Why a diagram is (sometimes) worth ten thousand words
- Cognitive Science
, 1987
"... We distinguish diagrammatic from sentential paper-and-pencil representationsof information by developing alternative models of information-processing systems that are informationally equivalent and that can be characterized as sentential or diagrammatic. Sentential representations are sequential, li ..."

The role of structure in coreference assignment during sentence comprehension
- Journal of Psycholinguistic Research
, 1989
"... This paper examines the role of syntactic constraints on the reactivation and assignment of antecedents to explicit and implicit anaphoric elements during sentence comprehension. Evidence from on-line studies examining the time course of coreference processing supports the view that reactivation of ..."

of human sentence comprehension is that of detailing characteristics of the process that assigns coreferential relationships among sentential elements. This paper presents studies examining the temporal course of the assignment of antecedents to both explicit anaphoric elements (such as pronouns
An Analysis of Sentential Themes in Academic Writing: Implications for Teaching Sentence Style and Revision
"... This paper introduces a procedure for analyzing sentential themes and demonstrates how it may be useful to students when they consider the effectiveness of their own sentences in the process of revising a piece of writing. The paper shows that, by analyzing sentential themes and their function in ac ..."
Abstract
- Add to MetaCart
in academic writing, students can learn to perform the same analysis in revising sentences in their own writing and thus can develop their ability to communicate information more effectively. The paper analyzes a scholarly article in psychology to illustrate the kinds of sentential themes that occur
Verbal integration: the interaction of participant roles and sentential argument structure
- J Psycholing Res
"... This paper explores the interaction between sentence level syntactic information and the semantic information that is carried with the verb during sentence comprehension. A cross-modal integration task was employed to examine whether the number of participant roles (thematic roles associated with th ..."

The effect of preceding sentential structural information (varied with respect to the number of argument and/or adjunct NPs preceding the verb) was also manipulated

(Ir)relevant Possessors
"... The relevance of a possessor to the information expressed in an utterance has been recognized as a factor in stipulating external possession (EP) constructions, where the possessor seems to be placed on the same level as the possessum (Shibatani 1974; Iordanskaja & Mel’ 1999). This paper propose ..."

Behavioral methods for investigating morphological and syntactic processing in children

, 2008
"... While most first language acquisition research to date focuses on the development of children's linguistic competence, a number of research teams have also investigated the mechanisms children employ to process sentence-and word-level information in real time, by applying experimental techniqu ..."

Long-term priming of the meanings of ambiguous words
"... a b s t r a c t Comprehension of semantically ambiguous words (e.g., ''bark'') is strongly influenced by the relative frequencies of their meanings, such that listeners are biased towards retrieving the most frequent meaning. These biases are often assumed to reflect a highly st ..."

These results provide evidence for a top-down influence of sentential context in retuning abstract lexical/semantic representations, and illustrate how semantic retuning can improve the comprehension of ambiguous words in speech.
