The reading patterns on each sentence type indicate that both NSs and NNSs were biased toward specific structural interpretations. These results are interpreted as evidence that both first-language and second-language (L2) sentence comprehension is guided (at least in part) by structure-based parsing strategies and, thus as counterevidence to the claim that NNSs are largelylimited to rudimentary (or“shallow”) syntactic computation during online L2 sentence processing. 日程：2013年６月６日（木曜日）午後6時15分～午後7時45分（６コマ目の授業時間帯）場所：名古屋大学全学教育棟・北棟405号室　　　＜参加自由・無料＞コンタクト：名古屋大学　玉岡賀津雄　ktamaoka@lang.nagoya-u.ac.jp
