Resolving structural ambiguity using animacy and grammatical cues in Chinese. by Ong, Deborah Yoke Ting.

“…The role of animacy has also been found to be relevant in Chinese, with studies on the Competition Model supporting it as an important cue in agent identification (Bates et al., 1992). With two off-line questionnaire studies, this study looks at how the semantic animacy role and grammatical role (low attachment preference) affect ambiguity resolution in Chinese for both comprehension and production. …”
