Note. “Correlations” refers to reading time differences between reduced relatives with animate heads versus reduced relatives with inanimate heads correlated with the entries in the first column. All the sets of sentences except McRae et al. compared animate heads with inanimate heads. McRae et al. compared typically agent heads with typically patient heads.
