چکیده

This paper addresses the question whether locally coherent word sequences in spoken sentences interfere with the global interpretation. We present a visual world experiment where three depicted events were presented simultaneously while a sentence was spoken. The results suggest that local syntactic coherences are not only processed at a syntactic level, but they are interpreted on-line.

Anaphora and Local Coherences

We present two visual world studies indicating that local syntactic coherences interact with binding constraints (Chomsky, 1981) of both reflexives and pronouns. Gazes to depicted referents or events suggest that when sentences containing a local coherence with a pronoun or reflexive are presented, locally coherent antecedents become activated. Our results strengthen the assumption that local s...

Correcting the Incorrect: Local Coherence Effects Modeled with Prior Belief Update

0. Introduction In the past four decades, the field of sentence processing research has generated a number of models of the incremental operation of the human sentence processor. One assumption common to most of these theories is that the difficulty of a word is determined by the possible syntactic structures of the preceding words, and thus, the difficulty of a word should be unaffected by ung...
