Why is that? Structural prediction and ambiguity resolution in a very large corpus of English sentences
Previous psycholinguistic research has shown that a variety of contextual factors can
influence the interpretation of syntactically ambiguous structures, but psycholinguistic …

The processing of extraposed structures in English
In most languages, most of the syntactic dependency relations found in any given sentence
are projective: the word–word dependencies in the sentence do not cross each other. Some …

Modeling the effects of memory on human online sentence processing with particle filters
R Levy, F Reali, T Griffiths - Advances in neural information …, 2008 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Abstract Language comprehension in humans is significantly constrained by memory, yet
rapid, highly incremental, and capable of utilizing a wide range of contextual information to …

On the continuity of mind: Toward a dynamical account of cognition
It should be obvious by now that this minute inflow of stimulus energy does not consist of
discrete inputs—that stimulation does not consist of stimuli. The flow is continuous. There …

Eye movements in language and cognition
The eye independently evolved over 40 times in nature (Fernald 1997), yet, strikingly all
animals with developed visual systems actively control their gaze using eye or head …

Scalar implicatures: working memory and a comparison with only
PP Marty, E Chemla - Frontiers in psychology, 2013 - frontiersin.org
A Scalar Implicature (SI) arises when the use of a relatively weak sentence (eg, some
politicians are corrupt) implies the denial of an alternative, stronger sentence (eg, not all …

Tracking the continuity of language comprehension: Computer mouse trajectories suggest parallel syntactic processing
Although several theories of online syntactic processing assume the parallel activation of
multiple syntactic representations, evidence supporting simultaneous activation has been …

A neurolinguistic model of grammatical construction processing
PF Dominey, M Hoen, T Inui - Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2006 - direct.mit.edu
One of the functions of everyday human language is to communicate meaning. Thus, when
one hears or reads the sentence,“John gave a book to Mary,” some aspect of an event …

Ambiguity in the brain: what brain imaging reveals about the processing of syntactically ambiguous sentences.
Two fMRI studies investigated the time course and amplitude of brain activity in language-
related areas during the processing of syntactically ambiguous sentences. In Experiment 1 …
