Assumes the existence of primitive basic syntactic tree structures are combined in various constrained ways.

Exp. 1a showed Spanish readers do not use late closure strategy to interpret a particular type of sentence. However, English readers do. Exp. 2, 3 and 4 showed structural choices were made when reading the sentence.

High and low span readers (working memory capacity) exhibited similar patterns of processing. Evidence of disruption in temporarily ambiguous sentences suggests semantics does not guide parsing.

The mouse was eaten by the cheese. The sentence was misrepresented as the mouse ate the cheese. Leads to incorrect interpretation. Judgements make decisions on grammatical structure of a sentence. Evidence suggests semantics/memory influences syntax.

The teachers [children] taught by the Berlitz method passed the test. [Teachers] sentence judged ungrammatical incorrectly. Suggests semantics/memory children are taught not teachers. Evidence suggests semantics guides parsing.

As the woman edited [sailed] the magazine amused all the reporters. Semantic constraints favour the wrong structure in [edited]- verb bias influences parsing. Misreading a sentence depends of familiarity with context of verbs.

Context is used to understand the meaningfulness of a sentence. Evidence suggests semantics guides parsing.
