Connectionist sentence processing in perspective
The emphasis in the connectionist sentence-processing literature on distributed representation and emergence of grammar from such systems seems to have prevented connectionists and symbolists alike from recognizing the often close relations between their respective systems. This paper argues that simply recurrent network (SRN) models proposed by Jordan (1990) and Elman (1990) are more directly ...
متن کاملConnectionist psycholinguistics in perspective
Connectionist approaches to language have been, and still are, highly controversial. Some have argued that natural language processing from phonology to semantics can be understood in connectionist terms; others have argued that no aspects of natural language can be captured by connectionist methods. And the controversy is particularly heated because of the revisionist claims of some connection...
متن کاملA neurocognitive perspective on retrieval interference in L2 sentence processing
Cunnings (Cunnings) offers an interpretation of L2-L1 sentence processing differences in terms of memory principles. We applaud such cross-domain approaches, which seem likely to significantly elucidate the neurocognition of language. Cunnings attributes sentence processing differences between (adult) high proficiency L2 and L1 speakers to an increased susceptibility to similarity-based retriev...
متن کاملA Connectionist Model of Lexical and Contextual In uences on Ambiguity Resolution in Human Sentence Processing
The lexicalist model of human sentence processing (MacDonald et al. 1994) provides an account for the interaction of lexical frequency eeects with contextual information in the resolution of syntactic ambiguities. In this paper, we present an implementation of a connectionist network which evaluates the predictions of the lexicalist model for NP/S garden paths. Our network is trained using a co...
متن کاملSurprisal-based comparison between a symbolic and a connectionist model of sentence processing
The ‘unlexicalized surprisal’ of a word in sentence context is defined as the negative logarithm of the probability of the word’s part-of-speech given the sequence of previous partsof-speech of the sentence. Unlexicalized surprisal is known to correlate with word reading time. Here, it is shown that this correlation grows stronger when surprisal values are estimated by a more accurate language ...
