Sentence Processing within the Competition Model

open access: yesStudies in Applied Linguistics & TESOL, 2003
The Competition Model was developed to account for sentence processing as well as language acquisition (MacWhinney & Bates, 1989). Based on lexical functionalism, the model assumes that language processing is an interactive process of form-function ...

Human Sentence Processing: Recurrence or Attention? [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Workshop on Cognitive Modeling and Computational Linguistics, 2021
Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) have long been an architecture of interest for computational models of human sentence processing. The recently introduced Transformer architecture outperforms RNNs on many natural language processing tasks but little is known about its ability to model human language processing.

Effect of word association on linguistic event-related potentials in moderately to mildly constraining sentences

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
The processing of word associations in sentence context depends on several factors. EEG studies have shown that when the expectation of the upcoming word is high (high semantic constraint), the within-sentence word association plays a negligible role ...

Comprehension of double-center embedded relatives in Italian: a case for hierarchical intervention

open access: yesIsogloss, 2023
Object relatives are more difficult to process than subject relatives. Several sentence processing models have been proposed to explain this difference.

Processing empty categories in a second language: When naturalistic exposure fills the (intermediate) gap [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
An ongoing debate on second language (L2) processing revolves around whether or not L2 learners process syntactic information similarly to monolinguals (L1), and what factors lead to a native-like processing. According to the Shallow Structure Hypothesis

Working memory and L2 sentence processing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Working memory based limitations have increasingly been proposed as a way of explaining differences between native (L1) and non-native (L2) sentence processing. However, while there has been increasing interest in the role that working memory may play in

Event-related brain potential evidence for animacy processing asymmetries during sentence comprehension

open access: yes, 2013
The animacy distinction is deeply rooted in the language faculty. A key example is differential object marking, the phenomenon where animate sentential objects receive specific marking.

Rapid processing of the meaning of sentences [PDF]

open access: yesMemory & Cognition, 1980
It has been shown (Fischler & Bloom, 1979) that sentence contexts facilitate a lexical decision task for words that are highly likely sentence completions and inhibit the decision for words that are semantically anomalous sentence completions. In the present experiment, the sentence contexts were presented 1 word at a time, at rates from 4 to 28 words ...
