La levée des ambiguïtés syntaxiques : apport des recherches inter-langues

The first section of this article presents three types of models as a function of the solutions they propose in case of syntactic ambiguity: (1) the parser forces the decision (e.g., in favour of the simplest structure); (2) the choice is postponed until more information is available; (3) the different structures are processed in parallel, together with other sources of information. The second section shows that these models cannot explain cross-linguistic differences observed in the resolution of syntactically ambiguous sentences. The third section presents a few new models that have been proposed to explain cross-linguistic data.
