Schematic of the sentence latency measures used in the present investigation- The black square represents the onset of each trial. The words are grouped into noun phrases (orange and red) and the verb phrase (magenta), where the first word of each phrase represents the phrasal boundary. The gaps highlighted in green represent articulatory time (i.e., intra-word durations), while the gaps highlighted in blue represent inter-word durations. The purple gap represents the entire sentence duration.
