Eisenberg (2002) presents data from an experiment investigating three- and four-year-old children's comprehension of restrictive relative clauses (RC). From the results she argues, contrary to Hamburger & Crain (1982), that children do not have discourse knowledge of the felicity conditions of RCs before acquiring the syntax of relativization. This note evaluates this conclusion on the basis of the methodology used, and proposes that an account of syntactic development needs to be sensitive to the real-time processing requirements acquisition places on the learner.
艾森伯格（2002年）展示了一项实验的数据，该实验调查了三四岁儿童对限制性关系从句（RC）的理解。根据实验结果，她提出与汉堡和克莱恩（1982年）的观点相反，儿童在习得关系化句法之前，并不具备关于关系从句恰当性条件的语篇知识。本笔记基于所使用的方法对这一结论进行评估，并提出句法发展的解释需要考虑到习得对学习者实时处理的要求。
