在句法理论中,“冻结”指的是这样一种想法,即一个成分被置于非规范位置,它的任何子成分都不能被提取出来(特里昨天看了一部关于什么的电影?)。这种例子的不可接受性,与没有外置的最小不同的句子相比,被认为是依赖形成的语法约束的结果,例如Ross(1967)冻结结构约束。在这里,我们认为,梯度模式的可接受性与这些例子更好地解释处理复杂性。从一个受控的可接受性任务的实验证据表明,总的处罚提取外的成分是可预测的,从总和的可接受性处罚独立链接到提取和外。由于先前的研究将这两种位移现象与增加的处理成本联系起来,我们得出结论,英语中的无界依赖语法不需要对这些情况进行解释的“冻结”约束。
In syntactic theory, “freezing” refers to the idea that a constituent extraposed to a noncanonical position is resistant to extraction of any of its subconstituents (What did Terry see a movie yesterday about———?). The unacceptability of such examples, compared to minimally different sentences without extraposition, has been claimed to be a result of a grammatical constraint on dependency formation, such as Ross's (1967) Frozen Structure Constraint. Here, we argue that the gradient pattern of acceptability associated with such examples is better explained in terms of processing complexity. Experimental evidence from a controlled acceptability task shows that the total penalty for extraction from extraposed constituents is predictable from the summed acceptability penalties independently linked to extraction and extraposition. As prior research links both of these displacement phenomena to increased processing costs, we conclude that a grammar of unbounded dependencies in English does not require a “freezing” constraint for the explanation of these cases.
