Real-time resolution of VP ellipsis ambiguity and processing depth
In the VP ellipsis sentence “Bill liked himself, and John did too,” the second conjunct “John did too” can be interpreted in two ways: either as “John liked Bill too” (strict interpretation) or “John liked himself too” (sloppy interpretation). Previous research has yielded inconclusive findings regarding which interpretation is preferred during real-time sentence processing. To investigate potential causes of these mixed findings, we conducted th…
Formal computational modelling in second language sentence processing research
Various theories have been proposed in the field of second language (L2) sentence processing research and have significantly advanced our understanding of the mechanisms underlying L2 sentence interpretation processes. However, many existing theories have only been formulated verbally, and little progress has been made towards formal modelling. Formal modelling offers several advantages, including enhancing the clarity and verifiability of theore…
Gender attraction in sentence comprehension
Agreement attraction, where ungrammatical sentences are perceived as grammatical (e.g., *The key to the cabinets were rusty), has been influential in motivating models of memory access during language comprehension. It is contested, however, whether such effects arise due to a faulty representation of relevant morphosyntactic features, or as a result of memory retrieval. Existing studies of agreement attraction in comprehension have largely been …
Reanalysis processes in non-native sentence comprehension
We report two offline and two eye-movement experiments examining non-native (L2) sentence processing during and after reanalysis of temporarily ambiguous sentences like “While Mary dressed the baby laughed happily”. Such sentences cause reanalysis at the main clause verb (“laughed”), as the temporarily ambiguous noun phrase (“the baby”) may initially be misanalysed as the direct object of the subordinate clause verb (“dressed”). The offline exper…
Similarity-based interference and relative clauses in second language processing
Relative clauses have long been examined in research on first (L1) and second (L2) language acquisition and processing, and a large body of research has shown that object relative clauses (e.g. ‘The boy that the girl saw’) are more difficult to process than subject relative clauses (e.g. ‘The boy that saw the girl’). Although there are different accounts of this finding, memory-based factors have been argued to play a role in explaining the objec…
Reanalysis and lingering misinterpretation of linguistic dependencies in native and non-native sentence comprehension
