Abstract:

Sentence comprehension - the way we process and understand spoken and written
language - is a central and important area of research within
psycholinguistics. This book explores the contribution of computational
linguistics to the field, showing how computational models of sentence
processing can help scientists in their investigation of human cognitive
processes. It presents the leading computational model of retrieval processes
in sentence processing, the Lewis and Vasishth cue-based retrieval mode, and
develops a principled methodology for parameter estimation and model
comparison/evaluation using benchmark data, to enable researchers to test
their own models of retrieval against the present model. It also provides
readers with an overview of the last 20 years of research on the topic of
retrieval processes in sentence comprehension, along with source code that
allows researchers to extend the model and carry out new research.
Comprehensive in its scope, this book is essential reading for researchers in
cognitive science.
