Priming in French anaphora resolution

Résumé

Preferences in the interpretation of ambiguous pronouns have been shown to be influenced by properties of the potential antecedents, such as grammatical role (e.g., Kaiser & Trueswell, 2008) and topicality (e.g., Colonna, Schimke & Hemforth, in press). Approaches based on linguistic experience moreover predict that interpretational preferences for a given pronoun may also be influenced by extensive exposure to one of the possible interpretations. A direct way to test this hypothesis is to see whether such a priming effect exists for pronoun resolution. In a series of questionnaires, we tested two types of structures. The first type contained ambiguous overt pronouns in subordinate clauses introduced by quand (when). The second type contained a zero anaphor in a present participle construction.
