Interpretation-based processing: a unified theory of semantic sentence comprehension
We present interpretation-based processing—a theory of sentence processing that builds a syntactic and a semantic representation for a sentence and assigns an interpretation to the sentence as soon as possible. That interpretation can further participate in comprehension and in lexical processing and is vital for relating the sentence to the prior discourse. Our theory offers a unified account ...

متن کاملDependency Propagation: A Unified Theory of Sentence Comprehension and Generation
The possibility is pursued that a single mental program underlies both sentence comprehension and generation. The Horn-logic formalism is exploited here to modelize the mental representation of the linguistic knowledge, as a bundle of constraints rather than as a patchwork of procedures. A notion of dependency in a Horn program is defined so that eliminating dependency amounts to solving the pr...
متن کاملSemantic focus and sentence comprehension.
Reaction time to detect a phoneme target in a sentence was found to be faster when the word in which the target occurred formed part of the semantic focus of the sentence. Focus was determined by asking a question before the sentence; that part of the sentence which comprised the answer to the sentence was assumed to be focussed. This procedure made it possible to vary position offocus within t...
متن کاملAn Architecturally-based Theory of Human Sentence Comprehension
This thesis presents NL-Soar, a detailed computational model of human sentence comprehension that accounts for a broad range of psycholinguistic phenomena. NL-Soar provides in-depth accounts of structural ambiguity resolution, garden path effects, unproblematic ambiguities, parsing breakdown on difficult embeddings, acceptable embeddings, immediacy of interpretation, and the time course of comp...
