Peer reviewedUlijn, Jan M.; Strother, Judith B. – Journal of Research in Reading, 1990
Determines that the complexity of syntax does not significantly affect reading comprehension of native and non-native English speakers when reading technical writing. Finds no significant differences between subgroups reading an authentic computer science text and those reading a syntactically adapted text, either in comprehension or in speed. (MG)
