Modelling Parsing Constraints with High-Dimensional Context Space.

Burgess, Curt; Lund, Kevin

Language and Cognitive Processes, v12 n2-3 p177-210 Apr-Jun 1997

Presents a model of high-dimensional context space, the Hyperspace Analogue to Language (HAL), with a series of simulations modelling human empirical results. Proposes that HAL's context space can be used to provide a basic categorization of semantic and grammatical concepts; model certain aspects of morphological ambiguity in verbs; and provide an account of semantic context effects in syntactic processing.
