Is native speaker variation in understanding complex sentences due
to individual differences in working memory capacity or in
syntactic competence? The answer to this question has very
important consequences for both theoretical and applied concerns in
linguistics and education. This book is distinctive in giving an
historical and interdisciplinary perspective on the rule- based and
experience-based debate and in supporting an integrated account. In
the study reported here, variation was found to be due to
differences in syntactic competence and the author argues that
sentence comprehension is a learned skill, displaying many of the
general characteristics of cognitive skills. The book will be
stimulating reading for psycholinguists, theoretical linguists,
applied linguists and educators.
