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 کاملA Connectionist Model of Lexical and Contextual In uences on Ambiguity Resolution in Human Sentence Processing
The lexicalist model of human sentence processing (MacDonald et al. 1994) provides an account for the interaction of lexical frequency eeects with contextual information in the resolution of syntactic ambiguities. In this paper, we present an implementation of a connectionist network which evaluates the predictions of the lexicalist model for NP/S garden paths. Our network is trained using a co...
متن کاملAmbiguity Resolution in Sentence Processing: The Role of Lexical and Contextual Information
This study investigates how the parser employs thematic and contextual information in resolving temporary ambiguities during sentence processing. We report results from a sentence-completion task and from a self-paced reading experiment with native speakers of Greek examining two constructions under different referential context conditions: relative clauses (RCs) preceded by complex noun phrase...
متن کاملChronometric Studies of Lexical Ambiguity Resolution
Languages such as English contain a large number of words with multiple meanings. These words are commonly termed "lexlcal ambiguities", although it is probably more accurate to speak of them as potentially ambiguous. Determining how the contextually appropriate reading of a word is identified presents an important and unavoidable problem for persons developing theories of natural language proc...
متن کاملLexical 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...
