Parsing in a Dynamical System: An Attractor-Based Account of the Interaction of Lexical and Structural Constraints in Sentence Processing.
Tabor, Whitney; And Others
Language and Cognitive Processes, v12 n2-3 p211-71 Apr-Jun 1997
Proposes a dynamical systems approach to parsing in which syntactic hypotheses are associated with attractors in a metric space. The experiments discussed documented various contingent frequency effects that cut across traditional linguistic grains, each of which was predicted by the dynamical systems model.
