Aspectual coercion in eye movements.
Comprehension includes interpreting sentences in terms of aspectual categories such as processes (Harry climbed) and culminations (Harry reached the top). Adding a verbal modifier such as for many years to a culmination coerces its interpretation from one to many culminations. Previous studies have found that coercion increases lexical decision and meaning judgment time, but not eye fixation ti...
متن کاملAspectual Shift as Type Coercion Draft 1
The phenomenon of aspectual shift has been discussed by several people over the last ten years using an analogy with type coercion in programming languages. This paper tries to take the analogy literally and to spell out the details for an analysis of some common kinds of aspectual shift in English under the innuence of some types of temporal modiication. A model theoretic basis for this kind o...
متن کاملProcessing events: Aspectual coercion in self-paced reading and magnetoencephalography
Introduction. That semantic type-mismatch can have measurable effects on processing has been robustly demonstrated for complement coercion, where an event-selecting verb coerces an entity-denoting object into an event predicate (1) (e.g., McElree et al., 2001). A similar shift has been proposed for aspect when a punctual verb combines with a durative modifier, yielding an iterative interpretati...
متن کاملProcessing events: behavioral and neuromagnetic correlates of Aspectual Coercion.
Much recent psycho- and neuro-linguistic work has aimed to elucidate the mechanisms by which sentence meanings are composed by investigating the processing of semantic mismatch. One controversial case for theories of semantic composition is expressions such as the clown jumped for ten minutes, in which the aspectual properties of a punctual verb clash with those of a durative modifier. Such sen...
متن کاملAspectual Coercion in Non-native Speakers of English
This study examined the processing correlates of aspectual coercion among native and non-native speakers of English. For native English speakers, results suggested that the processing delay associated with aspectual coercion is minimal. Aspectual coercion was perhaps cognitively easy to perform. By contrast, non-native speakers of English from unlike first language (L1) backgrounds differed in ...
