The RC can be associated with servant (the high noun in the tree structure) or actress (the low noun). Average preferences have been shown to vary across languages. For example, native speakers of English preferentially attach the RC to the low noun, whereas speakers of Dutch, French, Spanish among other languages prefer the high noun (Brysbaert & Mitchell, 1996; Cuetos & Mitchell, 1988; Zagar, Pynte & Rativeau, 1997; see http://www.lingua.tsukuba.ac.jp/etm/rc, for a more comprehensive list of languages tested). The high preference in various languages goes against a large literature on locality preferences according to which the closest candidate site to the phrase being attached is favored (e.g., Frazier, 1987; Gibson, 1998; Kimball, 1973). Thus, RC attachment has been used to investigate how the processing mechanism interacts with different grammars, in particular, how locality preferences are modulated by grammatical parameterizations. (See Table 1 for a partial list of proposals.) However, most studies thus far have dealt with European languages, and therefore their scope is often limited to postnominal RCs. Results on prenominal RCs in Japanese have been contradictory. When shown ambiguous RCs that allow both interpretations (as in (2) from Kamide & Mitchell, 1997, Experiment 1), Japanese readers prefer the high noun (see also Hirose, 2001).
