语言处理中的预测在过去的二十年里一直是心理语言学的一个主要研究课题，但大多数研究集中在语义预测而不是句法预测。本文首先讨论了一些有影响力的解析模型，这些模型假设解析者有能力预测句法节点，从左角解析器和花园路径模型开始，以强调在线概率预测的当前信息理论方法结束。然后，我们转向证据的预测具体的句法形式，包括并列分句和名词短语，动词参数，和个别名词，以及研究，使用形态句法的限制，以评估是否一个特定的语义预测已经作出。最后一节考虑了句法预测对语言结构理论的影响，并描述了未来研究的四个方向。
Prediction in language processing has been a topic of major interest in psycholinguistics for at least the last two decades, but most investigations focus on semantic rather than syntactic prediction. This review begins with a discussion of some influential models of parsing which assume that comprehenders have the ability to anticipate syntactic nodes, beginning with left-corner parsers and the garden-path model and ending with current information-theoretic approaches that emphasize online probabilistic prediction. We then turn to evidence for the prediction of specific syntactic forms, including coordinate clauses and noun phrases, verb arguments, and individual nouns, as well as studies that use morphosyntactic constraints to assess whether a specific semantic prediction has been made. The last section considers the implications of syntactic prediction for theories of language architecture and describes four avenues for future research.
