“…Overall, our findings shed light on the literature focusing on L2 sentence processing by showing that L2 learners’ access and retrieval of constructional information may play a crucial role in sentence processing. Previous studies have identified several contributors to L2 sentence processing, such as L2 proficiency (e.g., Kim, ; Omaki & Schulz, ), working memory (e.g., Hopp, ), language learning experience (e.g., Pliatsikas & Marinis, ), similarities between L1 and L2 (e.g., Tokowicz & MacWhinney, ), and learners’ limited ability to use morphosyntactic information (e.g., Clahsen & Felser, ; Jiang, ). In addition to these factors, our results suggest that the degree to which a learner accesses constructional representations modulates L2 processing of target constructions.…”
