A PDP ARCHITECTURE FOR PROCESSING SENTENCES WITH RELATIVE CLAUSES y
A modular parallel distributed processing architecture for parsing, representing and paraphrasing sentences with multiple hierarchical relative clauses is presented. A lowel-level network reads the segments of the sentence word by word into partially speci ed case-role representations of the acts. A higher-level network combines these representations into a list of complete act representations....

متن کاملEffects of local and global context on processing sentences with subject and object relative clauses.
An eye tracking study investigated the effects of local and global discourse context on the processing of subject and object relative clauses, whereby the contexts favored either a subject relative clause interpretation or an object relative clause interpretation. The fixation data replicated previous studies showing that object relative clause sentences were more difficult to process than subj...
متن کاملSemantic, not positional distances between words affect processing difficulty for sentences with relative clauses
Linearly organized structures in language are supposed to be easy, while hierarchical information is difficult to process. Traditional accounts attribute the difficulty of processing hierarchical sentences (the dog the man walks, barks) to the long positional distances between dependencies (Gibson, 1998). Alternately, linear structures (the man walks the dog that barks) are easier to process. I...
متن کاملRelative Clauses
In this chapter, we examine the typology of relative clauses. We will define relative clauses as follows: (1) A relative clause (RC) is a subordinate clause which delimits the reference of an NP by specifying the role of the referent of that NP in the situation described by the RC. Since the NP whose reference is being delimited is in the matrix clause, we will call it NP mat , and we will call...
