The processing of subject and object relative clauses in Spanish: an eye-tracking study.

Moisés Betancort¹, Manuel Carreiras, Patrick Sturt.

Abstract

A normative study and an eye-tracking experiment investigated the influence of animacy on the processing of subject and object relative clauses in Spanish. The results showed that object relative clauses caused more difficulty than subject relative clauses, but that animacy modulated this preference. The overall pattern was similar to findings in other languages. However, because of the syntactic characteristics of Spanish relative clauses, the results give novel insights into the processing mechanisms that underlie relative clause processing.
