Studies of syntactic ambiguity resolution have played a central role in resolving questions about when and how contextual information affects parsing processes. These investigations are often couched in terms of modularity versus interaction, with demonstrations of rapid contextual effects being taken as evidence that the mechanisms responsible for structuring sentences are permeable to referential or semantic context, and therefore non-modular. In this paper, we will propose that argument relations are constructed on the basis of lexically stored syntactic representations (as in MacDonald, M.C., Pearlmutter, N.J., and Seidenberg, M.S. (1994). Lexical nature of syntactic ambiguity resolution. Psychological Review, 101, 676-703. Pickering, M.J., and Traxler, M.J. (2004). Grammatical repetition and garden path effects.

Tucson, AZ), but that other types of structural decisions are made on the basis of general processing principles. This formulation can be tested by looking at how the parser reacts to immediate intra- and inter-sentential factors (short-term context) and how it reacts to patterns of input over longer time scales (long-term context). We begin with a brief review of work on context effects in syntactic disambiguation, sketch our account of parsing, and then provide evidence from two eye-tracking experiments that illustrate some of the processing principles that govern parsing of argument relations.
句法歧义消解的研究在解决关于语境信息何时以及如何影响句法分析过程的问题上发挥了核心作用。这些研究通常围绕模块性与交互性展开，快速语境效应的证明被视为负责构建句子的机制可渗透到指称或语义语境的证据，因此是非模块化的。在本文中，我们将提出论元关系是基于词汇存储的句法表征构建的（如在MacDonald, M.C., Pearlmutter, N.J., 和Seidenberg, M.S. (1994)。句法歧义消解的词汇性质。《心理评论》，101，676 - 703。Pickering, M.J., 和Traxler, M.J. (2004)。语法重复与花园路径效应。提交给纽约城市大学句子处理会议的论文。马里兰州大学公园。Pickering, M.J., 和Traxler, M.J.

(2005年3月)。理解中的句法启动。提交给纽约城市大学句子处理会议的论文。亚利桑那州图森），但其他类型的结构决策是基于一般处理原则做出的。这个表述可以通过观察句法分析器如何对直接的句内和句间因素（短期语境）做出反应以及它如何对更长时间尺度上的输入模式（长期语境）做出反应来进行检验。我们首先简要回顾一下句法歧义消解中语境效应的相关研究，勾勒我们对句法分析的解释，然后提供来自两个眼动追踪实验的证据，这些证据说明了一些支配论元关系句法分析的处理原则。
