Assessing Distinct Cognitive Workload Levels Associated with Unambiguous and Ambiguous Pronoun Resolutions in Human–Machine Interactions

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2022
Pronoun resolution plays an important role in language comprehension. However, little is known about its recruited cognitive mechanisms. Our investigation aims to explore the cognitive mechanisms underlying various types of pronoun resolution in Chinese ...

Pronominal anaphora resolution in Polish: Investigating online sentence interpretation using eye-tracking.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
The mechanism of anaphora resolution is subject to large cross-linguistic differences. The most likely reason for this is the different sensitivity of pronouns to the range of factors that determine their reference.

A Bayesian Approach to German Personal and Demonstrative Pronouns

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2022
When faced with an ambiguous pronoun, an addressee must interpret it by identifying a suitable referent. It has been proposed that the interpretation of pronouns can be captured using Bayes’ Rule: P(referent|pronoun) ∝ P(pronoun|referent)P(referent ...

Corpus, experimental and modeling investigations of cross-linguistic differences in pronoun resolution preferences

open access: yesGlossa, 2021
We investigate the impact of syntactic alternatives on pronoun resolution in ambiguous constructions in English and French. Previous research detected language-specific preferences in pronoun resolution in utterances of the type “The postman met the ...

The processing of subject pronouns in highly proficient L2 speakers of English

open access: yesGlossa, 2020
Studies on second language (L2) anaphora resolution have mainly focused on learners of null-subject languages, demonstrating that L2 speakers show residual indeterminacy in the L2 referential choice, even at the highest levels of proficiency.

A Study of Zero Anaphora Resolution in Chinese Discourse: From the Perspective of Psycholinguistics

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2021

A Computational Model of Human Preferences for Pronoun Resolution

open access: yes, 2017
International audienceWe present a cognitive computational model of pronoun resolution that reproduces the human interpretation preferences of the Subject Assignment Strategy and the Parallel Function Strategy. Our model relies on a probabilistic pronoun

Information Structure Affects the Resolution of the Subject Pronouns Er and Der in Spoken German Discourse

open access: yesDiscours, 2013
Two visual-world eye-tracking experiments were designed to investigate the resolution of ambiguous German pronouns, the personal pronoun (er) and the d-pronoun (der) in spoken discourse.

Optimizing algorithms for pronoun resolution [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 20th international conference on Computational Linguistics - COLING '04, 2004
The paper aims at a deeper understanding of several well-known algorithms and proposes ways to optimize them. It describes and discusses factors and strategies of factor interaction used in the algorithms. The factors used in the algorithms and the algorithms themselves are evaluated on a German corpus annotated with syntactic and coreference ...
