This paper examines the syntactic processing of structural ambiguities in German verb second (V2) cluses. It is argued that the proposal of Grimshaw (1991, 1993) that CP and IP are verbal "extended projections" allows an incremental parse of these ambiguities which is consistent withthe principles of simplicity (no vacuos structure builllding) and structural determinism (computed dominance and precedence relations cnanot be altered by parser-internal operations) proposed in Gorrell (1995). It is argued that the ambiguities discussed here provide evidence againts the hypothesis that the parser's initial attachment decisions follow from a maximal-licensing principle rather than a preference for minimal structure (Pritchett, 1992). Further, it is argued that, contra Fodor and Inove (1994), theories of syntactic processing must not only incorporate some mechanism for resolving conflicts new input and computed structure, but also distinguish the comparative costs of different reanalysis types.
