Investigating 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 ...
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...
متن کاملConstructing Filler-Gap Dependencies in Chinese Possessor Relative Clauses
This article explores the construction of filler-gap dependencies in Chinese possessor relative clauses (PRCs), which are different from typical relative clauses (RCs) considered in the literature because Chinese PRCs contain no overt missing arguments (i.e. gaps). As Chinese RCs are prenominal, the gaps precede the head noun fillers. It has been suggested that when the gaps are close to the fi...
متن کاملAn Active Gap Strategy in the Processing of Filler-Gap Dependencies in Chinese
This study investigates how filler-gap relations are processed on-line in Chinese, in constructions where the relation is driven by the gap rather than by the filler. The specific issue is whether there is an Active Gap Strategy analogous to the Active Filler Strategy that has been well-documented by data from English, Italian and other languages. Results of a self-paced word-by-word reading ex...
متن کاملEffects of Filler-gap Dependencies Working Memory Requirements for Parsing
Corpus studies by Schuler, AbdelRahman, Miller, and Schwartz (2010), appear to support a model of comprehension taking place in a general-purpose working memory store, by providing an existence proof that a simple probabilistic sequence model over stores of up to four syntacticallycontiguous memory elements has the capacity to reconstruct phrase structure trees for over 99.9% of the sentences i...
