An event-related fMRI paradigm was used to investigate brain activity during the reading of sentences containing either a lexically ambiguous word or an unambiguous control word. Higher levels of activation occurred during the reading of sentences containing a lexical ambiguity. Furthermore, the activated cortical network differed, depending on: (1) whether the sentence contained a balanced (i....
متن کاملLexical Ambiguity in Sentence Proc- essing: Evidence from Chinese∗
Lexical ambiguity has been the focus for the study of context effects in word recognition in the past twenty-five years (Small, Cottrell, and Tanenhaus 1988, Onifer and Swinney 1981, Simpson and Krueger 1991, Swinney 1979, Tabossi 1988).

متن کاملLexical Access during Sentence Comprehension (Re)Consideration of Context Effects
The effects of prior semantic context upon lexical access during sentence comprehension were examined in two experiments. In both studies, subjects comprehended auditorily presented sentences containing lexical ambiguities and simultaneously performed a lexical decision task upon visually presented letter strings. Lexical decisions for visual words related to each of the meanings of the ambigui...

English-German bilinguals, German-English bilinguals and English monoling...
