项目摘要

We propose to investigate the interaction of contextual information with shifts in meaning during the composition of complex expressions (= coercion). The nature of contextual influences on compositional processes is central for long lasting debates about the architecture of the semantics-pragmatics interface. As a starting point the proposed project will take two alternative views on the nature of this interface: a) a modular account according to which sentence meaning is initially processed in isolation from pragmatic information or b) an interactive account with semantic and pragmatic information percolating into the composition of complex meaning right from the start. Existing experimental research has employed the phenomenon of coercion as the primary tool to study the online processing of compositional processes with great success, but so far the role of contextual information has been largely ignored. Building on our existing work on coercion phenomena, we plan to study interactions between the sentence and the larger discourse context in four lines of study. Firstly, we will look at aspectual enrichment during the composition of complex event representations to investigate whether information from the preceding discourse context can immediately be combined with information from the sentence. Secondly, we will study cases of aspectual impoverishment in which information in the sentence requires a reinterpretation of the event representation that has been built up for the preceding discourse context. Thirdly, we will investigate contextual resolution of aspectual ambiguity, i.e. coercion sentences which allow for two different coercion operations with two different corresponding event representations only one of which is contextually supported. Finally, we will extend existing research on contextual effects on complement coercion aiming at a better understanding of the underlying operations in deriving compositional meaning.The findings of the project will significantly improve the field both empirically and theoretically. Focusing on local contextual adjustments during online composition the proposed project will make an important contribution to extend pragmatic theory towards real-time processing. On the empirical side, we will gather offline, eyetracking and ERP data to gain a better understanding of the cognitive foundations involved in deriving complex meaning in context.The proposed project focuses on the main goal of the XPrag.de: New Pragmatic Theories based on Experimental Evidence by addressing the question how theories on the architecture of the semantics/pragmatics interface can be transformed into more precise theories of context dependence of semantic composition. Crucially, we will consider the temporal and neural underpinnings of language processing, utilizing a broad range of experimental methods.

我们建议调查的上下文信息的相互作用，在复杂的表达（=胁迫）的组成过程中的意义转变。语境对合成过程的影响的本质是关于语义-语用界面结构的长期争论的核心。作为一个出发点，拟议的项目将采取两种不同的看法，这种接口的性质：a）模块帐户，根据该模块帐户，句子的意义最初是孤立的语用信息处理或B）一个互动帐户的语义和语用信息从一开始就扩展到复杂的意义的组成。已有的实验研究以强迫现象为主要工具，成功地研究了合成过程的在线加工，但到目前为止，语境信息的作用在很大程度上被忽视了。基于我们现有的工作胁迫现象，我们计划研究句子和更大的话语背景之间的相互作用在四个研究线。首先，我们将研究在复杂事件表征的组成过程中的体充实，以调查来自前面的话语上下文的信息是否可以立即与来自句子的信息相结合。第二，我们将研究体貌扩展的案例，在这些案例中，句子中的信息需要重新解释为前面的话语语境建立的事件表征。第三，我们将研究体歧义的语境消解，即强制句，允许两个不同的强制操作与两个不同的相应事件表示，其中只有一个是上下文支持的。最后，我们将扩展已有的关于语境对补语压制的影响的研究，旨在更好地理解补语压制的基本操作，本项目的研究结果将在实证和理论上显著改善该领域。该研究将重点放在在线写作过程中的局部语境调整上，将为语用学理论向实时处理的扩展做出重要贡献。在实证方面，我们将收集离线，眼动和ERP数据，以更好地了解在上下文中推导复杂意义所涉及的认知基础。拟议的项目侧重于www.example.com的主要目标XPrag.de：基于实验证据的新语用理论，通过解决语义/语用界面可以转化为更精确的语义组合的语境依赖理论。至关重要的是，我们将考虑语言处理的时间和神经基础，利用广泛的实验方法。
