Agreement Processes in Sentence Comprehension
Three experiments examined the processing of subject–verb agreement in sentence comprehension. Experiment 1 used a word-by-word self-paced moving window reading methodology, and participants read sentences such as The key to the {cabinet/cabinets} {was/were} rusty from many years of disuse. When the head noun (key), local noun (cabinet), and verb were all singular, reading times after the verb ...
متن کاملConceptual combination during sentence comprehension: evidence for compositional processes.
This experiment examined the time course of integration of modifier-noun (conceptual) combinations during auditory sentence comprehension using cross-modal lexical priming. The study revealed that during ongoing comprehension, there is initial activation of features of the noun prior to activation of (emergent) features of the entire conceptual combination. These results support compositionalit...
متن کاملThe role of structure in coreference assignment during sentence comprehension.
This paper examines the role of syntactic constraints on the reactivation and assignment of antecedents to explicit and implicit anaphoric elements during sentence comprehension. Evidence from on-line studies examining the time course of coreference processing supports the view that reactivation of potential antecedents is restricted by grammatical constraints when they are available. When stru...
متن کاملEffects of Prior Context upon Lexical Access during Sentence Comprehension
When we understand what a person has said we do not understand just isolated words or even isolated sentences. Rather, the interpretation given a particular word or sentence is determined, in part, by the context in which it occurs. But, although there appears to be general agreement that context affects what interpretation is obtained, there is little agreement on how or when this effect is pr...
متن کاملLexical Access during Sentence Comprehension (Re)Consideration of Context Effects
The effects of prior semantic context upon lexical access during sentence comprehension were examined in two experiments. In both studies, subjects comprehended auditorily presented sentences containing lexical ambiguities and simultaneously performed a lexical decision task upon visually presented letter strings. Lexical decisions for visual words related to each of the meanings of the ambigui...
