2022, CognitionCitation Excerpt :This too can be described in terms of person-based prominence: It is always the higher-ranked proximate category that sits in the syntactically prominent subject position. A major task in language comprehension is to link nouns to syntactic positions and assign them thematic roles (Bornkessel-Schlesewsky & Schlesewsky, 2009; Ferreira, 2003; MacWhinney, Bates, & Kliegl, 1984). These linkages are particularly important in filler-gap dependencies such as those formed by relative clause (RC) structures, where a noun is not located in its canonical position.
