Bilingual Sentence Processing

2012
Bilinguals live, by definition, in two linguistic worlds. Given the different demands of each language, one might think that each system functions independently. However, several studies have found that bilinguals’ two languages are interdependent to a great extent.

Sentence Processing

2013
What are the psychological processes involved in comprehending sentences? How do we process the structure of sentences and how do we understand their meaning? Do children, bilinguals and people with language impairments process sentences in the same way as healthy monolingual adults?

Sentence comprehension processes

Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1983
The processes involved in comprehending sentences were examined in three experiments. In the first two experiments, results supported the models of G. M. Kleiman (Memory and Cognition, 1980 , 8, 336–344) and D. E. Rumelhart (in R. J. Spiro, B. C. Bruce, & W. F.

Processing Dutch sentence structures

Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 1993
This paper summarizes existing research on syntactic processing of Dutch sentences by adult native speakers of the language, with an eye to the implications of this work for a general theory of the human sentence processing mechanism (HSPM). The principles underlying the assignment of phrase structure and the binding of traces seem to be the same as ...

Ambiguity in sentence processing

Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 1998
As listeners and readers, we rarely notice the ambiguities that pervade our everyday language. When we hear the proverb `Time flies like an arrow' we might ponder its meaning, but not the fact that there are almost 100 grammatically permissible interpretations of this short sentence.

Wide-Coverage Probabilistic Sentence Processing

Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2000
This paper describes a fully implemented, broad-coverage model of human syntactic processing. The model uses probabilistic parsing techniques, which combine phrase structure, lexical category, and limited subcategory probabilities with an incremental, left-to-right "pruning" mechanism based on cascaded Markov models.

Sentence processing is uniquely human

Neuroscience Research, 2003
In this article, we will focus on three fundamental issues concerning language processing in the human brain, and update recent advances made by functional neuroimaging and magnetic stimulation studies of language. First, we will provide the first experimental evidence that the neural basis of sentence comprehension is indeed specialized. Specifically,

Sentence Processing in Frontotemporal Dementia

Cortex, 2005
Patients with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) have sentence comprehension difficulty. We examined the hypothesis that both grammatical and resource factors contribute to their impaired sentence comprehension with a traditional, off-line sentence comprehension task, and an on-line sentence processing procedure that minimizes task-related resources.

Phonological typicality and sentence processing

Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2007
In studies of language, it is widely accepted that the form of a word is independent of its meaning and syntactic category. Thus, the relationship between phonological form and grammatical class would not be expected to affect reading time. However, Farmer et al.

Meaning specificity in sentence processing

British Journal of Psychology, 1979
Two experiments were conducted to test the principle of encoding specificity in sentence recognition when the target sentence was embedded in a meaningful discourse. The results indicate that change in meaning context resulted in significantly less recognition of the target sentences while change in sentence form and the target‐test interval had no ...
