Monitoring around the Relative Clause.
Fraunfelder, U.; And Others – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1980
The validity of using phoneme monitoring techniques to measure syntactic processing in French was validated by two experiments. Significant differences in the reaction times of 80 French-speaking academic professionals to phonemes immediately following reversible subject relative clauses and those following object relative clauses demonstrate the…

Effects of Context of Reaction Time to Phonemes.
Mills, Carol Bergfeld – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1980
Reports two experiments which support the hypothesis that reaction time is faster to phonemes when the phonetic context matches the listener's expectation than when the vowel context is different. Reaction time to syllable targets is equal to phoneme, matched context targets. (PMJ)
