Psycholinguistic research has focused much attention on the factors that influence structural ambiguity resolution, under the assumption that meaning is derived from a selected syntactic representation in a systematic, compositional way. Problematically, however, researchers have increasingly observed examples suggesting that perceptions of sentence acceptability and meaning are not always straightforwardly constrained by logical semantics. Most English speakers, for example, initially accept the sentence More people have been to Berlin than I have until asked to explain more clearly what it means, at which point its meaninglessness becomes obvious. Meanwhile, the sentence No head injury is too trivial to ignore is overwhelmingly perceived to mean exactly the opposite of its implausible grammar-based meaning, an error that is only readily detected with extended conscious effort. The goal of this thesis is uncover what these "semantic illusions" tell us about semantic processing by identifying the locus of nonveridical processing. In spite of appearances I argue that it is impossible to explain perceptions of and reactions to these illusion sentences without referencing properties that influence their logical form; this suggests, contrary to existing proposals, that the illusion is generated by online computations associated with, not external to, the grammar, and that nonveridical perceptions are induced by processing mechanisms responsible for navigating the logical form of sentences that contain probable speech errors and/or those that fall at the outer boundaries of computational tractability. Because the source of these illusions is not well understood, a more general goal of this work is to establish their fundamental properties, including the nature of their percept(s) and the properties that modulate that percept, to pave the way for future research.
