Does number interference occur during sentence processing?
Models of interference in sentence processing claim that object relative clauses are harder to process than subject relatives due to interference between the subject and object noun phrase. The interference effect for object relatives at the verb should be more pronounced when the two noun phrases retrieved from memory are similar. To test this, two eye tracking experiments manipulated whether ...
متن کاملAgainst repair-based reanalysis in sentence comprehension.
Structural reanalysis is generally assumed to be representation-preserving, whereby the initial analysis is manipulated or repaired to arrive at a new structure. This paper contends that the theoretical and empirical basis for such approaches is weak. A conceptually simpler alternative is that the processor reprocesses (some portion of) the input using just those structure-building operations a...
متن کاملReanalysis in sentence processing: Evidence against current constraint-based and two-stage models
Two eye-tracking experiments investigated processing of VP/NP attachment ambiguities. Experiment 1 tested sentences in which there was an initial bias toward VP attachment. Readers experienced more difficulty when semantic information disambiguated the sentences to NP attachment than when it disambiguated them to VP attachment or when it was consistent with either analysis. Experiment 2 tested ...
متن کاملThe number of times a motion repeats influences sentence processing
We investigated how the semantic properties of verbs influence the way in which language users process sentences and how well they remember the verb. In particular, our study focused on the frequency of motion repetition, that is, how many times actions generally repeat in a row. The experimental sentences contained action verbs, such as sneezing, knocking on a door, clapping, and bouncing a ba...
متن کاملMisinterpretations of garden-path sentences: implications for models of sentence processing and reanalysis.
Theories of sentence comprehension have addressed both initial parsing processes and mechanisms responsible for reanalysis. Three experiments are summarized that were designed to investigate the reanalysis and interpretation of relatively difficult garden-path sentences (e.g., While Anna dressed the baby spit up on the bed). After reading such sentences, participants correctly believed that the...
