Syntactically ambiguous sentences are sometimes read faster than disambiguated strings.
Models of parsing have explained this tendency by appealing either to a race in the …

Three eye-tracking experiments investigated ambiguity resolution in sentences containing
adjunct modifiers. The experiments tested readers' response to sentences that began with a …

An event-related brain potentials experiment was carried out to examine the interplay of
referential and structural factors during sentence processing in discourse. Subjects read …

It must certainly be accounted a paradox that probabilistic modeling is simultaneously one of
the oldest and one of the newest areas in psycholinguistics. Much research in linguistics and …

Strong evidence suggests that prior syntactic context affects language production (eg, JK
Bock, 1986). The authors report 4 experiments that used an expression-picture matching …

Several current models of human parsing maintain that initial structural decisions are
influenced (or tuned) by the listener's or reader's prior contact with language. The precise …

Sentences with temporarily ambiguous reduced relative clauses (eg, The actress selected
by the director believed that...) were preceded by discourse contexts biasing a main clause …

We present the design, implementation and simulation results of a psycholinguistic model of
human syntactic processing that meets major empirical criteria. The parser operates in …

Thematic roles are typically viewed as slot and filler m echanisms in which the slots are
devoid of content, or the content is limited to a few syntactically relevant features. This …

The book provides a comprehensive state-of-the-art overview of current research on
cognitive and applied aspects of eye movements. The contents include peer-reviewed …
