A Bottom-Up Parsing Model of Local Coherence Effects

Abstract

Human sentence processing occurs incrementally. Most models of human processing rely on parsers that always build connected tree structures. But according to the theory of Good Enough parsing (Ferreira & Patson, 2007), humans parse sentences using small chunks of local information, not alwaysforming a globally coherent parse. This difference is apparent in the study of local coherence effects (Tabor, Galantucci, & Richardson, 2004), wherein a locally plausible interpretation interferes with the correct global interpretation of a sentence. We present a model that accounts for these effects using a wide-coverage parser that captures the idea of Good Enough parsing. Using Combinatory Categorial Grammar, our parser works bottom-up, enforcing the use of local information only. We model the difficulty of processing a sentence in terms of the probability of a locally coherent reading relative to the probabilityof the globally coherent reading of the sentence. Our model successfully predicts psycholinguistic results.
