Abstract

Relative clauses are not adjuncts: an experimental investigation of a corollary of the raising analyses. M. Vernice*, C. Cecchetto*, C. Donati^, V. Moscati° *University of Milan-Bicocca, ^Labex EFL/University Paris Diderot, °University of Siena ABSTRACT Relative clauses and more generally clauses modifying nouns have been at the center of a long debate in the last forty years, opposing largely diverging syntactic analyses, comparing relevant data and discussing perspectives. The aim of this paper is to contribute to this debate by adding novel experimental data on how these structures are processed in an online reading task. Two eye-tracking experiments were designed to investigate the temporal structural ambiguity that can arise between object relative clauses (object RCs
