Repeated Names, Overt Pronouns, and Null Pronouns in Spanish.
In two self-paced, sentence-by-sentence reading experiments we examined the difference in the processing of Spanish discourses with repeated names, overt pronouns, and null pronouns in emphatic and non-emphatic contexts.

When this model is combined with a measure of accessibility in discourse and a processing time limit imposed by the speed of natural langu...
