The effects of phrase-length order and scrambling in the processing of visually presented Japanese sentences.
The present study investigated the effects of phrase length and scrambling in the processing of Japanese sentences. Reading times of short phrases, long phrases, verbs, and whole sentences, measured by the method of self-paced reading, did not differ in terms of phrase-length order and scrambling. In addition, four types of sentences constructed on the basis of phrase-length order and scramblin...
متن کاملDo Heavy-NP Shift Phenomenon and Constituent Ordering in English Cause Sentence Processing Difficulty for EFL Learners?
Heavy-NP shift occurs when speakers prefer placing lengthy or “heavy” noun phrase direct objects in the clause-final position within a sentence rather than in the post-verbal position. Two experiments were conducted in this study, and their results suggested that having a long noun phrase affected the ordering of constituents (the noun phrase and prepositional phrase) by advanced Iranian EFL le...
متن کاملAntecedent priming at trace positions in Japanese long-distance scrambling.
We report the results from three cross-modal lexical decision experiments investigating antecedent priming effects in Japanese. In the first two experiments we examined antecedent reactivation at the preverbal trace position in long-distance scrambling sentences. We found an interaction between the participants' working memory (WM) span and antecedent priming. For the high span group, the magni...
متن کاملPre- and post-head processing for single- and double-scrambled sentences of a head-final language as measured by the eye tracking method.
Using the eye-tracking method, the present study depicted pre- and post-head processing for simple scrambled sentences of head-final languages. Three versions of simple Japanese active sentences with ditransitive verbs were used: namely, (1) SO₁O₂V canonical, (2) SO₂O₁V single-scrambled, and (3) O₁O₂SV double-scrambled order. First pass reading times indicated that the third noun phrase just be...
متن کاملScrambling and Processing: Dependencies, Complexity, and Constraints
Two approaches characterize the current state of research in sentence processing. Both approaches aim to arrive at a well-grounded analysis of relevant constraints the construction is subject to. The first approach relies heavily on the hypothesis that a psycholinguistic investigation of a phenomenon can shed the light on some unresolved linguistic problem. The second approach advocated by cogn...
