Lexical ambiguity in sentence comprehension.
An event-related fMRI paradigm was used to investigate brain activity during the reading of sentences containing either a lexically ambiguous word or an unambiguous control word. Higher levels of activation occurred during the reading of sentences containing a lexical ambiguity. Furthermore, the activated cortical network differed, depending on: (1) whether the sentence contained a balanced (i....
متن کاملThe Neurocognition of Referential Ambiguity in Language Comprehension
Referential ambiguity arises whenever readers or listeners are unable to select a unique referent for a linguistic expression out of multiple candidates. In the current article, we review a series of neurocognitive experiments from our laboratory that examine the neural correlates of referential ambiguity, and that employ the brain signature of referential ambiguity to derive functional propert...
متن کاملSentence Production in Naturalistic Scenes with Referential Ambiguity
Language production often happens in a visual context, for example when a speaker describes a picture. This raises the question whether visual factors interact with conceptual factors during linguistic encoding. To address this question, we present an eye-tracking experiment that manipulates visual clutter (density of objects in the scene) and animacy in a sentence production task using natural...
متن کاملA Multiple-Channel Model of Task-Dependent Ambiguity Resolution in Sentence Comprehension
Traxler, Pickering, and Clifton (1998) found that ambiguous sentences are read faster than their unambiguous counterparts. This so-called ambiguity advantage has presented a major challenge to classical theories of human sentence comprehension (parsing) because its most prominent explanation, in the form of the unrestricted race model (URM), assumes that parsing is non-deterministic. Recently, ...
متن کاملResolution of Referential Ambiguity Using Dempster-Shafer Theoretic Pragmatics
A major challenge for robots interacting with humans in realistic environments is handling robots’ uncertainty with respect to the identities and properties of the people, places, and things found in their environments: a problem compounded when humans refer to these entities using underspecified language. In this paper, we present a framework for generating clarification requests in the face o...
