Abstract
- It has previously been claimed that a deterministic model of the human sentence parsing mechanism provides an explanation for the existence of, and some of the properties of, the subjacency constraint on natural languages. The present paper argues that the empirical arguments offered in support of these claims are flawed, and that in any case the explanatory relationship between determinism and subjacency is weak.
