Two experiments, one using self-paced reading and one using eye tracking, investigated the influence of noun animacy on the processing of subject relative (SR) clauses, object relative (OR) clauses, and object relative clauses with stylistic inversion (OR-SI) in French. Each sentence type was presented in two versions: either with an animate relative clause (RC) subject and an inanimate object (AS/IO), or with an inanimate RC subject and an animate object (IS/AO). There was an interaction between the RC structure and noun animacy. The advantage of SR sentences over OR and OR-SI sentences disappeared in AS/IO sentences. The interaction between animacy and structure occurred in self-paced reading times and in total fixation times on the RCs, but not in first-pass reading times. The results are consistent with a late interaction between animacy and structural processing during parsing and provide data relevant to several models of parsing.
两项实验，一项使用自定步速阅读，另一项使用眼动追踪，研究了名词的生命性对法语中主语关系从句（SR）、宾语关系从句（OR）以及带有文体倒装的宾语关系从句（OR-SI）处理的影响。每种句子类型都以两种版本呈现：要么是带有有生命性的关系从句主语和无生命性的宾语（AS/IO），要么是带有无生命性的关系从句主语和有生命性的宾语（IS/AO）。关系从句结构和名词生命性之间存在交互作用。在AS/IO句子中，SR句子相对于OR和OR-SI句子的优势消失了。生命性和结构之间的交互作用出现在自定步速阅读时间以及对关系从句的总注视时间上，但在首次阅读时间上并未出现。这些结果与解析过程中生命性和结构处理之间的后期交互作用一致，并为几种解析模型提供了相关数据。
