The current study tests whether disambiguation can be influenced by nonrestrictive cues – when several alternatives are equally plausible. We first evaluated if modifier number biased the disambiguation of number- and case-ambiguous nouns in Basque. In a noun phrase comprehension paradigm, ambiguous noun number judgments were biased by preceding modifier number. Then, using a preamble completion paradigm, we examined whether headnoun disambiguation and thus sentence completion was also biased by modifier number. Our results suggest that nonrestrictive information (singular and plural number) can affect disambiguation. We also report task differences in the overall interpretation of ambiguous Basque nouns, as well modifier-induced agreement errors. We suggest that the parser uses any available context information when there is ambiguity, including preceding modifier markings.This research was partially funded by the following grants: PRE_2015_1_0320, PRE_2016_2_0070, PRE_2017_2_0079, PRE_2018_2_0074 (B.R.), as well as PI_2016_1_0014 (N.M.) by Eusko Jaurlaritza, PSI2015-65694-P and RTI2018-096311-B-I00 (N.M), as well as RYC-2017-22015 and FFI2016-76432- P_LAMPT (S.M.), funded by the Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (MINECO), the Agencia Estatal de Investigación (AEI) and the Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (FEDER), as well as the Centro de Excelencia Severo Ochoa grant SEV-2015- 0490.Language, Cognition and Neuroscience202120212020info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10810/50058reponame:Addi.
