| Abstract(in English) | This study investigated preferences for relative-clause attachments in processing the complex NP, such as "the teacher of/with the student who was singing a song" by using the eye-tracking technique with Japanese learners of English at different proficiency levels and native speakers of English as participants. The individual participants' reading spans were also measured. The analyses for the initial and regressive eye movements indicated a possible influence of different working memory capacity, which was reflected in the reading-span scores, on the attachment decisions in the native speakers but not in the non-native speakers. |
