Locality preferences in sentence processing differ between production and perception. While off-line data suggest integration costs, on-line experiments show heads are anticipated during perception, not just locality.

Area of Science:

  • Psycholinguistics
  • Computational Linguistics
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Sentence processing research investigates how humans interpret sentences in real-time.
  • Locality constraints, which favor processing syntactically closer elements, are a key area of study.
  • German verb-final sentences with relative clauses provide a unique testing ground for locality effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate locality-based preferences in sentence processing.
  • To compare off-line and on-line experimental data regarding locality.
  • To determine the role of locality in sentence production versus perception.

Main Methods:

  • An off-line acceptability judgment study was conducted.
  • An on-line self-paced reading experiment was performed.

  • German verb-final sentences with host-adjacent and extraposed relative clauses were used.

    • Main Results:

    • Off-line data indicated locality-based integration costs.
    • On-line data revealed a different pattern, challenging simple locality effects.
    • The findings suggest locality plays a role in sentence production.

    Conclusions:

    • Locality is more relevant for sentence production than perception in these constructions.
    • During perception, readers anticipate upcoming heads through incremental integration.
    • The study highlights the distinction between production and perception mechanisms in language processing.
