קולוקוויום מחקרי - החוג לבלשנות

במסגרת הקולוקוויום המחקרי של החוג לבלשנות, שמתקיים מדי יום חמישי, בין השעות 16:15-17:45 בבניין ווב (חדר 103):

הרצאתה של פרופ' איה מלצר-אשר, שכותרתה:

Sentence processing in noisy and dynamic environments

תקציר:

Communication takes place in noisy and dynamic environments. Yet, language comprehension is largely effortless and accurate. In this talk, I will discuss how mechanisms of language comprehension are adapted to operate in the face of noise and variability. I will review the noisy-channel processing framework, according to which comprehenders use Bayesian inferencing to reconstruct intended utterances. I will present findings from Hebrew showing that noisy-channel inferencing is engaged during real-time sentence processing, and not only offline. In addition, I will discuss adaptation of language processing mechanisms to variable settings, focusing on mechanisms of lexical prediction. I will present evidence showing that comprehenders attenuate their predictions when the predictive validity in the experiment is low.
