许多研究表明，动词终态语言的使用者能够在动词信息之前构建丰富的句法表征。这可能反映了语言处理器的一般体系结构属性，或者它可能仅反映了对动词终结性要求的特定于语言的适应。本研究通过检查动词中间语言（英语）的使用者是否在构建填充间隙依赖之前等待查阅动词及物性信息来解决这个问题，其中内部参数位于前面，因此位于动词之前。这种配置使得可以在动词及物性信息可用之前调查解析器是否主动对间隙位置做出表征承诺。丰富的前动词结构构建是一种普遍的体系结构属性这一观点的一个关键预测是，动词中间语言的使用者应该在动词及物性信息之前预测性地构建依赖关系，因此，当动词具有与预测结构不兼容的不及物子分类框架时，应该观察到这种破坏。在三个操纵动词及物性的阅读实验（自定进度和眼球追踪）中，我们发现了动词不及物时阅读中断的证据，尽管当关键动词嵌入句法岛结构中时没有观察到这种阅读困难，这会阻止填充间隙依赖性完成。这些结果与以下假设一致：在英语中，就像在动词结尾语言中一样，来自动词前名词短语的信息足以触发主动依存完成，而无需访问动词及物性信息。
Much work has demonstrated that speakers of verb-final languages are able to construct rich syntactic representations in advance of verb information. This may reflect general architectural properties of the language processor, or it may only reflect a language-specific adaptation to the demands of verb-finality. The present study addresses this issue by examining whether speakers of a verb-medial language (English) wait to consult verb transitivity information before constructing filler-gap dependencies, where internal arguments are fronted and hence precede the verb. This configuration makes it possible to investigate whether the parser actively makes representational commitments on the gap position before verb transitivity information becomes available. A key prediction of the view that rich pre-verbal structure building is a general architectural property is that speakers of verb-medial languages should predictively construct dependencies in advance of verb transitivity information, and therefore that disruption should be observed when the verb has intransitive subcategorization frames that are incompatible with the predicted structure. In three reading experiments (self-paced and eye-tracking) that manipulated verb transitivity, we found evidence for reading disruption when the verb was intransitive, although no such reading difficulty was observed when the critical verb was embedded inside a syntactic island structure, which blocks filler-gap dependency completion. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that in English, as in verb-final languages, information from preverbal noun phrases is sufficient to trigger active dependency completion without having access to verb transitivity information.
