Context Accommodation in Human Language Processing

This paper describes a model of human language processing (HLP) which is incremental and interactive, in concert with prevailing psycholinguistic evidence. To achieve this, the model combines an incremental, serial, pseudo-deterministic processing mechanism, which relies on a non-monotonic mechanism of context accommodation, with an interactive mechanism that uses all available information in parallel to select the best choice at each choice point.
