Examples of the Three Different OLACS Sentence Structures (SVO, OVS, and ambOVS) Tested in This Study.

ambOVS structure	Die	liebe	Königin	grüßt	der_PTD	kleine	Junge.
	The_amb	nice_amb	queen_fem	greets₃_sg	the_nom	little_nom	boy.

Note. The disambiguating word—the word from which the target picture could theoretically first be recognized by the participant—is indicated by PTD. Nom (nominative), acc (accusative), and amb (ambiguous case, here nominative or accusative) indicate the relevant case markings. 3sg indicates third person singular forms; fem indicates feminine gender. The meaning of the example sentence is given by the sentence in quotation marks. PTD = point of target disambiguation; SVO = subject–verb–object; OVS = object–verb–subject; ambOVS = ambiguous object–verb–subject.
