Right for the Wrong Reasons: Diagnosing Syntactic Heuristics in Natural Language Inference (2019, background): “…heuristic are inspired by psycholinguistics research on garden path sentences (Bever, 1970; Frazier and Rayner, 1982) and local coherence (Tabor et al., 2004); these works have similar aims as our subsequence heuristic but are concerned with the representations used by humans in online…”
Interference effects from grammatically unavailable constituents during sentence processing. (2007, background): “(2001) results have been criticized because of the possibility that merely presenting the alternative question “Did Anna dress the baby?” was sufficient to activate the incorrect interpretation (Tabor et al., 2004).”
Interpreting pronouns and demonstratives in Finnish: Evidence for a form-specific approach to reference resolution (2008, background): “( 2001 ) observed, even after a sentence has been re-analysed, aspects of the initial parse can still persist, ie, the initial interpretation is not necessarily fully eradicated (see also Tabor, Galantucci, & Richardson, 2004 ).”
Expectation-based syntactic comprehension. (2008, background): “39 This is perhaps particularly true in non-cumulative presentations, which were used in Tabor et al. (2004) and Konieczny (2005).”
A content-addressable pointer mechanism underlies comprehension of verb-phrase ellipsis (2008, background): “The findings are also consistent with dynamical models postulating representations where grammatical features are distributed over several nodes (e.g., Tabor, Galantucci, & Richardson, 2004; Tabor & Hutchins, 2004; Vosse & Kempen, 2000), which likewise assume content-addressable representations an”
On the Meaning of Words and Dinosaur Bones: Lexical Knowledge Without a Lexicon (2009, background): “Tabor and Tanenhaus (2001), Tabor, Juliano, and Tanenhaus (1997) have made similar points, and in a particularly elegant study (Tabor, 2004) have demonstrated that a dynamical approach accounts for the effects of ''local coherence'' on processing, in which partial parses that are syntactically…”
Lingering misinterpretations of garden path sentences arise from competing syntactic representations (2013, methodology): “The theoretical approach advocated here is similar in spirit to self-organized parsing models, which have been proposed to account for local coherence effects associated with sentences such as (7) (Tabor & Hutchins, 2004;Tabor et al., 2004):”
The 'Good Enough' Approach to Language Comprehension (2007, result): “Our goal will be not to evaluate these contributions in detail, but instead to indicate how a number of trends in psycholinguistics are consistent with the GE idea.”
Processing of relative clauses is made easier by frequency of occurrence (2007, result): “Along these lines, our results could be interpreted from the constraint-based perspective (MacDonald et al., 1994; Spivey, Fitneva, Tabor, & Ajmani, 2002; Stevenson, 1994; Tabor et al., 2004; Tabor & Hutchins, 2003) that conceives parsing as a dynamical process in which the construction of linguisti”
Agreement Attraction in Comprehension: Representations and Processes. (2009, result): “Such an account is also consistent with contemporary models of comprehension in which parsing decisions are heavily influenced by local surface statistics (e.g., Tabor, Galantucci, & Richardson, 2004 ).”
