The question of whether there exists a universal subject preference in relativization has
stimulated research in a wide range of languages and across different domains, yielding an …

A major goal of psycholinguistics is to gain a better understanding of how syntactically
complex sentences are processed. Pursuit of this goal has frequently focused on the …

Studies from many languages consistently report that subject relative clauses (SR) are
easier to process than object relatives (OR). However, Hsiao and Gibson (2003) report an …

Bilinguals demonstrate benefits on non-linguistic tasks requiring cognitive control—the
regulation of mental activity to resolve information-conflict during processing. This “bilingual …

We report results from two eye-movement experiments that examined how differences in
working memory (WM) capacity affect readers' application of structural constraints on …

There remains some debate about whether beta power effects observed during sentence
comprehension reflect ongoing syntactic unification operations (beta‐syntax hypothesis), or …

As written language contains more complex syntax than spoken language, exposure to
written language provides opportunities for children to experience language input different …

Researchers using different methods have converged on the result that subject relative
clauses are easier to process than object relative clauses. Cross-linguistic evidence for the …

Contradictory results have been found in Chinese as to whether subject relative clauses are
easier to process than object relative clauses. One major disagreement concerns the region …

Previous research has shown L1 attrition to be restricted to structures at the interfaces
between syntax and pragmatics, but not to occur with syntactic properties that do not involve …
