John T. Hale Automaton Theories of Human Sentence Comprehension. Stanford: Center for the Study of Language and Information, 2014. CSLI Studies in Computational Linguistics. First printing. 9781575867472 vii/119 pages. Softcover volume, measuring approximately 6" x 9.25", shows light shelfwear, with remnant of white price sticker over barcode in lower inside corner of rear cover. Binding is sound. Interior is clean and bright. "By relating grammar to cognitive architecture, John T. Hale shows step-by-step how incremental parsing works in models of perceptual processing and how specific learning rules might lead to frequency-sensitive preferences. Along the way, Hale reconsiders garden-pathing, the parallel/serial distinction, and information-theoretical complexity metrics, such as surprisal. This book is a must for cognitive scientists of language."
