作者报告了6个自定进度的逐字阅读研究，研究了在代词的在线解释过程中，形态句法一致性、焦点状态和约束理论的结构约束如何应用和相互作用（例如，他，她）和照应词（例如，自己，彼此）。以前的研究认为，结构条件的共指工作的解释过滤器，施加无例外的限制，先行候选人可以评估随后的，基于内容的过程。相反，这些实验支持一个互动的并行约束模型，其中多个加权约束（包括约束约束）同时影响净激活的候选人在预选阶段的先行评价。因此，结构上不可接近的候选词如果既在焦点结构上突出，又与代词或回指语的性数一致，就会干扰先行词的选择。
The authors report 6 self-paced word-by-word reading studies of how morphosyntactic agreement, focus status, and the structural constraints of binding theory apply and interact during the online interpretation of pronouns (e.g., him, her) and anaphors (e.g., himself, each other). Previous studies held that structural conditions on coreference work as interpretive filters, that impose exceptionless limits on which antecedent candidates can be evaluated by subsequent, content-based processes. These experiments instead support an interactive-parallel-constraint model, in which multiple weighted constraints (including constraints on binding) simultaneously influence the net activation of a candidate during preselection stages of antecedent evaluation. Accordingly, structurally inaccessible candidates can interfere with antecedent selection if they are both prominent in focus structure and gender-number compatible with the pronoun or anaphor.
