| Abstract | (in Japanese) | (See Japanese page) |
| (in English) | Roland et al. (2007, 2008) argued that the processing load asymmetry between object and subject relative clauses (ORCs/SRCs) arose from discourse factors rather than structural factors. According to Fox and Thompson (1991), the discourse function of ORCs is to anchor a newly introduced noun to the context. The lack of appropriate context thus makes the processing of ORCs more difficult than that of SRCs. We conducted a self-paced reading experiment using Japanese relative clauses and observed that anchoring to the context resolved the processing asymmetry between ORCs and SRCs. The result thus provides another support for the discourse function account. | |
