The time-course with which readers use event-specific world knowledge (thematic fit) to
resolve structural ambiguity was explored through experiments and implementation of …

The process of comprehending sentences involves the integration of a variety of different
information sources, constrained by the available computational resources. This paper …

This thesis presents NL-Soar, a detailed computational model of human sentence
comprehension that accounts for a broad range of psycholinguistic phenomena. NL-Soar …

2.1 BACKGROUND Within the community of researchers interested in understanding how
humans process sentences, it has long been evident that there are important insights to be …

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 …

This article examines how certain types of semantic and discourse context affect the
processing of relative clauses which are temporarily ambiguous between a relative clause …

A head-mounted eye-tracking methodology was used to investigate how linguistic and
nonlinguistic information sources are combined to constrain referential interpretation. In two …

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) …

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on two types of ambiguity: lexical and syntactic
ambiguity. The two kinds of ambiguity can interact—for example, adopting noun vs. verb …

The most predominant language processing theories have, for some time, been based
largely on structured knowledge and relatively simple rules. These symbolic models …
