两项评级研究表明，说英语的人愿意产生带有内因动词的简化关系(例如，在橡木桶中发酵的威士忌可以有一种木质味道)，并根据已知的影响歧义解决的因素来判断它们的可接受性，而不是根据内部原因和外部原因的区别。回归分析表明，被动使用频率预测语料库中的相对使用频率降低，但内部/外部原因状况不能。作者得出的结论是，与内因动词一起使用的简化关系很少见，因为这些动词很少出现在被动状态。这与McKoon和Ratcliff(McKoon，G.，&Ratcliff，R.(2003))中的主张形成了鲜明对比。通过句法表达的意义：语言理解和简化关系从句结构。心理学评论，110,490-525)认为，像马跑过谷仓坠落这样的简化关系是罕见的，当它们发生时，也是不可理解的，因为简化关系结构的含义禁止动词与内因事件模板一起使用。
Two rating studies demonstrate that English speakers willingly produce reduced relatives with internal cause verbs (e.g., Whisky fermented in oak barrels can have a woody taste), and judge their acceptability based on factors known to influence ambiguity resolution, rather than on the internal/external cause distinction. Regression analyses demonstrate that frequency of passive usage predicts reduced relative frequency in corpora, but internal/external cause status does not. The authors conclude that reduced relatives with internal cause verbs are rare because few of these verbs occur in the passive. This contrasts with the claim in McKoon and Ratcliff (McKoon, G., & Ratcliff, R. (2003). Meaning through syntax: Language comprehension and the reduced relative clause construction. Psychological Review, 110, 490–525) that reduced relatives like The horse raced past the barn fell are rare and, when they occur, incomprehensible, because the meaning of the reduced relative construction prohibits the use of a verb with an internal cause event template.
