Focus identification during sentence comprehension: evidence from eye movements.
Three eye movement experiments investigated focus identification during sentence comprehension. Participants read dative or double-object sentences (i.e., either the direct or indirect object occurred first), and a replacive continuation supplied a contrast that was congruous with either the direct or the indirect object. Experiments 1 and 2 manipulated focus by locating only adjacent to either...
متن کاملLinking Eye Movements to Sentence Comprehension in Reading and Listening
Eye tracking paradigms in both written and spoken modalities are the state of the art for online behavioral investigations of language comprehension. But it is almost a misnomer to refer to the two types of paradigms by the same ―eye-tracking‖ label, because they are quite different. Reading paradigms gauge local processing difficulty by measuring the participant’s gaze on the very material tha...
متن کاملStructural constraints on pronoun binding and coreference: evidence from eye movements during reading
A number of recent studies have investigated how syntactic and non-syntactic constraints combine to cue memory retrieval during anaphora resolution. In this paper we investigate how syntactic constraints and gender congruence interact to guide memory retrieval during the resolution of subject pronouns. Subject pronouns are always technically ambiguous, and the application of syntactic constrain...
متن کاملWhat eye movements can tell us about sentence comprehension.
Eye movement data have proven to be very useful for investigating human sentence processing. Eyetracking research has addressed a wide range of questions, such as recovery mechanisms following garden-pathing, the timing of processes driving comprehension, the role of anticipation and expectation in parsing, the role of semantic, pragmatic, and prosodic information, and so on. However, there are...
متن کاملTracking object location: Evidence from eye movements during event comprehension
If depicted objects visually remain where they are, but are linguistically described as moving to new locations (‘onto the table’), subsequent reference to them directs attention to their new locations. But, do these attentional shifts depend on updated spatial screen coordinates, or new object associations? We investigated situations wherein depicted containers moved between spatial locations ...
