{"pk":31661,"title":"A Restriced Interactive Model of Parsing","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Much of the controversy surrounding the autonomy of syntax issue has focused on whether prepositional phrase (PP) attachments can be influenced by prira- discourse context. W e briefly review four studies that have produced results supporting either the autonomy view or the interactive view, and then describe the results of a recent series of experiments that identify the conditions under which a read^ will be garden pathed when encountering a structurally ambiguous PP. The results of these experiments suggest that a reader can avoid being led down the garden path by a discourse that successfully creates referential ambiguity, but only in sentences where the verb does not require the P P in order to be grammatical. W e also describe a restricted interactive parser that can account for these empirical results. The parser divides its task between two processors that use limited forms of semantic and discourse information when making attachments.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Submitted Presentations","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0hk8g6tw","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"M.","middle_name":"Anne","last_name":"Britt","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Pittsburgh","department":""},{"first_name":"Gareth","middle_name":"","last_name":"Gabrys","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Pittsburgh","department":""},{"first_name":"Charles","middle_name":"A.","last_name":"Perfetti","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Pittsburgh","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1993-01-01T10:00:00-08:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/31661/galley/22729/download/"}]}
