“…In spite of the evidence that understanding a sentence involves more than the construction of a propositional form, many computational models (e.g., Budiu & Anderson, 2004;Chang, 2002;Desai, 2007;Dominey, 2005;Hadley & Cardei, 1999;Hadley & Hayward, 1997;Mayberry, Crocker, & Knoeferle, in press;St.John & McClelland, 1990) represent sentence meaning as a structural combination of symbols, corresponding to the proposition expressed by the sentence.
