A STUDY OF SEMANTIC AND GRAMMATICAL FACTORS INFLUENCING PRONOUN PROCESSING

Abstract

Abstract: This study examined the influence of sentence semantics, the parallel function of pronoun and its antecedent,and whether the pronoun is the subject of sentence on pronoun processing, The results showed that semantics is the primacy in pronoun assignment.The subjects generally select the referent of pronoun on the basis of semantic information. The parallel function of pronoun and its antecedent speeds pronoun assignment under certain conditions.The parallel function strategy was partially supported in the study, Whether the antecedent is the subject or is first mentioned in the clause affects the assignment and its rate to a certain extent.

Key words: language comprehension, pronoun processing, pronoun assignment, pronoun and its antecedent
