Clausulas relativas com antecedente duplo nominal em espanhol: uma jornada experimental
Resumo
Uma suposição recorrente em psicolinguística é que certos princípios
universais da economia computacional guiam as decisões estruturais feitas durante o processamento de frases. O primeiro estudo conduzido em espanhol sobre decisões de apego (Cuetos & Mitchell, 1988) questionou a existência desses princípios ao apresentar evidências de que os falantes de espanhol preferem usar uma estratégia
de fechamento antecipado ou de alto apego para resolver a interpretação de sentenças com clausulas relativas com antecedente duplo nominal. Desde então, várias investigações vêm apresentando evidências nem sempre consistentes. Este artigo apresenta uma revisão exaustiva e crítica dos estudos sobre o espanhol, examinando
as várias metodologias utilizadas e a influência de diferentes fatores no processamento sintático. Da mesma forma, as implicações desses achados para os modelos de processamento de sentenças são analisadas e a possibilidade de considerar princípios
universais é debatida.
