Effects of sentence context on lexical ambiguity resolution in patients with schizophrenia.

abstract：:It is not clear how compound words are represented within the influential framework of the lemma-lexeme theory. Theoretically, compounds could be structured through a multiple lemma architecture, in which the lemma nodes of both the compound and its constituents are involved in lexical processing. If this were the cas...
