Processing Chinese relative clauses: evidence for the subject-relative advantage.

Why are we unable to obtain the same results as Gibson and colleagues in experiments 1 and 2? Apart from our earlier observations about their two experiments, which we think could have introduced sources of bias in their analyses and data, a fact that seems to have gone unnoticed in the literature is that the original Hsiao and Gibson study [20] in fact found a subject relative advantage at the head noun in single embeddings (just as we did in Experiment 1), but their result did not reach statistical significance.
