For more than a decade, views of sentence comprehension have been shifting toward wider
acceptance of a role for linguistic pre‐processing–that is, anticipation, expectancy,(neural) …

The good-enough language processing approach emphasizes people's tendency to
generate superficial and even inaccurate interpretations of sentences. At the same time, a …

Prediction is often regarded as an integral aspect of incremental language comprehension,
but little is known about the cognitive architectures and mechanisms that support it. We …

We consider several key aspects of prediction in language comprehension: its
computational nature, the representational level (s) at which we predict, whether we use …

Predictive processing is a critical component of language comprehension, but exactly how
and why comprehenders generate lexical predictions remains to be determined. Here, we …

Syntactic parsing processes establish dependencies between words in a sentence. These
dependencies affect how comprehenders assign meaning to sentence constituents …

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

Although some types of inferences are mandatory for readers, predictive inferences
(inferences for what will happen next) are generally considered elaborative or optional …

Current theories of language processing emphasize prediction as a mechanism to facilitate
comprehension, which contrasts with the state of the field a few decades ago, when …

People comprehend utterances rapidly and without conscious effort. Traditional theories
assume that sentence processing is algorithmic and that meaning is derived …
