متن کاملSentence Comprehension in Aphasia
We show in this chapter that selective aphasic deficits dissociate distinct language processing systems. To this end, we focus on disruptions of lexical access that appear to implicate initial stages of sentence comprehension. The analyses we present turn on comparisons between agrammatic (Broca's) aphasic patients and paragrammatic (Wernicke's) aphasic patients. By the former we mean roughly, ...
متن کاملCompetition, event comprehension, and dynamic location information in sentence processing
Two experiments in the visual world paradigm investigated competition in sentence processing from dynamic eventrelated information about location. In Experiment 1, listeners viewed visual arrays with container objects like a bowl, jar, pan, and jug, while they heard sentences like “The boy will pour the sweetcorn from the bowl into the jar, and he will pour the gravy from the pan into the jug. ...

This paper examines the role of syntactic constraints on the reactivation and assignment of antecedents to explicit and implicit anaphoric elements during sentence comprehension. Evidence from on-line studies examining the time course of coreference processing supports the view that reactivation of potential antecedents is restricted by grammatical constraints when they are available. When stru...

Experiment 1 used a word-by-word self-paced moving window reading methodology, and participants read sentences such as The key to the {cabinet/cabinets} {was/were} rusty from many years of disuse. When the head noun (key), local noun (cabinet), and verb were all singular, reading times after the verb ...
