Abstract Mitchell (1987) conducted a self-paced reading experiment that showed that people
experienced difficulty reading a noun phrase when it immediately followed an intransitive …

An eyetracking experiment was conducted to explore a self-paced reading effect reported by
Mitchell (1987). Mitchell found that a noun phrase (NP) was read slowly when it immediately …

We investigated whether readers use verb information to aid in their initial parsing of
temporarily ambiguous sentences. In the first experiment, subjects' eye movements were …

Subjects read sentences containing either a syntactically ambiguous prepositional phrase
attachment or a syntactically ambiguous reduced relative clause. The sentences were …

Three experiments were conducted to determine whether individual words can influence the
course of parsing in an on-line subject-paced reading task. The materials were sentences …

Two eyetracking experiments examined the reading of sentences like “While the police/truck
stopped the Datsun disappeared into the night.” A paper by L. Stowe (Thematic structures …

The parsing principle of minimal attachment predicts that a noun phrase occurring after
verbs such as “report” or “indicate” will first be assumed by readers to be the direct object of …

Using the single-word self-paced reading task, three experiments investigated parsing of
temporarily ambiguous sentences containing complement verbs. The verbs differed in the …

Recent work has shown that parsing processes can be influenced by detailed information
recovered from the lexicon (eg the subcategorisation class of verbs). However, it is not clear …

Carried out 2 S-paced reading experiments to examine the way in which discourse
information exerts its influence in sentence comprehension. The results show that whereas …
