language in real time. This work has revealed a complex and interactive language …

While much work has been done investigating the role of context in the incremental
processing of syntactic indeterminacies, relatively little is known about online semantic …

The listener can be thought of as a device for conversion of acoustic input into meaning. The
purpose of this chapter is to provide an outline, necessarily superficial but we hope not …
