- Abstract
Two experiments investigated the role of parallelism in strategies of pronoun assignment and tested the proposition that a parallel function strategy and the subject assignment strategy jointly contribute to the interpretation of pronouns. The present study investigates a strategy of pronoun comprehension based on grammatical parallelism and contrasts it with a simpler strategy based on reference to an earlier subject noun phrase. These two strategies are known as the parallel function strategy and the subject assignment strategy respectively.
