Language Production and Interpretation: Linguistics meets Cognition
Av Henk Zeevat
Inbunden, 2014
2169 kr

An utterance is normally produced by a speaker in linear time and the hearer normally correctly identifies the speaker intention in linear time and incrementally. This is hard to understand in a standard competence grammar since languages are highly ambiguous and context-free parsing is not linear. …
