许多关于英语加工的研究报告说，动词信息在处理句子的其余部分（例如，Boland & Tanenhaus，1991）。日语是主谓宾结构的语言，中心语是一种语言，存在混叠现象和音系上的空代词。动词信息只有在小句的末尾才能得到，这一事实使人们不禁要问，在日语的在线处理中是否可以利用其他类型的信息。本研究探讨了词序和格标记是否起作用。总的来说，没有观察到词序的影响，即使混乱的句子的频率很低。实验1没有发现额外的处理负荷处理混乱的句子。在实验2中，词序对句法分析者在计算动词前的句法结构时的决策没有影响。从另一方面来说。实验3发现，分析器对大小写参数的变化很敏感。三个实验的结果在日语语前句法加工阶段更符合非构形结构，而不是构形结构。
Many studies in processing English report that verb information plays a significant role in processing the rest of the sentence (e.g., Boland & Tanenhaus, 1991). Japanese is subject-object-verb (SOV), head-final language with the phenomena of scrambling and phonologically null pronouns. The fact that verb information does not become available until the end of a clause leads one to ask whether other types of information may be utilized in the on-line processing of Japanese. The current study investigated whether word order and case markers play a role. Overall, no effect of word order was observed, even though the frequency of the scrambled sentences was low. Experiment 1 found no extra processing load in processing scrambled sentences. In Experiment 2, no effect of word order was found in the parser's decision making in computing a syntactic structure prior to the verb. On the other hand. Experiment 3 found that the parser was sensitive to the variety of case-marked arguments. The results of the three experiments are more congruent with the nonconfigurational structure than with the configurational structure at the stage of preverbal syntactic processing in Japanese.
