Within the framework of Friederici's (2002) neurocognitive model of sentence processing,
the early left anterior negativity (ELAN) in event-related potentials (ERPs) has been claimed …

Visual narratives of sequential images–as found in comics, picture stories, and storyboards–
are often thought to provide a fairly universal and transparent message that requires minimal …

Reading times on words in a sentence depend on the amount of information the words
convey, which can be estimated by probabilistic language models. We investigate whether …

This is the first full study of how people refer to entities in natural discourse. It contributes to
the understanding of both linguistic diversity and the cognitive underpinnings of language …

When do listeners take into account who the speaker is? We asked people to listen to
utterances whose content sometimes did not match inferences based on the identity of the …

The P600 is an event-related brain potential (ERP) typically associated with the processing
of grammatical anomalies or incongruities. A similar response has also been observed in …

Understanding the processes that permit us to extract meaning from spoken or written
linguistic input requires elucidating how, when, and where in the brain sentences and …

We present a general model and conceptual framework for specifying architectures for
incremental processing in dialogue systems, in particular with respect to the topology of the …
