 Comprehension complexity and corpus frequencies in noun phrase conjunction
A number of researchers have proposed that sentence comprehension is frequency driven, such that the ease of understanding a construction depends on its frequency of use (e.g., Jurafsky, 1996; MacDonald and Seidenberg, 1999; Mitchell et al., 1995; Tabor, Juliano and Tanenhaus, 1997).
When presented with the syntactic ambiguity involving the conjunction of a noun phrase to three possible attachment sites, participants were faster to read attachments to the first site (e.g., 1a) than attachments to the second one (e.g., 1b), although the latter were shown to be more frequent in text corpora (Gibson, Schutze, and Salomon, 1996).
When the disambiguation contained the pronoun 'one', we replicated the high attachment preference that was found by Gibson and Schutze (1999).

 Text and Images
Text and images are ubiquitous in human communication and there are deep connections between the use of these two modalities.
Whereas humans easily become experts for mapping from images to text (e.g., a radio reporter describing a soccer game) or from text to images (e.g., a cartoonist transforming a story into a comic strip), such complex transformations are a great challenge for computer systems.
In multimodal communication humans utilize a combination of text and images (e.g., illustrated books, sub-titles for animations) taking advantage of both the individual strength of each communication mode and the fact that both modes can be employed in parallel.
