I. Recent psycholinguistic theories of sentence processing strongly imply a serial processing model, where higher-level analyses develop toward the end of the clause [see J. A. Fodor, T. G. Bever, M. F. Garrett, The Psychology of Language (McGrawHill, New York, 1974)]. The most explicit serial model is found in G. A. Miller, IRE Trans. Inform. Theory IT-8, 81 (1962). 2.
