This reply disputes Gorrell's claims that PB's interpretation of the data is inadequate and, in agreement with Gibson and Hickok, reinforces the arguments that the gap location is irrelevant to the formation of…

Seven experiments using self-paced reading and eyetracking suggest that omitting the middle verb in a double centre embedding leads to easier processing in English but leads to greater difficulty in German. One commonly accepted explanation for the English pattern--based on data from offline acceptability ratings and due to Gibson and Thomas…

Ueno, Mieko; Garnsey, Susan M. – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2008
Using reading times and event-related brain potentials (ERPs), we investigated the processing of Japanese subject and object relative clauses (SRs/ORs). Previous research on English relative clauses shows that ORs take longer to read (King & Just, 1991) and elicit anterior negativity between fillers and gaps (King & Kutas, 1995), which is…
