Additional information
<22> Originality: The first paper to use eye-tracking corpora to evaluate models of human sentence processing. Provides a systematic comparison of two leading models, and shows that they make complementary predictions.
Significance: The proposed corpus-based approach is now the state of the art for the evaluation of sentence processing models. Previously, impressionistic evaluations using small manually constructed data set were common.
Rigour: Qualitative methods from natural language processing and statistical modelling are bought to bear on the problem for the first time.
