This thesis presents a model of incremental natural language understanding based on the grammatical formalism known as Combinatory Categorial Grammar. The model constitutes an integrated system involving a cyclical process of parsing, semantic adjudication and filtering. The motivating data for the model are the well-known observations about garden path effects in human sentence processing, and...
