摘  要:

Prediction plays a central role in language processing, rendering in particular tractable its
incremental nature by reducing the search space and controlling the number of possible
solutions. What is interesting is that different types of elements can be predicted: words as
well as entire structures. In this last case, the parsing process should only consist in verifying
the compatibility of the input with the predicted structure. We will first present in this talk
an approach, cue-based activation, implementing the prediction of entire constructions. In a
second part, I will describe a mechanism, called good-enough parsing, based on a smooth
matching of the predicted elements with the input. Finally, I will present evidences from an
EEG experiment, showing that brain activity confirms the predictions of the model.
