Comparative iIlusions at the syntax-semantics interface

2015
Psycholinguistic research has focused much attention on the factors that influence structural ambiguity resolution, under the assumption that meaning is derived from a selected syntactic representation in a systematic, compositional way. Problematically, however, researchers have increasingly observed examples suggesting that perceptions of sentence ...
