This paper examines how grammatical and memory constraints explain gradience in superiority violation acceptability. A computational model encoding both categories of constraints is compared to experimental evidence. By formalizing memory capacity as beam-search in the parser, the model predicts gradience evident in human data. To predict attachment behavior, the parser must be sensitive to the types of nominal intervenors that occur between a wh-filler and its head. The results suggest memory is more informative for modeling violation gradience patterns than grammatical constraints. |
