Abstract

We present the conditional probability calculator CCPC for predicting word-by-word processing difficulties in human sentence comprehension. This system, in conjunction with weighted grammars and the linking hypothesis Entropy Reduction (Hale, 2006), derives the subject-object asymmetry in Italian relative clauses, including the animacy effect of head nouns.
