遇到一个后指代词触发了对一个合适的所指的搜索。先前的研究表明，这种搜索受到约束条件C的限制，它禁止在其C-命令域中的后指代词和指称表达之间的共指。我们报告的结果，从一系列的眼动监测和问卷调查的实验研究德语后指代词解决。鉴于早期的研究结果表明，参考分辨率的结构敏感的限制的应用程序可能会延迟在非母语处理，我们测试了母语和熟练的非母语德语。我们的研究结果表明，后指代词触发积极的搜索，在本族语和非本族语的求职者。虽然这两个参与者组表现出意识的条件C在离线任务，我们发现条件C的影响被限制到后来的处理措施在网上阅读。这表明在自然阅读期间，条件C作为潜在共指分配的相对较晚的过滤器而应用。
Encountering a cataphoric pronoun triggers a search for a suitable referent. Previous research indicates that this search is constrained by binding Condition C, which prohibits coreference between a cataphoric pronoun and a referential expression within its c-command domain. We report the results from a series of eye-movement monitoring and questionnaire experiments investigating cataphoric pronoun resolution in German. Given earlier findings suggesting that the application of structure-sensitive constraints on reference resolution may be delayed in non-native language processing, we tested both native and proficient non-native speakers of German. Our results show that cataphoric pronouns trigger an active search in both native and non-native comprehenders. Whilst both participant groups demonstrated awareness of Condition C in an offline task, we found Condition C effects to be restricted to later processing measures during online reading. This indicates that during natural reading, Condition C applies as a relatively late filter on potential coreference assignments.
