New paper out in Cognitive Science! We analyzed various predictors of local ambiguity resolution on a heterogeneous set of garden-path sentences, namely surprisal, frequency, plausibility and cloze scores (measuring the likelihood of misanalysis of the ambiguous region). 1/2

Mass shooting happened at our faculty in Prague today. I was in the building. I locked myself in the office and I was lucky the attacker was on the fourth floor and me on the first. We were later escorted outside by the police and we spent about three hours under police supervision. 1/2
