On the structural ambiguity in natural language that the neural architecture cannot deal with

Rens Bod, Hartmut Fitz, Willem H. Zuidema · Behavioral and Brain Sciences · 2006

We argue that van der Velde's & de Kamps's model does not solve the binding problem but merely shifts the burden of constructing appropriate neural representations of sentence structure to unexplained preprocessing of the linguistic input. As a consequence, their model is not able to explain how various neural representations can be assigned to sentences that are structurally ambiguous.
