Associate Professor of Linguistics .
Website: www.umich.edu/~jeboland
Major research areas: Psycholinguistics; Sentence comprehension
and parsing, Lexical representation
Associated research areas: Computational models of language processing;
Formal syntactic theory; Eye movements and visual attention;
One focus of Dr. Boland's current research is the lexical/syntactic interface. How is syntactic knowledge stored and accessed, and to what extent is syntactic knowledge stored in the lexicon and accessed via word recognition? Another focus is the syntactic/semantic interface. In the course of sentence comprehension, do we construct distinctly structural and distinctly conceptual representations of a sentence, and to what extent is the conceptual representation dependent upon determining a (single) syntactic structure?
