Discourse accessibility constraints in children’s processing of object relative clauses
Children's poor performance on object relative clauses has been explained in terms of intervention locality. This approach predicts that object relatives with a full DP head and an embedded pronominal subject are easier than object relatives in which both the head noun and the embedded subject are full DPs. This prediction is shared by other accounts formulated to explain processing mechanisms....
متن کاملSyntactic Form and Discourse Accessibility
One of the central issues in studies of reference is the relationship between morpho-syntactic form and the accessibility of discourse referents. However, most of the work in this area has been concerned primarily with reference to entities; considerably less work has addressed the relationship between syntactic form and the discourse accessibility of events. In this paper, we consider forms of...
متن کاملDiscourse Structure and Anaphoric Accessibility
We evaluated the predictions of Grosz and Sidner’s theory of anaphoric accessibility using a corpus of tutorial dialogues whose discourse structure was annotated according to Relational Discourse (RDA) Analysis. We found support for Moser and Moore’s proposal that only segments with an intentional core should be viewed as introducing new focus spaces; we also found that both embedded cores and ...
متن کاملObject Drop and Discourse Accessibility∗
Object drop constructions are attested in several languages despite the absence of overt verb-object agreement (Cole 1987; Huang 1995). It has been claimed that languages vary crosslinguistically in the conditions licensing object drop: European and Brazilian Portuguese (Farrell 1990; Raposo 1986) and Quiteño Spanish (Suñer and Yépez 1988) license null objects only for definite NPs (cf. (1), (2...
متن کاملThe Neural Bases of Text and Discourse Processing
Understanding discourse requires the comprehension of individual words and sentences, as well as integration across sentence representations to form a coherent understanding of the discourse as a whole. The processes that achieve this coherence involve a dynamic interplay between mental rep resentations built on the current sentence, the prior discourse context, and the comprehender ’ s backgro...
