两项问卷调查和三个在线实验被进行，试图确定是否是一个句法分析策略，这是广泛使用的英语（晚关闭策略）只是代表一个任意选择的过程，还是它可能已经成为一个相对稳定的功能，因为它赋予读者或听者真实的信息处理的优势。实验1A表明，西班牙语读者显然不使用晚关闭策略来解释特定类型的句子。然而，对于可比较的材料，英语阅读者确实使用这种策略（实验1B）。实验2、3和4表明，结构选择是在被试实际阅读句子时做出的。研究结果表明，延迟关闭策略是有利的（英语），主要是因为它是有效的信息处理方面的建议提出质疑。不同的语言可能以一种本质上任意的方式使用解析策略。人类分析的一般理论的影响进行了讨论。
Two questionnaire studies and three on-line experiments were carried out in an attempt to determine whether a parsing strategy which is widely used in English (the Late Closure strategy) simply represents an arbitrarily chosen procedure or whether it is likely to have become a relatively stable feature of the parsing routine because it confers real information processing advantages on the reader or listener. Experiment 1A showed that Spanish readers apparently do not use the Late Closure strategy to interpret a particular type of sentence. With comparable materials, however, English readers do use this strategy (Experiment 1B). Experiments 2, 3 and 4 showed that the structural choices were made while the subjects were actually reading the sentence. The results throw doubt on the suggestion that the Late Closure strategy is favoured (in English) mainly because it is efficient in information processing terms. It may be that different languages make use of parsing strategies in an essentially arbitrary way. Implications for general theories of human parsing are discussed.
