Routledge Working Memory in Sentence Comprehension: Processing Hindi Center Embeddings (Outstanding Dissertations in Linguistics)

Product Description The first-ever investigation of sentence processing in Hindi, Working Memory in Sentence Comprehension studies the predictions of three existing, wide-coverage sentence processing models. In experiments that apply these models to Hindi, Shravan Vasishth develops a new sentence processing model that builds on existing theories and overcomes their empirical problems. Advancing the understanding of human parsing processes, this book is a landmark in cross-linguistic research, presenting a challenging set of sentence processing facts that will impact future theories. About the Author Shravan Vasishth is co-editor of the Seventh Edition of the Language Files, published by the Ohio State University of Press. He is currently a researcher in the Department of Computational Linguistics at Saarland University, Germany.
