DEEPER THAN SHALLOW:
EVIDENCE FOR STRUCTURE-BASED
PARSING BIASES IN SECOND-LANGUAGE
SENTENCE PROCESSING
ABSTRACT
This study examines the reading patterns of native speakers (NSs) and high-level (Chinese) nonnative
speakers (NNSs) on three English sentence types involving temporarily ambiguous structural
configurations. The reading patterns on each sentence type indicate that both NSs and NNSs were
biased toward specific structural interpretations. These results are interpreted as evidence that both
first-language and second-language (L2) sentence comprehension is guided (at least in part) by
structure-based parsing strategies and, thus as counterevidence to the claim that NNSs are largely
limited to rudimentary (or “shallow”) syntactic computation during online L2 sentence processing.
