Produktinformationen zu „The availability of verb-based instrument information in sentence processing “
This work explores the role of verb information during online processing of
spoken language. Currently, the field already acknowledges a large influence
of verb information in the prediction of structure during language comprehension,
but focuses on information used to make predictions about immediately
upcoming, syntactically licensed constituents, leaving questions about
how (and if) verb information is used to make predictions about other upcoming
elements of the sentence. Instruments are unique in that they have a
close semantic relation with verbs while at the same time, they maintain only
a loose syntactic connection. As such, instruments have the potential to
untangle questions about what kinds of verb-specific information can influence
unfolding interpretation of a sentence. Also, a better understanding
of the connection between instruments and their associated verbs can help to
shed light on the structure and organization of lexical entries. These findings
should prove useful for researchers and students of Linguistics and Cognitive
Science, particularly those investigating Lexical Semantics or Sentence Processing.
