This study investigated whether the sentence-final verb triggers optional/unforced reanalysis in the processing of relative clause (RC) association ambiguity in Japanese: RC N1-no N2 (i.e., local association (LA) or non-local association (non-LA)). Two off-line experiments were conducted to examine whether implicit causality (IC) between verbs in relative and matrix clauses triggers unforced reanalysis from LA, on the assumption of incremental parsing, to non-LA (both options are grammatical on the syntactic basis). Using the structures, RC N1-no N2 V (Experiment 1) and RC N1-no N2 AdvP V (Experiment 2), it was shown that LA was preferred in the no-IC (baseline) condition and that non-LA was observed more in the IC condition compared to no-IC. We argue that apparently optional reanalysis is triggered by implicit causality for intra-sentential semantic/discourse coherence, and discuss its theoretical implications for Revision/Reanalysis as Last Resort (Fodor & Frazier 1980). |
