Subject: [CaCL] Thursday: Ledoux and Camblin 2008: The neural mechanisms of coreference

Hey all,
Due to paywall weirdness with the other paper and in the interest of improving/extending my current modeling efforts for coreference, I've opted for the review paper attached here.  I'm specifically looking for potential predictors for LMER and to what extent coreference is happening as part and parcel of syntactic parsing or whether it is a distinct process with different brain regions implicated, different time courses, etc.

Abstract:
Coreference (the mechanism by which two linguistic expressions are taken to refer to the same entity in the world) is a universal and essential feature of discourse. Without this tool, our ability to comprehend language would be severely impaired. Due to their central role in discourse comprehension, the processes by which coreference is established have been the focus of numerous behavioral studies. In this article, we review studies that build upon that body of work by employing the event‐related potential technique to elucidate the neuronal bases underlying the representation and processing of discourse. We include in our review studies that violate the formal constraints on the establishment of coreference described by linguistic theory; studies that examine the relative ease or difficulty of establishing coreference under different conditions as predicted by processing models; and studies that examine the modulation of lexico‐semantic processing (such as priming) by processes associated with the establishment of coreference. Additionally, we discuss the implications of this research for models of coreference.

See you Thursday!
Evan
