本研究旨在检验两个关于间隔在线加工的假设：是否句法分析器在某些协调结构中以增量方式插入省略位点（增量省略假设），或者省略是否是一个迟来的和不被提及的选项（省略是最后的手段假设）。我们采用了两个离线可接受性评级实验和一个句子片段完成实验来研究Gapping的分布在多大程度上受语法和语法外约束的控制。此外，眼动跟踪，而阅读实验表明，分析器插入一个省略网站递增，但只有当语法和语法外的限制允许插入的省略网站。这项研究表明，增量建设的间隙结构如下从分析器的一般偏好，以保持结构的两个合取最大限度地平行的协调结构，以及从语法限制的间隙分布，如协调约束。
This study aims to test two hypotheses about the online processing of Gapping: whether the parser inserts an ellipsis site in an incremental fashion in certain coordinated structures (the Incremental Ellipsis Hypothesis), or whether ellipsis is a late and dispreferred option (the Ellipsis as a Last Resort Hypothesis). We employ two offline acceptability rating experiments and a sentence fragment completion experiment to investigate to what extent the distribution of Gapping is controlled by grammatical and extra-grammatical constraints. Furthermore, an eye-tracking while reading experiment demonstrated that the parser inserts an ellipsis site incrementally but only when grammatical and extra-grammatical constraints allow for the insertion of the ellipsis site. This study shows that incremental building of the Gapping structure follows from the parser's general preference to keep the structure of the two conjuncts maximally parallel in a coordination structure as well as from grammatical restrictions on the distribution of Gapping such as the Coordination Constraint.
