2016, CognitionCitation Excerpt :In this regard, it also differs from the proposal that structural (thematic) knowledge is directly encoded in the lexico-semantic network, which amounts to a blurring of the distinction between semantics and structure (McRae, Ferretti, & Amyote, 1997). Our account is compatible with findings that semantics can have immediate effects on the structural analysis of sentences (e.g., Taraban & McClelland, 1988), and can sometimes cause syntactically congruent sentences to be processed as syntactically anomalous (e.g., Kim & Osterhout, 2005). Note that according to a production-based account, predictions must be compatible with the unfolding semantic interpretation of the sentence and will (additionally) be compatible with its unfolding structural interpretation if the comprehender has enough time to compute structural relations.
Eye movements in reading and information processing: Keith Rayner's 40 year legacy
2016, Journal of Memory and LanguageCitation Excerpt :Much of the following decades of research on sentence comprehension was directed at testing this model and developing alternatives. One line of criticism was to suggest that the semantic and discourse manipulations in these previous studies were weak, and that more strongly biased materials did indeed eliminate the effects of syntactic difficulty (e.g., Altmann & Steedman, 1988; Taraban & McClelland, 1988; Trueswell, Tanenhaus, & Garnsey, 1994). Another was to argue that any effects of syntactic difficulty were attributable to the frequency of the less preferred structures rather than to any inherent structural bias (e.g., MacDonald et al., 1994).
