The use of thematic role information in parsing: syntactic processing autonomy revisited

Article Abstract:

The processing of sentences with reduced relative constructions was examined in two eye-movement experiments with a view to testing the relevance of serial, depth-first models of parsing. Ambiguous effects due to syntactic reanalysis were noticed as also the absence of animacy by ambiguity interactions in early processing.
