This paper presents experimental evidence for a model of human language processing in which ambiguity resolution is delayed when there is a conflict between semantic contextual bias and the syntactically preferred interpretation. If there is no conflict, an immediate decision is made. Decision is not delayed indefinitely; the length of the delay is limited by available processing resources.
