    >The project investigates the development of parsing mechanisms in child
    >first language (L1) learners and adult second language (L2) learners.
    >Two areas of sentence processing will be studied, *ambiguity resolution*
    >and *filler-gap dependencies*. The project will make use of experimental
    >paradigms from the sentence processing literature and apply them to=20
    >4-8 year old monolingual English children, and to German and Chinese
    >adult L2 learners of English. Off-line tasks (grammaticality judgement
    >and elicited production) will be used in order to assess the learners'
    >linguistic competence in the relevant grammatical domain. On-line tasks
    >(such as self-paced reading and listening, and cross-modal priming) will
    >provide the crucial experimental data on syntactic processing in real time.=
