Referencing context in sentence processing: A failure to replicate the strong interactive mental models hypothesis
2022, Journal of Memory and LanguageCitation Excerpt :1b) A psychologist told the woman that he was having trouble with to leave. Referential theory, as proposed by Crain and Steedman (1985), Altmann and Steedman (1988), and Ni and Crain (1989), explains this apparent structural preference for resolutions like 1a compared with resolutions like 1b via the principle of parsimony, or that the easiest interpretation given the current discourse state should be chosen among competitors upon encountering ambiguity. For example, when readers encounter ‘the woman’ in a null context (i.e. no preceding discourse information), the subsequent ‘that’ is less likely to be interpreted as a relativizer because this would imply a competitor set of ‘woman’ referents.
