From incoherence to mirth: neuro-cognitive processing of garden-path jokes
In so-called garden-path jokes, an initial semantic representation is violated, and semantic revision reestablishes a coherent representation. 48 jokes were manipulated in three conditions: (i) a coherent ending, (ii) a joke ending, and (iii) a discourse-incoherent ending. A reading times study (N = 24) and three studies with recordings of ERP and pupil changes (N = 21, 24, and 24, respectively...

متن کاملA Computational Theory of Processing Overload and Garden-Path Effects
The limited capacity of working memory is intrinsic to human sentence processing, and therefore must be addressed by any theory of human sentence processing. I assume that the amount of short term memory that is necessary at any stage in the parsing process is determined by the syntactic, semantic and pragmatic properties of the structure(s) that have been built up to that point in the parse. A...
متن کاملThe Effects of Discourse Cues on Garden Path Processing
We report a self-paced reading study that investigated gardenpath sentences like While the boy washed {a/the} dog barked loudly and While the man hunted {a/the} deer ran into the woods. In such sentences, the critical noun phrase (dog, deer) tends to be misparsed as an object of the preceding verb, and has to be re-analyzed as a subject of the following clause when the disambiguating verb (e.g....
متن کاملPredicting Garden Path Sentences
This work is an investigation into part of the human sentence parsing mechanism (HSPM). The major test of the psychological val idi ty of any model of the HSPM is that it fail on precisely those sentences that humans find to be garden paths. It is hypothesized that the HSPM consists of at least two processes. We call the first process the syntactic processor, and the second wil l be known as th...
