Functional anatomy of syntactic and semantic processing in language comprehension.
A functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study was conducted to map syntactic and semantic processes onto the brain. Chinese-English bilingual subjects performed two experimental tasks: a syntactic plausibility judgment task in which they decided whether a viewed verb phrase was syntactically legal, and a semantic plausibility judgment task in which they decided whether a viewed phrase wa...
متن کاملDissociation between syntactic and semantic processing during idiom comprehension.
Syntactic and semantic processing of literal and idiomatic phrases were investigated with a priming procedure. In 3 experiments, participants named targets that were syntactically appropriate or inappropriate completions for semantically unrelated sentence contexts. Sentences ended with incomplete idioms (kick the...) and were biased for either a literal (ball) or an idiomatic (bucket) completi...
متن کاملSyntactic Adaptation in Language Comprehension
In this paper we investigate the manner in which the human language comprehension system adapts to shifts in probability distributions over syntactic structures, given experimentally controlled experience with those structures. We replicate a classic reading experiment, and present a model of the behavioral data that implements a form of Bayesian belief update over the course of the experiment.

15 صفحه اولTTT: A Tree Transduction Language for Syntactic and Semantic Processing
In this paper we present the tree to tree transduction language, TTT. We motivate the overall ”template-to-template” approach to the design of the language, and outline its constructs, also providing some examples. We then show that TTT allows transparent formalization of rules for parse tree refinement and correction, logical form refinement and predicate disambiguation, inference, and verbali...
