Resolution of lexical ambiguity by emotional tone of voice.
In the present study, the effects of emotional tone of voice on the perception of word meaning were investigated. In two experiments, listeners were presented with emotional homophones that had one affective meaning (happy or sad) and one neutral meaning. In both experiments, the listeners were asked to transcribe the emotional homophones presented in three different affective tones--happy, neu...
متن کاملChronometric Studies of Lexical Ambiguity Resolution
Languages such as English contain a large number of words with multiple meanings. These words are commonly termed "lexlcal ambiguities", although it is probably more accurate to speak of them as potentially ambiguous. Determining how the contextually appropriate reading of a word is identified presents an important and unavoidable problem for persons developing theories of natural language proc...
متن کاملLexical Nature of Syntactic Ambiguity Resolution
Ambiguity resolution is a central problem in language comprehension. Lexical and syntactic ambiguities are standardly assumed to involve different types of knowledge representations and be resolved by different mechanisms . An alternative account is provided in which both types of ambiguity derive from aspects of lexical representation and are resolved by the same processing mechanisms . Reinte...
متن کاملThe Role of Lexical Frequency in Syntactic Ambiguity Resolution
The role of lexical frequency in syntactic ambiguity resolution was explored in two selfpaced reading studies of ambiguous reduced relative clauses. Recent constraint-based models of syntactic ambiguity resolution have proposed that for a reduced relative clause (e.g., ‘‘The room searched by the police was . . .’’), both the participle and past tense forms of the ambiguous verb (‘‘searched’’) a...
متن کاملLarge Neural Networks for the Resolution of Lexical Ambiguity
Many words have two or more very distinct meanings. For example, the word pen can refer to a writing implement or to an enclosure. Many natural language applications, including information retrieval, content analysis and automatic abstracting, and machine translation, require the resolution of lexical ambiguity for words in an input text, or are significantly improved when this can be accomplis...
