Anaphoric dependencies can span the boundary of an ellipsis-site, as in sentences like “Bob’s photo of himself from the birthday party was beautiful like Pablo’s [Noun Phrase Ellipsis] from the pool party”. These dependencies are known to exhibit a systematic ambiguity between an interpretation where anaphors interpreted in the deleted portion of the sentence can be interpreted as bound by either their nearby candidate antecedent for the reflexive in its local clause proximal to the NPE-site or by the structurally analogous noun phrase in the antecedent clause. In the above example, the ambiguity is whether the reflexive in the ellipsis is co-referent with Pablo or with Bob. This study presents the results of an experiment on the real-time processing of this so-called strict/sloppy-identity ambiguity to examine which reading the parser preferentially adopts. The study finds that the strict reading is preferred on-line, indicating that coreference information is available to the parser, and suggests implications for this finding to better understand the grammatical representation of coreference.
Abstract
Anaphoric dependencies can span the boundary of an ellipsis-site, as in sentences like “Bob’s photo of himself from the birthday party was beautiful like Pablo’s [Noun Phrase Ellipsis] from the pool party”. These dependencies are known to exhibit a systematic ambiguity between an interpretation where anaphors interpreted in the deleted portion of the sentence can be interpreted as bound by either their nearby candidate antecedent for the reflexive in its local clause proximal to the NPE-site or by the structurally analogous noun phrase in the antecedent clause. In the above example, the ambiguity is whether the reflexive in the ellipsis is co-referent with Pablo or with Bob. This study presents the results of an experiment on the real-time processing of this so-called strict/sloppy-identity ambiguity to examine which reading the parser preferentially adopts. The study finds that the strict reading is preferred on-line, indicating that coreference information is available to the parser, and suggests implications for this finding to better understand the grammatical representation of coreference.
