Direct Association and Sentence Processing: A Reply to Gorrell and to Gibson and Hickok.

Pickering, Martin

Language and Cognitive Processes, v8 n2 p163-96 May 1993

Papers by Gorrell and by Gibson and Hickok question Pickering and Barry's (PB) arguments against empty categories in sentence processing. This reply disputes Gorrell's claims that PB's interpretation of the data is inadequate and, in agreement with Gibson and Hickok, reinforces the arguments that the gap location is irrelevant to the formation of an unbounded dependency.
