The symptom of a garden path in sentence processing is an important anomaly in the input string. This anomaly signals to the parser that an error has occurred, and provides cues for how to repair it. Anomaly detection is thus an important aspect of sentence processing. In the present study, we investigated how the parser responds to unambiguous sentences that contain syntactic anomalies and pragmatic anomalies, examining records of eye movement during reading. While sensitivity to the two kinds of anomaly was very rapid and essentially simultaneous, qualitative differences existed in the patterns of first-pass reading times and eye regressions. The results are compatible with the proposal that syntactic information and pragmatic information are used differently in garden-path recovery.
句子处理中“花园路径”现象的症状是输入字符串中的一个重要异常。这种异常向解析器发出错误信号，并为如何修复错误提供线索。因此，异常检测是句子处理的一个重要方面。在本研究中，我们通过检查阅读过程中的眼动记录，研究了解析器如何对包含句法异常和语用异常的明确句子做出反应。虽然对这两种异常的敏感度都非常快且基本同步，但首次阅读时间和眼跳回视模式存在质的差异。这些结果与句法信息和语用信息在“花园路径”恢复中使用方式不同的观点一致。
