O Efeito Labirinto Além Da Sintaxe

O presente artigo trata das chamadas sentenças-labirinto, mostrando que, em casos em que a entoação e a estrutura informacional são suficientemente claras, a ambigüidade gerada pelo mencionado efeito não ocorre. O artigo contribui para a área do processamento lingüístico humano mostrando que, quando faladas, as sentenças das quais se esperam problemas de processamento sérios podem não apresentar tais problemas. A partir de um modelo teórico chamado Gramática Categorial Combinatória, mostramos como o processamento incremental de sentenças é ajudado pelas informações prosódicas e informacionais na atribuição de estrutura gramatical adequada a sentenças tradicionalmente consideradas labirinto. Garden-path effect beyond syntax: eliminating ambiguity Abstract The present article deals with the so-called garden-path effect. Traditionally, garden-path sentences are those that cause serious problem for the mental parser during processing and, although they are perfectly grammatical, there is no attribution of grammatical structure to them. We try to show that, when spoken, the garden-path sentences may not present the same kind of problem to the human sentence processing mechanism. In this paper we show how sufficiently informative data regarding prosody and informational structure can help the parser attribute correct grammatical structure to garden-path sentences when they are spoken. Using a framework called Combinatory Categorial Grammar, we show how incremental interpretation of garden-path sentences can be helped by prosody and informational structure during the processing of such sentences
