We use the 100 million word British National Corpus to investigate the extent of ambiguity and the amount and specificity of the information available for disambiguation in natural language use (in contrast with the isolated contexts used in psycholinguistic experiments).
This suggests sufficient information is nearly always available to determine the correct structural analysis - before reaching the point traditionally considered to be the disambiguation point.
Additionally, through the analysis of cases where the model predicts the wrong subcategorization, it allows for the identification and detailed analysis of truly ambiguous or garden-path cases.

We use a large corpus (the British National Corpus) to investigate the actual extent of ambiguity and how much information is available for disambiguation.
The use of corpus data allows us to investigate the relative frequency and strength of disambiguating information available in natural sentence comprehension, in contrast with the isolated contexts used in psycholinguistic experiments.
Besides providing a measure of the amount of information available for disambiguation, this approach also allows for the identification of factors that can be used to resolve ambiguity.
