Lexical Nature of Syntactic Ambiguity Resolution
Ambiguity resolution is a central problem in language comprehension. Lexical and syntactic ambiguities are standardly assumed to involve different types of knowledge representations and be resolved by different mechanisms . An alternative account is provided in which both types of ambiguity derive from aspects of lexical representation and are resolved by the same processing mechanisms . Reinte...
متن کاملComputational Complexity of Syntactic Agreement and Lexical Ambiguity
What do language users know about particular utterances, and how do they compute this knowledge? Consider the English sentence Kate was seen by Mary. English speakers are able to determine, among other things, that Mary is the underlying subject of the sentence (that is, she is the person who did the seeing); that the thing that she saw was Kate; that the utterance is in the passive voice, and ...
متن کاملThe Role of Lexical Frequency in Syntactic Ambiguity Resolution
The role of lexical frequency in syntactic ambiguity resolution was explored in two selfpaced reading studies of ambiguous reduced relative clauses. Recent constraint-based models of syntactic ambiguity resolution have proposed that for a reduced relative clause (e.g., ‘‘The room searched by the police was . . .’’), both the participle and past tense forms of the ambiguous verb (‘‘searched’’) a...
متن کاملEffect of ambiguity and lexical availability on syntactic and lexical production.
Speakers only sometimes include the that in sentence complement structures like The coach knew (that) you missed practice. Six experiments tested the predictions concerning optional word mention of two general approaches to language production. One approach claims that language production processes choose syntactic structures that ease the task of creating sentences, so that words are spoken op...
متن کاملGesture and its impact of resolving lexical ambiguity
The study aimed to shed light on the use of gesture in resolving lexical ambiguity employed by TEFL students. To this end, 60 intermediate Iranian learners, studying at Kish Way Language School in Iran were recruited. The participants were randomly put into two experimental groups and one control group. Both of the experimental groups received the same teaching approach, i.e. teaching homonyms ...
