The issue of the universality of parsing strategies is a central one in a theory of sentence processing, and addressing this issue crucially requires cross-linguistic data. While the need for cross-linguistic research has been argued about for a long time, and pioneering work has been done in this field (e.g. MacWhinney, Bates and Kliegl 1984), recently there has been increasing awareness that in order to yield significant and productive generalizations it is necessary to identify and clearly specify the level at which the comparison among language structures is to be performed. |
