在心理语言学文献中，对wh-dependencies的岛屿限制有相当大的争议。一个主要的争论点是岛屿是否来自加工限制，如工作记忆容量或特定领域的语言知识。目前的研究调查是否可以减少岛屿处理的考虑，通过检查处理的另一个长距离的依赖，下指。如果许可成分（动词或介词）落在一个岛内的wh依赖关系会给解析器带来无法承受的内存负荷，那么其他依赖关系，包括前指，如果许可成分（先行词）落在一个岛内，应该会产生类似的处理困难。自定进度的阅读实验结果表明，网络条件下下的后指依赖的形成不受孤岛限制的影响。我们的结论是，岛屿不能完全还原到处理的考虑，因此必须-至少部分-是语法的起源。
There is considerable controversy on island constraints on wh-dependencies in the psycholinguistic literature. One major point of contention is whether islands result from processing limitations such as working memory capacity or from domain-specific linguistic knowledge. The current study investigates whether islands can be reduced to processing considerations, by examining processing of another long-distance dependency, cataphora. If wh-dependencies with the licensing element (the verb or preposition) falling inside an island entail an unbearable memory load on the parser, then other dependencies, including cataphora, with a licensing element (the antecedent), falling inside an island, should yield a similar processing difficulty. The results from a self-paced reading experiment demonstrate that online formation of a cataphoric dependency is not affected by island constraints. We conclude that islands are not fully reducible to processing considerations and therefore must – at least in part – be of grammatical origin.
