Three experiments explored the effects of the interaction of lexical and syntactic processes during language comprehension. Subjects read sentences containing lexical items that resulted in syntactic category ambiguities (e.g., desert trains, where desert can be a noun or an adjective and trains can be a verb or a noun). During reading, eye movements were monitored as a reflection of on-line parsing activities. The experiments tested alternative hypotheses about how the processor resolves syntactic category ambiguities. All experiments supported a delay strategy in which the processor delays assigning an analysis to a categorially ambiguous string until it receives disambiguating information dictating the correct analysis of the string. The implications of the results for a general theory of sentence comprehension are discussed.
