Chinese relative clauses are an important test case for pitting the predictions of expectation-
based accounts against those of memory-based theories. The memory-based accounts …

The processing difficulty profile for relative clauses in Chinese, Japanese and Korean
represents a challenge for theories of human parsing. We address this challenge using a …

A consistent finding across head-initial languages, such as English, is that subject relative
clauses (SRCs) are easier to comprehend than object relative clauses (ORCs). However …

We used Chinese prenominal relative clauses (RC s) to test the predictions of two
competing accounts of sentence comprehension difficulty: the experience‐based account of …

The present study investigates the parsing of pre-nominal relative clauses (RCs) in children
for the first time with a real-time methodology that reveals moment-to-moment processing …

A core question in language acquisition is whether children's syntactic processing is
experience-dependent and language-specific, or whether it is governed by abstract …

This paper investigates the comprehension of relative clauses in Mandarin Chinese, where
noun phrases are head-final and both an object-relative advantage and a subject-relative …

The current study employed an eye-movement technique with an attempt to explore the
reading patterns for the two types of Chinese relative clauses, subject-extracted relative …

In experiments investigating sentence processing, eye movement measures such as fixation
durations and regression proportions while reading are commonly used to draw conclusions …

We present a comparative analysis of PP ordering in English and (Mandarin) Chinese, two
languages with distinct typological word order characteristics. Previous work on PP …
