This paper proposes a new theory of the relationship between the sentence processing
mechanism and the available computational resources. This theory–the Syntactic Prediction …

The process of comprehending sentences involves the integration of a variety of different
information sources, constrained by the available computational resources. This paper …

The ability to process the linguistic input in real time is crucial for successfully acquiring a
language, and yet little is known about how language learners comprehend or produce …

Language production processes can provide insight into how language comprehension
works and language typology—why languages tend to have certain characteristics more …

This chapter presents an extended formulation of the Competition Model. The extended
model is designed to account for a large range of phenomena in first and second language …

A strong claim about human sentence comprehension is that the processing mechanism is
fully innate and applies differently to different languages only to the extent that their …

All other things being equal the parser favors attaching an ambiguous modifier to the most
recent possible site. A plausible explanation is that locality preferences such as this arise in …

This paper reports the results of five experiments designed to investigate the effects of
referential processing on sentence complexity. Gibson (Cognition, 68 (1998) 1) suggested …

Three experiments examined the processing of subject–verb agreement in sentence
comprehension. Experiment 1 used a word-by-word self-paced moving window reading …

I should clarify at the outset what I mean by the term parser. I take this to refer specifically to
tht: structure building system that it used in sentence recognition, and not to the many other …
