Resolution of Syntactic Ambiguity: the Case of New Subjects
<|reference_start|>Resolution of Syntactic Ambiguity: the Case of New Subjects: I review evidence for the claim that syntactic ambiguities are resolved on the basis of the meaning of the competing analyses, not their structure. I identify a collection of ambiguities that do not yet have a meaning-based account and propose one which is based on the interaction of discourse and grammatical function. I provide evidence for my proposal by examining statistical properties of the Penn Treebank of syntactically annotated text.<|reference_end|>
