In Japanese sentence processing, Miyamoto and Takahashi (2002, 2004) showed that the [NOM>DAT>ACC] order is easier to process than the [NOM>ACC>DAT] order, and argued that the filler-gap dependencies which is driven by the case markers can explain the processing difficulty of scrambled ditransitives. On the other hand, Sakai et al. (2009) showed that the animacy has also impact on the processing of ditransitives in Japanese. Yet, it is unknown whether case markers and animacy affect the processing of ditransitive sentences and their word order alternations in other languages as well. In the present study, by manipulating the animacy of DAT-noun in Turkish, we first investigated how ditransitive sentences are processed through two self-paced reading experiments. We then evaluated whether the case markers and animacy affect the processing of ditransitives and their word order alternations in Turkish. The results of Experiment1 showed that when the DAT-noun was animate, the participants read the [NOM>DAT>ACC] order faster than that of the [NOM>ACC>DAT]. This result is consistent with Miyamoto and Takahashi’s, and the filler-gap dependency can account for. On the other hand, when the DAT-noun was inanimate, the [NOM>ACC>DAT] order was read faster than the [NOM>DAT>ACC] order. This result cannot be accounted for by the case driven filler-gap dependencies. Overall, our study indicates that semantic factors such as animacy also have an impact on the processing of ditransitive sentences in Turkish. |
