On-Line Sentence Comprehension of Ambiguous Verbs in Mandarin.
Ahrens, Kathleen
Journal of East Asian Linguistics, v10 n4 p337-58 Oct 2001
Demonstrates that both meanings of an ambiguity are accessed at the onset of the ambiguity when the context is biased towards the secondary meaning. This evidence does not support the context-dependent model, which says that contextual bias should aid the processor in selecting a meaning. (Author/VWL)
