Different theories of syntactic ambiguity resolution argue for different sources of information
determining initial parsing decisions (eg, structurally defined parsing principles, lexically …

This article examined whether semantic indeterminacy plays a role in comprehension of
complex structures such as object relative clauses. Study 1 used a gated sentence …

Subjects read sentences containing either a syntactically ambiguous prepositional phrase
attachment or a syntactically ambiguous reduced relative clause. The sentences were …

Three experiments were conducted to assess the impact of the thematic fit and discourse
context on the processing of sentences that were initially syntactically ambiguous between …

The role of lexical frequency in syntactic ambiguity resolution was explored in two self-paced
reading studies of ambiguous reduced relative clauses. Recent constraint-based models of …

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 …

Two self-paced reading experiments are presented to assess how temporary ambiguities in
prepositional phrase attachment are resolved in English verb–noun-phrase–prepositional …

This research addresses the question of whether the initial interpretation of structurally
ambiguous sentences (such as He dropped the book on the chair) is made purely on the …

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 …

Two eye-tracking experiments investigated processing of VP-NP attachment ambiguities.
Experiment 1 tested sentences in which there was an initial bias toward VP attachment …
