Neural correlates of semantic and syntactic processes in the comprehension of case marked pronouns: Evidence from German and Dutch

open access: yesBMC Neuroscience, 2006
Background It is well known that both semantic and syntactic information play a role in pronoun resolution in sentences. However, it is unclear what the relative contribution of these sources of information is for the establishment of a coreferential ...

Strong semantic biases make demonstrative pronouns act like personal pronouns

open access: yesGlossa, 2023
Anaphoric demonstrative pronouns (d-pronouns), which are found in some languages in addition to the more common personal pronouns (p-pronouns), provide an interesting test case for theories of pronoun resolution.

Between anaphora and deixis...the resolution of the demonstrative noun-phrase ‘that N’ [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Three experiments examined the hypothesis that the demonstrative noun phrase (NP) that N, as an anadeictic expression, preferentially refers to the less salient referent in a discourse representation when used anaphorically, whereas the anaphoric pronoun

Design and enhanced evaluation of a robust anaphor resolution algorithm [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Syntactic coindexing restrictions are by now known to be of central importance to practical anaphor resolution approaches. Since, in particular due to structural ambiguity, the assumption of the availability of a unique syntactic reading proves to be ...

The interpretation of German personal pronouns and d-pronouns

open access: yesZeitschrift für Sprachwissenschaft, 2019
Three experiments investigated the interpretation and production of pronouns in German. The first two experiments probed the preferred interpretation of a pronoun in contexts containing two potential antecedents by having participants complete a sentence

Gender Marking and Clitic Pronoun Resolution in Simultaneous Bilingual Children

open access: yesLanguages, 2022
The acquisition of clitics still remains a highly controversial issue in Greek acquisition literature despite the bulk of studies performed. Object clitics have been shown to be early acquired by monolingual children in terms of production rates, whereas

A Tableau Calculus for Pronoun Resolution

open access: yes, 1999
We present a tableau calculus for reasoning in fragments of natural language. We focus on the problem of pronoun resolution and the way in which it complicates automated theorem proving for natural language processing. A method for explicitly manipulating contextual information during deduction is proposed, where pronouns are resolved against this ...

EEG-Based Decoding of Neural Mechanisms Underlying Impersonal Pronoun Resolution

open access: yesAlgorithms
Pronoun resolution is essential for language comprehension, yet the neural mechanisms underlying this process remain poorly characterized. Here, we investigate the neural dynamics of impersonal pronoun processing using electroencephalography combined ...

Differences in the processing of anaphoric reference between closely related languages: neurophysiological evidence

open access: yesBMC Neuroscience, 2008
Background The present study examines the involvement of syntactic and semantic/conceptual processes in the comprehension of pronouns in Dutch using the technique of event-related brain potentials (ERPs) replicating and extending an earlier study in ...
