MINIMALISM: A HEDGED ANALYSIS OF RESTRICTED INFERENCE PROCESSING
Commentary on Garnham and on Glenberg & Mathew on Reading-Inference

Abstract

In their articles Garnham (1992) and Glenberg and Mathew (1992) agreed that a constructionist/mental-model approach provides a comprehensive framework for the analysis of discourse inference processes and that constructionist analysis does not entail "complete" global representations. The minimal inference hypothesis has several flaws and difficult to properly evaluate. Because of information processing constraints, a better theory of restricted inference processing is warranted.
