So Özge isolated the role of c-command in 3 Turkish VW expts. Finding: c-commanding antecedents are retrieved faster and more often than non-c-commanding antecedents.
Big takeaway? Relational / Hierarchical structure really does guide attention from the earliest moments of language comprehension!

... Özge found that despite tons of work on anaphors in last ~10 years, we *still* hadn't unambiguously demonstrated the role of relational constraints on anaphor processing. Too many 'simple' item-level cues like 'subject' that speakers could use in previous studies, complicating interpretation!

Hi! Me and my Ward 3 neighbors are strongly in support of this. How best should we communicate that support to you, and have it represented as part our wards views? We’d be very happy to see our Ward council member champion investment and growth in our ward and city!

Liz is really amazing and is an incredible fount of knowledge when it comes to eye-tracking-while-reading. It was a privilege to work with her on this, and we hope you and your students find it useful!
