Object relatives (ORs) are reported to cause heavier processing loads than subject relatives (SRs... more Object relatives (ORs) are reported to cause heavier processing loads than subject relatives (SRs) [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. This asymmetry has been explained in terms of the relation between filler and gap, either linear (Dependency Locality Theory, DLT; [6]) or structural (Structural Distance Hypothesis, SDH; [7]). Another approach accounts for the asymmetry in terms of structural uncertainty, independently of the filler-gap dependency (Entropy Reduction Hypothesis, ERH; [8])/ The ERH accounts for the relative processing difficulty of ORs in terms of the relatively high degree of local ambiguity they introduce. Interestingly, these accounts predict an asymmetry between subject and object gaps not just in relative clauses, but in noun complement complex NPs (NCCNPs) like the fact that S. This study aims to evaluate these accounts by investigating the processing of NCCNPs in Korean.

Agreement between the Entropy Reduction predictions and the available empirical data suggests that the heightened comprehension difficulty attested in object-extracted relatives is due to distinctive incremental parser states associated with comparatively greater temporary ambiguity.
