Incremental interpretation in second language sentence processing
The degree to which native and non-native readers interpret English sentences incrementally was investigated by examining plausibility effects on reanalysis processes. Experiment 1 required participants to read sentences word by word and to make on-line plausibility judgements. The results showed that natives and non-natives immediately computed the plausibility of the preferred structural anal...
متن کاملLSA learner sentence comprehension in agglutinative and non-agglutinative languages
This work has been carried out in the context of automatic evaluation of learner summaries where text comprehension is gained using Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques. We had intuitively observed that lemmatized versions of LSA matrixes resembled better human Basque similarity judgement than the non lemmatized ones. This research was conducted to tes...
متن کاملParallel processing and sentence comprehension difficulty
Eye fixation durations during normal reading correlate with processing difficulty but the specific cognitive mechanisms reflected in these measures are not well understood. This study finds support in German readers’ eyefixations for two distinct difficulty metrics: surprisal, which reflects the change in probabilities across syntactic analyses as new words are integrated, and retrieval, which ...
متن کاملQuantifying Processing Difficulty in Human Language Processing
One goal common to human sentence processing theories is to develop a crosslinguistically applicable account of human parsing processes. There is much empirical evidence consistent with such theories, based on experiments involving diverse languages such as English, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, and German, among others. However, processing facts for many other languages are yet to be determined, an...
متن کاملDo Heavy-NP Shift Phenomenon and Constituent Ordering in English Cause Sentence Processing Difficulty for EFL Learners?
Heavy-NP shift occurs when speakers prefer placing lengthy or “heavy” noun phrase direct objects in the clause-final position within a sentence rather than in the post-verbal position. Two experiments were conducted in this study, and their results suggested that having a long noun phrase affected the ordering of constituents (the noun phrase and prepositional phrase) by advanced Iranian EFL le...
