本文提出了两个调查表实验，这些实验研究了日语中各种嵌套结构的处理复杂性，第一个实验表明，在最嵌入的子句中包含直接对象NP的嵌入式结构比在最复杂最嵌入的子句。第二个实验表明，由嵌入句子补体中的相对子句组成的构造不如反向嵌入的构造复杂，该嵌入量嵌入了相对子句中。这些结果是根据句法预测的位置理论讨论的（Gibson 1998）。
This article presents two questionnaire experiments that investigate the processing complexity of a variety of nested constructions in Japanese, The first experiment demonstrated that embedded structures containing a direct object NP in the most embedded clause were more complex than comparable nested structures that lacked an object NP in the most embedded clause. The second experiment demonstrated that a construction consisting of a relative clause embedded within a sentential complement is less complex than the reverse embedding, consisting of sentential complement embedded within a relative clause. These results are discussed in terms of the syntactic prediction locality theory (Gibson 1998).*
