- Year 2 Development and Language; TB6 Sentences and Meaning
- Lecture 1; Word Meanings and Ambiguity
- What is ambiguity and how do we understand it?
- Types of ambiguity
- Syntactic ambiguity
- Ambiguity providing information about word recognition processes
- Types of ambiguity
- Models of sentence contexts and effect on multiple meanings
- Multiple access model
- Context Guided model
- The influence of sentence context is considered in both models, they differ on;
- When?
- How?
- Meaning frequency?
- Evidence to support models
- Cross-modal priming research
- An ONLINE task
- Lexical decision tasks
- Meta-analyses
- Meaning frequency effects
- Cross-modal priming research
- What is ambiguity and how do we understand it?
- Lecture 2; The Structure of Sentences
- The main objectives behind sentence processing
- Parsing
- A constructive process fundamentally different from word recognition
- Incremental?
- Single v.s all possible interpretations?
- Phrase structure grammar
- Grammatical 'rules' creating infinite complexity
- Syntactic trees
- Phrase structure grammar
- Grammatical 'rules' creating infinite complexity
- Syntactic trees
- Parsing
- Syntactic ambiguity
- Attachment (tree) ambiguity
- Global v.s local ambiguity
- Ambiguity resolution strategies
- The Garden Path theory
- Core concepts
- Incremental
- Serial
- Autonomous
- Innate/ universal
- Core concepts
- The main objectives behind sentence processing
- Lecture 3; Support for models of structure of sentences
- Semantic Factors in Parsing
- Referential context
- Effects of minimal attachment
- The effect of Animacy
- Alternatives to the Garden-path approach
- Referential Theory
- Incremental parallel processes
- Weak interaction
- There is never a truly neutral context
- Context can override the garden path effect
- Constraint based frameworks
- Parser considers alternatives in parallel
- Ambiguity resolution = a constraint satisfaction process
- Multiple constraint sources for various competing processes
- Parser considers alternatives in parallel
- Referential Theory
- Cross-linguistic evidence for parsing
- Evidence from ambiguity resolution studies suggests NO UNIVERSAL PARSER
- Eye tracking studies are sensitive to the speed of processing for individual words
- Semantic Factors in Parsing
- Lecture 4; How do we use language?
- How language interacts with our exploration of the world
- Modularity and autonomy
- Visual context having an influence on parser
- Language guiding vison and action
- Prediction
- 'Common ground'
- The avoidance of ambiguity
- Pair studies; conveyance of ambiguity in lexical tasks
- Avoidance of egocentric perspective studies
- Cultural differences
- The avoidance of ambiguity
- Direct v.s indirect speech
- The LITERAL meaning (10%) v.s the meaning BEYOND literal (90%)
- How do we understand indirect speech?
- Fictive motion studies
- The impact of conversation on language
- Grice's (1975) conversation maxims
- Quantity
- Quality
- Relevence
- Clarity/ manner
- Grice's (1975) conversation maxims
- How language interacts with our exploration of the world
- Tutorial; Bilingualism and the consequences of learning multiple languages
- Lecture 1; Word Meanings and Ambiguity
