Title: Immediate disambiguation of lexically ambiguous words during reading: evidence from eye movements.
Authors: Rayner K (AUTHOR), Cook AE (AUTHOR), Juhasz BJ (AUTHOR), Frazier L (AUTHOR)

Abstract: Sentences containing lexically ambiguous words were read as readers' eye movements were monitored. On half of the trials, the dominant meaning of the ambiguous word was instantiated, while in the other half, the subordinate meaning was instantiated. Furthermore, on half of the trials, an adjective or modifier immediately preceded the target noun (kitchen table, statistical table), which was consistent with either the dominant or subordinate meaning. The results of the experiment demonstrate that readers are able to immediately utilize the modifier to select the appropriate meaning of the ambiguous word. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
