In an ambiguity detection task, subjects judged whether the final words of visually displayed sentences were homographs or nonhomographs. Detection of homographs was faster when the sentence was related to a less frequent (secondary) meaning of the homograph. According to the "ordered access" model of ambiguity processing (T. W. Hogaboam & C. A. Perfetti, 1975. Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 14.265-274), this advantage occurs because the mismatch between the context and the initially retrieved (primary) meaning allows the subject to circumvent further memory search. However, the advantage of a secondary-sense context was maintained under conditions in which such a mismatch could not be assumed by the subject to indicate a homograph. The results support a hybrid model of ambiguity processing in which meanings are retrieved in parallel, but with retrieval latency for each meaning dependent on both context and relative meaning frequency.
