The lexical nature of syntactic ambiguity resolution
- Psychological Review
, 1994
"... Ambiguity resolution is a central problem in language comprehension. Lexical and syntactic ambiguities are standardly assumed to involve different types of knowledge representations and be resolved by different mechanisms. An alternative account is provided in which both types of ambiguity derive fr ..."

Semantic classes and syntactic ambiguity
- In Proceedings of ARPA Workshop on Human Language Technology
, 1993
"... resnik @ linc.cis.upenn.edu In this paper we propose to define selectional preference and semantic similarity as information-theoretic relationships involving conceptual classes, and we demonstrate the applicability of these definitions to the resolution of syntactic ambiguity. The space of classes ..."

Handling Syntactical Ambiguity in Machine Translation
"... The difficulties to be met with the resolu- tion of syntactical ambiguity in !T can be at least partially overcome by means of preserving the syntactical ambiguity of the source language into the target language. An extensive study of the correspondences between the syntactically ambiguous structur ..."

Actions and affordances in syntactic ambiguity resolution
- Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition
, 2004
"... In 2 experiments, eye movements were monitored as participants followed instructions containing temporary syntactic ambiguities (e.g., “Pour the egg in the bowl over the flour”). The authors varied the affordances of task-relevant objects with respect to the action required by the instruction (e.g., ..."

How Features Resolve Syntactic Ambiguity
- Proceedings of the Symposium on Information Storage and Retrieval
, 1971
"... Ambiguity is a pervasive and important as-pect of natural language. Ambiguities, which are disambiguated by context, contribute powerfully to the expressiveness of natural language as com-pared to formal languages. In computational systems using natural language, problems of prop-erly controlling am ..."

ambiguity are particularly large, partially because of the necessity to circumvent parsings due to multiple orderings in the appli-cation of rules. Features, that is, subcategorizations of parts-of-speech, constitute an effective means for controlling syntactic ambiguity through order-ing the hierarchical
Resolving syntactic ambiguities in natural language specification of constraints
, 2012
"... Abstract. In the NL2OCL project, we aim to translate English specification of software constraints to formal constraints such as OCL (Object Constraint Language). In the used approach, the Stanford POS tagger and the Stanford Parser are employed for syntactic analysis of English specification and th ..."

and the output of syntactic analysis is given to our semantic analyzer for the detailed semantic analysis. However, in few cases, the Stanford POS tagger and parser are not able to handle particular syntactic ambiguities in English specifications of software constraints. In this paper, we highlight
Reliability of prosodic cues for resolving syntactic ambiguity
- Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, & Cognition
, 1996
"... Although previous research has shown that listeners can use prosody to resolve syntactic ambiguities in spoken sentences, it is not clear whether naive, untrained speakers in experimental situations ordinarily produce the prosodic cues necessary for disambiguating such sentences. In a series of expe ..."

Resolution of Syntactic Ambiguity: the Case of New Subjects

I identify a collection of ambiguities that do not yet have a meaning-based account and propose one which is based on the interaction of discourse and g ..."
