Studies of syntactic ambiguity resolution have played a central role in resolving questions
about when and how contextual information affects parsing processes. These investigations …

Two experiments are reported examining the relationship between lexical and syntactic
processing during language comprehension, combining techniques common to the on-line …

Probably the longest-running debate in psycholinguistics concerns the question of whether
there are contextual influences on the process of syntactic parsing. The precise nature of this …

The present study compares the processing of unambiguous restrictive and non-restrictive
relative clauses (RCs) within both a null context and a supportive discourse using a self …

Recent ERP studies report that implausible verb-argument combinations can elicit a centro-
parietal P600 effect (eg,“The hearty meal was devouring…”; Kim & Osterhout, 2005). Such …

We discuss theories of sentence parsing, paying particular attention to claims about how
context may affect the resolution of syntactic ambiguities. We defend the garden-path theory …

This study investigates how the parser employs thematic and contextual information in
resolving temporary ambiguities during sentence processing. We report results from a …

In recent work on sentence processing, lexical frequencies have been proposed as a
primary mechanism for syntactic and lexical disambiguation. In this paper, we instead focus …

This paper explores how thematic role information associated with verbs is used in
language processing. We suggest that thematic roles are useful for co-ordinating different …

In this paper, we report the results of a study which investigates the processing of
syntactically ambiguous sentences. We examined the processing of sentences in which an …
