Race-based parsing and syntactic disambiguation. McRoy, S. & Hirst, G. Cognitive science, 14(3):313–353, July–September, 1990. abstract bibtex We present a processing model that integrates some important psychological claims about the human sentence-parsing mechanism; namely, that processing is influenced by limitations on working memory and by various syntactic preferences. The model uses time-constraint information to resolve conflicting preferences in a psychologically plausible way. The starting point for this proposal is the Sausage Machine model. (Fodor and Frazier, 1980; Frazier and Fodor, 1978). From there, we attempt to overcome the original model's dependence on ad hoc aspects of its grammar, and its omission of verb-frame preferences. We also add mechanisms for lexical disambiguation and semantic processing in parallel with syntactic processing.
