| Abstract(in English) | Two experiments are presented. The first, a self-paced listening study, shows that when arguments precede verbs in a sentence, increasing argument-head results in processing difficulty due to decay of arguments in memory, and not due to a greater number of intervening discourse referents, as claimed, e. g., by Discourse Locality Theory. The second study, a self-paced reading experiment, shows that the widely-held belief, due originally to Miller and Chomsky, that clause-similarity renders processing difficult in center embeddings, is not generally correct. The implications of these findings are discussed. |
