Context Effects on Sentence Processing: A Study Based on the Competition Model.
Su, I-Ru
Applied Psycholinguistics, v22 n2 p167-89 Jun 2001
Investigated how adult monolinguals and bilinguals incorporate the context cue in assigning the agent role vis-a-vis intrasentential cues (animacy and word order). Subjects were first and second language speakers of Chinese and English. Results show that both Chinese and English controls paid less attention to context than to intrasentential cues that have been identified as determinants for Chinese and English sentence processing.
