions that temporarily allow a sluicing interpretation in English. Making use of …

Four experiments investigated the relationship between syntactic and semantic processing.
The first two experiments, which used a word-by-word reading paradigm with a makes …
