Abstract
Abstract Three lexical decision experiments are reported that test the use of inflectional and word-order strategies by adult readers of Serbo-Croatian to assign syntactic roles of subject and object. No word-order effects are observed when both syntactic roles are specified unambiguously by inflection (Experiment 1) or when the object's inflection only is unambiguous (Experiment 3). Word-order influences on lexical decision are obtained when neither syntactic role is specified (Experiment 3) and when the subject's inflection only is unambiguous (Experiment 2). Results are discussed in terms of word-byword vs clausal processing and, more generally, in terms of Forster's model of the language processor.
