The Online Interpretation of Sentence Internal Same and Distributivity
I. The phenomena. Many languages have lexical means to compare two elements and express identity / difference / similarity between them.

The formal account is independently motivated by quantificationa...

Simultaneous interpretation is a very challenging application of machine translation in which the input is a stream of words from a speech recognition engine. The key problem is how to segment the stream in an online manner into units suitable for translation. The segmentation process proceeds by calculating a confidence score for each word that indicates the soundness of placing a sentence bou...
متن کاملDistal prosody influences lexical interpretation in online sentence processing
Previous work examining prosodic cues in online spoken word recognition has focused primarily on local cues to word identity. However, recent studies have suggested that sentence-level prosodic patterns can also influence the downstream interpretation of lexically ambiguous syllables (Dilley & McAuley, 2008; Dilley, Mattys, & Vinke, 2010).
