Sequential vs. Hierarchical Syntactic Models of Human Incremental Sentence Processing
Experimental evidence demonstrates that syntactic structure influences human online sentence processing behavior. Despite this evidence, open questions remain: which type of syntactic structure best explains observed behavior–hierarchical or sequential, and lexicalized or unlexicalized? Recently, Frank and Bod (2011) find that unlexicalized sequential models predict reading times better than un...
متن کاملProcessing of hierarchical syntactic structure in music.
Hierarchical structure with nested nonlocal dependencies is a key feature of human language and can be identified theoretically in most pieces of tonal music. However, previous studies have argued against the perception of such structures in music. Here, we show processing of nonlocal dependencies in music. We presented chorales by J. S. Bach and modified versions in which the hierarchical stru...
متن کاملHierarchical and sequential processing of language
Ding et al. (2017) contrast their view that language processing is based on hierarchical syntactic structures, to a view that relies on word-level input statistics. In this response to their paper, we clarify how, exactly, the two views differ (and how they do not), and make a case for the importance of sequential, as opposed to hierarchical, structure for language processing.
متن کاملModeling Syntactic and Semantic Structures in Hierarchical Phrase-based Translation
Incorporating semantic structure into a linguistics-free translation model is challenging, since semantic structures are closely tied to syntax. In this paper, we propose a two-level approach to exploiting predicate-argument structure reordering in a hierarchical phrase-based translation model. First, we introduce linguistically motivated constraints into a hierarchical model, guiding translati...
متن کاملVentral Premotor Cortex Lesions disrupt learning of sequential syntactic structures
Recent fMRI evidence shows differential involvement of the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and the ventral premotor cortex (PMv) in syntactic processing. Our main goal is to specify the precise role of the PMv in the processing sequential structures and whether these processes are a necessary prerequisite for the successful acquisition of linguistic syntax. We tested patients with PMv lesions in a...
