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.
