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.

Compared to other well-known baselines on pronominal anaphora resolution, the results obtained with ou...
