The Influence of Syntactic Category and Semantic Constraints on Lexical Ambiguity Resolution: An Eye Movement Study of Processing Chinese Homographs*
The purpose of the present study is twofold: (1) To examine whether the syntactic category constraint can determine the semantic resolution of Chinese syntactic category ambiguous words; and (2) to investigate whether the syntactic category of alternative meanings of Chinese homographs can influence the subordinate bias effect (SBE) during lexical ambiguity resolution. In the present study, fou...
متن کاملProcessing words and Short Message Service shortcuts in sentential contexts: An eye movement study
The present study investigated whether Short Message Service shortcuts are more difficult to process in sentence context than the spelled-out word equivalent and, if so, how any additional processing difficulty arises. Twenty-four student participants read 37 Short Message Service shortcuts and word equivalents embedded in semantically plausible and implausible contexts (e.g., He left/drank u/y...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Constraints on Syntactic Generation: Lexical Bias and Discourse Congruency Effects on Eye Movements
We measured eye movements as people read short stories. The target sentences contained noun/verb homographs (e.g. “duck”) and were preceded by a biasing context sentence. The homograph in the target sentence was always disambiguated by a case-marked pronoun: e.g., “She saw his/him duck.” Lexical bias effects (reflecting the relative frequency of the noun and verb forms) were found in the initia...
متن کاملLSDSem 2017 2nd Workshop on Linking Models of Lexical, Sentential and Discourse-level Semantics
We present a semi-supervised clustering approach to induce script structure from crowdsourced descriptions of event sequences by grouping event descriptions into paraphrase sets (representing event types) and inducing their temporal order. Our model exploits semantic and positional similarity and allows for flexible event order, thus overcoming the rigidity of previous approaches. We incorporat...
متن کاملSentential context and on-line lexical decision.
J. L. Nicol and D. Swinney (1989) reported that lexical decision response times to a test word that was related to the implicit object of a verb were faster, when tested immediately after the verb, than response times to a control test word. They concluded from this result that the relation between the implicit object and the verb was understood during comprehension. In G. McKoon, R. Ratcliff, ...
