The disambiguation of a syntactically ambiguous sentence in favor less preferred parse can lead to slower reading at the point. This phenomenon, referred as garden-path effect, has motivated models which readers initially maintain only subset possible parses sentence, and subsequently require time-consuming reanalysis reconstruct discarded parse.

Bögel et al. (2009) outlined a new architecture for modeling the interaction between prosody and syntax: we proposed an arrangement of interacting components in which prosodic information is developed in a module that operates independently of the syntax while still allowing for syntactic rules and preferences to be conditioned on prosodic boundaries and other features. This architecture allows...
