Parallel Function Strategy in Pronoun Assignment
Grober, Ellen H.; And Others
Cognition, 6, 2, 117-33, Jun 78
Subjects completed sentences of the form NP1 aux V NP2 because (but) Pro...(e.g., John may scold Bill because he...) with a reason or motive for the action described. A basic perceptual strategy was hypothesized to underlie the comprehension of these sentences which have a potentially ambiguous pronoun in the subject position of the subordinate clause.
