本文研究了句子处理过程中句法结构的预测，使用了暂时允许英语中的冲销式解释的结构。利用冲刷和代词解释的两个广为人知的性质--连接性效应和反身代词的局部先行要求--我们证明：(1)当冲刷是可能的时，句法分析器选择一个冲刷结构；(2)句法分析器为冲刷设定的结构包含详细的层级句法结构。一项自定节奏的阅读实验和三项离线实验(两项可接受性评级研究和一项句子补全研究)发现，读者立即试图将嵌入wh-短语中的反身代词与前一从句中的潜在先行语联系起来。然而，只有当冲刷结构可能是句子的延续时，才会产生这种联系。这一发现表明，当语法上允许的时候，读者积极地期待着一个冲刷结构，并且这个结构足够详细，可以许可反身性约束。这一结果增加了越来越多的证据，即理解者对即将到来的语言结构做出详细的预测。
This paper investigates the prediction of syntactic structure during sentence processing, using constructions that temporarily allow a sluicing interpretation in English. Making use of two well-known properties of sluicing and pronoun interpretation—connectivity effects and the local antecedent requirement on reflexives, respectively—we show that (1) the parser chooses a sluicing structure over other possible structures when sluicing is a possibility, and (2) the structure which the parser posits for sluicing involves detailed hierarchical syntactic structure. A self-paced reading experiment and three offline experiments (two acceptability rating studies and a sentence completion study) find evidence that readers immediately try to associate a reflexive pronoun embedded inside a wh-phrase with a potential antecedent in the preceding clause. However, this association is made only if a sluicing structure is a possible continuation of the sentence. This finding suggests that readers actively anticipated a sluicing structure when it was grammatically permissible, and that this structure is sufficiently detailed to license reflexive binding. This result adds to the increasing evidence that comprehenders make detailed predictions regarding upcoming linguistic structure.
