Below is an annotated bibliography of papers and books that I've
either read, or want to read. After a
while, I realized that I probably ought to put down the reason
why I thought something was a good read, or was something
that I ought to read.

emphasizing practical and popular (i.e., statistical) methods for
morphological, syntactic, and semantic processing.

Pragmatics.
Cambridge, England: Cambridge University Press.
-
An introduction to the study of discourse. The first few chapters
cover deixis, conversational implicature, and
speech act theory from a philosophical point of view. The
last chapter covers conversational analysis, which is a
more empirical approach to conversation. Levinson seems optimistic
that conversational analysis may yield important insights into the
other areas.

A natural language comprehension system implemented in the Soar
architecture that correctly predicts human comprehension time,
garden-path effects, and parsing breakdown (i.e., "grammatically
correct" sentences that considered unparsable by people).

greater detail.

"lexical access is semantically promiscuous -- it activates every
lexical item that has the right phonology, regardless of meaning."
