Abstract

This chapter focuses on structural processing, and examines the role of underlying or canonical word order (or, more specifically, grammatical role order) on structural processing-something that is best done from a crosslinguistic perspective. Different languages have putatively different canonical word and grammatical role orders, allowing independent examination of the effects of such underlying facts about language on standard comprehension routines. This chapter focuses specifically on the structural processes involved in processing long-distance dependencies as found in filler gap constructions, and examines the moment-by-moment processes involved in the comprehension of such structures via on-line methodologies. Finally, it also examines methodological issues relevant to the on-line examination of structural processing as theory of experimental methodology is intimately tied to theory of mental process.
