Abstract

This article presents the results of two experiments conducted to examine how ellipsis sites are processed during the processing of backward sluicing, which is superficially similar to non-sluicing wh-filler-gap dependencies. Previous studies on long-distance wh-filler-gap dependencies established that the processing of these dependencies is sensitive to the syntactic structure of materials within the dependency: CP vs. NP. Results from two maze experiments show that backward sluicing processing is sensitive to the same structural factors, confirming that the same processing mechanism underlies both constructions. We suggest that an active search mechanism is operating at the core for these structures and with the interaction of the ellipsis-specific mechanism, e.g., a word-by-word copying mechanism, the parser builds antecedent structure within the ellipsis site incrementally during the processing of backward sluicing.

EXPRESS:处理省略号时的增量结构构建。
本文介绍了两个实验的结果,这两个实验旨在研究省略点在倒装依存加工过程中是如何被处理的,倒装依存表面上与非倒装wh-filler-gap依存相似。以前对长距离wh-filler-gap依存关系的研究表明,这些依存关系的处理对依存关系中材料的句法结构很敏感:CP vs NP(Gibson & Warren, 2004; Keine, 2020)。两个迷宫实验的结果表明,后向滑动加工对相同的结构因素也很敏感,这证实了两种结构的基础是相同的加工机制。我们认为,这些结构的核心是一种主动搜索机制,在省略号特异性机制(如逐字复制机制(Murphy 1985))的相互作用下,解析器在处理后向贯通时会在省略号位置内逐步建立前因结构。

期刊介绍: Promoting the interests of scientific psychology and its researchers, QJEP, the journal of the Experimental Psychology Society, is a leading journal with a long-standing tradition of publishing cutting-edge research. Several articles have become classic papers in the fields of attention, perception, learning, memory, language, and reasoning. The journal publishes original articles on any topic within the field of experimental psychology (including comparative research). These include substantial experimental reports, review papers, rapid communications (reporting novel techniques or ground breaking results), comments (on articles previously published in QJEP or on issues of general interest to experimental psychologists), and book reviews. Experimental results are welcomed from all relevant techniques, including behavioural testing, brain imaging and computational modelling. QJEP offers a competitive publication time-scale. Accepted Rapid Communications have priority in the publication cycle and usually appear in print within three months. We aim to publish all accepted (but uncorrected) articles online within seven days. Our Latest Articles page offers immediate publication of articles upon reaching their final form. The journal offers an open access option called Open Select, enabling authors to meet funder requirements to make their article free to read online for all in perpetuity. Authors also benefit from a broad and diverse subscription base that delivers the journal contents to a world-wide readership. Together these features ensure that the journal offers authors the opportunity to raise the visibility of their work to a global audience.
