Two eye-movement experiments examined the processing of sentences containing reduced
relative constructions. In the first experiment, animacy of the sentential subject, structural …

Three eye-movement-monitoring experiments investigated processing of sentences
containing subject-relative and object-relative clauses. The first experiment showed that …

Abstract Ferreira and Clifton (1986, Experiment 1) found that readers experienced equal
difficulty with temporarily ambiguous reduced relatives clauses when the first noun was …

Subjects read sentences containing either a syntactically ambiguous prepositional phrase

experienced difficulty reading a noun phrase when it immediately followed an intransitive …

Different theories of human syntactic parsing make conflicting claims concerning the role of
non-syntactic information (eg semantics, real world knowledge) on on-line parsing. W e …

Models of parsing have explained this tendency by appealing either to a race in the …
