Speech Rhythm Facilitates Syntactic Ambiguity Resolution: ERP Evidence
In the current event-related potential (ERP) study, we investigated how speech rhythm impacts speech segmentation and facilitates the resolution of syntactic ambiguities in auditory sentence processing. Participants listened to syntactically ambiguous German subject- and object-first sentences that were spoken with either regular or irregular speech rhythm. Rhythmicity was established by a cons...
متن کاملEvidence against competition during syntactic ambiguity resolution
We report three eye-movement experiments that investigated whether alternative syntactic analyses compete during syntactic ambiguity resolution. Previous research (Traxler, Pickering, & Clifton, 1998; Van Gompel, Pickering, & Traxler, 2001) has shown that globally ambiguous sentences are easier to process than disambiguated sentences, suggesting that competition does not explain processing diff...
متن کاملProsodic resolution of syntactic ambiguity
This paper deals with the use of prosodic information in disambiguating syntactic structure, i.e. in arriving at the correct interpretation of a syntactically ambiguous sentence. We will start out by examining closer the linguistic phenomenon of prosody, its acoustic and functional properties. It is pretty clear that prosody plays an important role in human speech understanding, however, the ex...
متن کاملParallelism and Competition in Syntactic Ambiguity Resolution
A central issue in sentence-processing research is whether the parser entertains multiple analyses of syntactically ambiguous input in parallel, and whether these analyses compete for selection. In this article, we review theoretical positions for and against such competitive parallelism. We then review empirical evidence, primarily drawing on reading time studies, bearing on the prediction mad...
متن کاملSyntactic Ambiguity Resolution in L2 Learners
This study investigates whether proficient second language (L2) speakers of Spanish and English use the same parsing strategies as monolinguals when reading temporarily ambiguous sentences containing a complex noun phrase followed by a relative clause, such as Peter fell in love with the daughter of the psychologist who studied in California. Research with monolingual Spanish and English speake...
