Effects of lifetime and fact knowledge in language comprehension

本研究探讨了终身知识和事实性知识在语言理解中的作用。这种影响实际上是未经检验的，而且作为一个研究课题很有趣，因为关于说话者一生的地位（他/她还活着吗？）和成就（例如，某人主演了什么电影）的知识可能比刻板印象的知识（例如，女警察倾向于逮捕罪犯，而不是相反）更不同质。我们知道，在理解过程中，刻板的世界知识被迅速而有力地应用。对于生活和事实知识也是如此吗？这种影响也是快速的，或者更确切地说，是后期理解过程的一部分吗？这项提案是在与大流行病有关的不利影响影响到提案执行的情况下的一项延续提案。

The proposal examines effects of knowledge about lifetime and of factual knowledge during language comprehension. Such effects are virtually unexamined and of interest as a research topic since knowledge about a speaker's lifetime status (is s/he alive?) and accomplishments (e.g., in what film someone starred) is potentially less homogeneous than stereotypical knowledge (e.g., that female police officers tend to arrest criminals and not the other way around). We know that stereotypical world knowledge is rapidly and robustly applied during comprehension. Is the same true for lifetime and fact knowledge? Are such effects also rapid or rather part of later comprehension processes? This proposal is a continuation proposal in the context of pandemic-related adverse effects on execution of the proposal.
