| Abstract(in English) | Staub et al. (2018) argued that comprehenders do not create unforced dependencies by considering relative clause continuations in sentences like “The announcement that the president is considering…” when the initial noun phrase (e.g., “announcement”) can take a nominal complement clause, even when the relative clause continuation is more likely. We conducted a sentence completion study and self-paced reading time studies to replicate experiments 2 and 3 in Staub et al. and contrast their items with an alternate set of items consisting of the same initial noun + that + noun sequence, but a different verb. We found that when the alternate verb provided a better thematic fit with the two NPs, comprehenders did make the relative clause interpretation. |
