Description
Sentence Comprehension as a Cognitive Process: A Computational Approach provides a comprehensive exploration of how humans understand language at the sentence level. Written by leading researchers Shravan Vasishth and Felix Engelmann, this work bridges cognitive psychology, linguistics, and computational science to illuminate the complex processes involved in sentence comprehension.
The book examines fundamental questions about how readers and listeners parse sentences, resolve ambiguities, and integrate meaning. Through computational models and empirical evidence, the authors demonstrate how cognitive constraints shape language understanding. Topics include working memory limitations, garden-path sentences, dependency resolution, and real-time processing dynamics.
Designed for researchers, graduate students, and professionals in linguistics, cognitive science, and computational linguistics, this volume offers both theoretical insights and practical modeling approaches. It serves as an essential resource for understanding the intersection of human cognition and language processing.
