Delayed Aspectual Computation in Japanese
An experimental study of the adjacency constraint on the genitive subject in Japanese
We present the results of two acceptability judgment and three self-paced reading experiments exploring the source of degradation effects on the acceptability of genitive subjects caused by having them not adjacent to the verb. From a syntactic perspective, Miyagawa (2011) attributes this adjacency constraint to his assumption that the genitive subject is situated in Spec-vP, lower than adverbials adjoined to vP or higher. This theory thus predic…
Distinguishing theories of syntactic expectation cost in sentence comprehension
Previous research in the sentence comprehension literature has established that people expend resources keeping track of partially processed phrase structures during the process of comprehending sentences. An open question in this literature has been what units of syntactic expectation cost the human parser utilizes. Two viable options from the literature are (1) incomplete syntactic dependencies; and (2) predicted syntactic heads. This article p…
Processing Complexity of Complex Predicates
Complex predicates, by definition, behave like representationally ‘‘reduced’’ predicates, as extensively discussed in the syntax literature. This article reports the results from an experimental study using a type of complex predicate in Japanese (the V-te V predicate), testing how people process this type of complex ‘‘restructured’’ predicate in real time. Because of the properties of the V-te V predicate, it was possible to compare restructured…
