The Semantics of Sentence Subjects
It is proposed that subjects of transitive verbs in English are perceived as belonging to a semantic hierarchy, with human subjects most acceptable and non-human subjects less so. As a test, six semantically defined classes of subjects were systematically interchanged in simple, well-formed sentences: in Experiment I, 25 students rated the resultant sentences for acceptability; in Experiment II, 25 more students altered one word in the same sente…
The Use of Syntax in Understanding Sentences
The present study explored the processes by which people understand sentences. Simple sentences with subjects, verbs and objects, but with specific semantic anomalies, were constructed from naturally occurring sentences. Sentences so derived were given to participants in Expts. I and III to judge for sensibleness and to participants in Expts. II and IV to alter so that they made more sense. The results showed the existence of two levels of proces…
