{ "pk": 31321, "title": "Consulting Temporal Context During Sentence Comprehension: Evidence from the Monitoring of Eye Movements in Reading", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "An important aspect of language processing is the comprehender's ability to determine temporal relations between an event denoted by a verb and events already established in the discourse. This often requires the tense of a verb to be evaluated in relation to specific temporal discourse properties. W e investigate the time course of this process by examining how the temporal properties of a discourse influence the initial processing of temporarily ambiguous reduced relative clauses. M u c h of tfie empirical work on the reading of reduced relative clauses has revealed that readers experience a large mis-analysis effect (or *gardenpatfi') in reduced relatives like \"The student spotted bv the proctor received a warning\" because the reader has initially interpreted the verb \"spotted\" as a past tense verb in a main clause. Recent results from an eye movement study are provided which irnlicate that this mis-analysis of relative clauses can be eliminated when the temporal constraints of a discourse do not easily permit a main clause past tense interpretation. Such a flnding strongly suggests that readers process tense in relation to the temporal properties of the discourse, and that constraints from these properties can n^ndly influence processing at a stnKtural level.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [], "section": "Talks", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5692t5pz", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "John", "middle_name": "C.", "last_name": "Trueswell", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Rochester", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Michael", "middle_name": "K.", "last_name": "Tanenhaus", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Rochester", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "1992-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/31321/galley/22390/download/" } ] }
