“…Another set of related ERP evidence comes from research on Chinese relative clauses, which also contain an overt English-like filler-gap dependency, and have sparked debates about whether syntactic movement is involved in their derivation, much like the "gap-type" topic structure. Although the research on Chinese relative clauses mainly focuses on whether subject or object relative clauses are more costly to process (e.g., Hsiao and Gibson, 2003;Lin and Bever, 2006;Packard et al, 2010;Hsu et al, 2009), the findings to date indicate that many aspects of Chinese relative clause processing resemble movement-derived filler-gap dependencies in other languages such as English (e.g., Yang et al, 2010). In particular, multiple studies have found a larger P600 indicative of syntactic integration cost for object relatives at or next to the subcategorizing verb (e.g., Packard et al, 2010;Yang et al, 2010), mirroring ERP results previously obtained for English, German, and Japanese (e.g., Felser et al, 2003, Phillips et al, 2005Ueno and Kluender, 2009).…”
