{"pk":31709,"title":"Incremental Syntax Processing and Parsing Strategies","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Psycholinguistic models of language processing usually\npostulate that parsing the syntactic structure of a sen-\ntence proceeds incrementally in s o m e way, which means\nthat the syntactic analysis is not delayed until the end of\nthe clause or sentence. In this paper w e will discuss dif-\nferent conceptions of incrementality in the light of em-\npirical studies on the influence of grammatical case on\nstructure building in German subject-object asymme-\ntries. It will be shown that neither word-by-word attach-\nment of partial structures into the phrase marker of the\nsentence (Frazier, 1987a), nor head comer parsing (Ab-\nney, 1987; Kay, 1989) can explain the data found in our\nexperiments. A s a strategy which is consistent with our\ndata, left-comer parsing (Johnson-Laird, 1983) will be\ndiscussed.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Submitted Presentations","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/36b1x017","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Barbara","middle_name":"","last_name":"Hemforth","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Freiburg","department":""},{"first_name":"Lars","middle_name":"","last_name":"Konieczny","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Freiburg","department":""},{"first_name":"Gerhard","middle_name":"","last_name":"Strube","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Freiburg","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1993-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/31709/galley/22777/download/"}]}
