RUNNING HEAD: Island Constraints in Second Language Processing Filler-gap Dependencies and Island Constraints in Second Language Sentence Processing
Island Constraints in Second Language Processing 2 Abstract Second language (L2) processing may differ from processing in a native language in a variety of ways, and it has been argued that one major difference is that L2 learners can only construct shallow representations that lack structural details (Clahsen & Felser, 2006). The present study challenges this hypothesis by comparing the extent...
متن کاملFiller-Gap Dependencies in the Processing of Scrambling in Japanese
When reading a sentence, people do not have access to all its words at once, instead they process each word in turn as it is read (or heard) off the input string. Furthermore, readers do not wait for the last word of the sentence in order to start the process of understanding the meaning of the sentence (Marslen-Wilson & Tyler 1980, with references therein). Sentences are parsed incrementally a...

Second-language (L2) sentence processing may differ from processing in a native language in a variety of ways, and it has been argued that one major difference is that L2 learners can only construct shallow representations that lack structural details (e.g., Clahsen & Felser, 2006 ).

متن کاملSecond Language Processing of Filler-Gap Dependencies: Evidence for the Role of Lexical Access
Sentences that involve direct and indirect object relative clauses contain displaced syntactic constituents (or fillers) that do not appear in their canonical object position following the verb. During real-time comprehension, when the head of such a relative clause is encountered, it has been argued that the human sentence processing mechanism will automatically project a syntactic structure t...
متن کاملInvestigating Filler-Gap Dependencies in Chinese Topicalization
The present study explored the on-line process of constructing filler-gap dependencies in Chinese topic structures. In a topic structure, extracting the topic from within a sentence is subject to locality constraints; for instance, gaps inside islands such as adverbial clauses are prohibited. Interestingly, similar to the parasitic gap (PG) construction in English, a gap in an adverbial clause ...
