Twenty-four Ss rated the comprehensibility and acceptability of English sentences with either the subject noun or the main verb deleted. Twenty-four different Ss guessed the word missing from those sentences and rated their confidence in their guesses. The three different ratings resulted in comprehensibility, acceptability, and corrigibility scores for each sentence. Sentences with the verb deleted had lower acceptability scores and fewer word location errors than did sentences with the noun deleted, but were judged as comprehensible as sentences with the noun missing. Attempts to explain this latter finding were based on the observed significant correlation between sentence comprehensibility and corrigibility.
