We investigated the influence of globally ungrammatical local syntactic constraints on sentence comprehension, as well as the corresponding activation of global and local representations. In Experiment 1, participants viewed visual scenes with objects like acarouselandmotorbikewhile hearing sentences with noun phrase (NP) or verb phrase (VP) modifiers like “The girl who likes the man (from London/very much) will ride the carousel.” In both cases, “girl” and “ride” predictedcarouselas the direct object; however, the locally coherent combination “the man from London will ride…” in NP cases alternatively predictedmotorbike. During “ride,” local constraints, although ruled out by the global constraints, influenced prediction as strongly as global constraints: Whilemotorbikewas fixated less thancarouselin VP cases, it was fixated as much ascarouselin NP cases. In Experiment 2, these local constraints likewise slowed reading times. We discuss implications for theories of sentence processing.
