SFB 732: Incremental Specification in Context

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Taking as a starting point the pervasive presence of ambiguity that characterises all levels of linguistic analysis, the task of the Collaborative Research Centre is to achieve a better understanding of the mechanisms that lead to "ambiguity" control/disambiguation. We regard ambiguity as the result of underspecification and hence disambiguation processes as processes of specification of an underspecified input. Indeed a wide variety of linguistic processes can be captured along these lines (speech perception and recognition, morphological, syntactic and semantic disambiguation etc.) and constitute the research agenda of the Collaborative Research Centre.
