AB A central concern in the study of sentence comprehension has to do with defining the role thatgrammatical information plays during the incremental interpretation of language. In order tosuccessfully achieve the complex task of understanding a linguistic message, the languagecomprehension system (the parser) must – among other things – be able to resolve the widevariety of relations that are established between the different parts of a sentence. These relationsare known as linguistic dependencies. Linguistic dependencies are subject to a diverse range ofgrammatical constraints (e.g. syntactic, morphological, lexical, etc.), and how these constraintsare implemented in real-time comprehension is one of the fundamental questions inpsycholinguistic research. In this quest, the focus has been often placed on studying thesensitivity that language users exhibit to grammatical contrasts during sentence processing. Thegrammatical richness with which the parser seems to operate makes it even more interestingwhen the results of sentence processing do not converge with the constraints of the grammar.Misalignments between grammar and parsing provide a unique window into the principles thatguide language comprehension, and their study has generated a fruitful research program.
