The Role of Thematic Roles in Sentence Processing: Evidence from Structural Priming in Young Children
The syntactic realization of a verb’s arguments is constrained by the role that the argument plays in the meaning of the verb. In most linguistic frameworks, these constraints are captured by mappings between syntactic functions and thematic roles. Such mappings clearly shape our interpretation of novel verbs. But there is controversy about when these mappings develop and whether they are emplo...
متن کاملHow Function Assignment and Word Order are Determined: Evidence from Structural Priming Effects in Japanese Sentence Production
Using a structural priming paradigm, the details of sentence production model have been investigated substantially, specifically the processes in grammatical encoding level. Many studies provide evidence that the function assignment stage and the constituent assembly stage are processed separately in grammatical encoding. However, it is less known whether these two stages interact with each oth...
متن کاملExtraction of Thematic Roles from Dictionary Definitions
Our research goal has been the development of a domain independent natural language processing (NLP) system suitable for information retrieval. As part of that research, we have investigated ways to automatically extend the semantics of a lexicon derived from machine-readable lexical sources. This paper details the extraction of thematic roles derived from lexical patterns in a machine-readable...
متن کاملStructural priming from complex sentences
Speakers tend to reuse recently encountered linguistic forms such as alternants of the dative alternation. This study explores whether speakers’ tendency to reuse forms of this alternation is affected by the syntactic context in which the form occurs. Speakers were exposed to forms of the alternation occurring in either matrix position of complex sentences or in an embedded position, i.e., a co...
متن کاملComparing Semantic and Syntactic Expectation between Verbs and Thematic Roles: Evidence from Eyetracking
Introduction It has been shown with priming paradigms at the single word level (e.g., Edmonds & Mizrahi, 2011; Ferretti, McRae, & Hatherell, 2001) and eyetracking methods at the sentence level (e.g., Altmann & Kamide, 1999; Kamide, Scheepers, & Altmann, 2003) that a verb generates semantic expectations about an upcoming noun (McRae, Ferretti, & Amyote, 1997). In addition to semantic relationshi...
