We report four studies using eye-movements in visual scenes to investigate role-assignment and structural disambiguation through actions depicting role-relations between agents and patients in agent-action-patient events in initially structurally ambiguous spoken sentences.
In Experiment 1, shortly after the verb and before disambiguation by NP2 case marking, we observed anticipatory inspections to the patient for SVO, and to the agent for OVS sentences.
Our findings suggest that depicted actions are used for rapid disambiguation of local structural and role ambiguity which verb knowledge alone could not have disambiguated.

The Disambiguation guidelines asks that links that point to disambiguation pages be changed to point to the correct articles.
If you create an article with disambiguators you might like to add it here for convenience, especially if you do not create a disambiguation page but know the placename will need disambiguation eventually.
If you write an article with a disambiguator in the title, but do not want to create a disambiguation page because the ambiguous name refers to a famous place that should not be disambiguated, please add both pages to this list.

Using these two resources in combination, a range of disambiguation tests was done on more than 60,000 noun instances from corpus texts of different types, and 60 blanks from real cloze texts.
Future work is suggested for expanding the analysis on target nature and making the combination of disambiguation evidence sensitive to the requirements of the word being disambiguated.

If you're willing to disambiguate a training sample by hand, it is possible to develop classifiers for each ambiguous word.
If you don't want to disambiguate by hand, you can check the dictionary definitions of each sense of a word, and compare them for overlapping vocabulary with the definitions of neighboring words.
Some dictionaries have semantic codes for each sense (e.g., 'tank' in the Cambridge International Dictionary of English has two senses, with codes "container" and "military vehicle").
