The NoLink|Link partition distinguished conditions with and without a dependency relation (whether Binding or Movement). Each example sentence (n = 16 per condition) features a grammatical (+GRAM) and an ungrammatical (smaller font, –GRAM) counterpart (where the latter is later excluded from analysis). (a) No Link, baseline (−MOV−BIND). (b) No Movement, Binding (−MOV+BIND). (c) Movement, no Binding (+MOV−BIND). (d) Both Movement and Binding (+MOV+BIND; see Supplementary Materials at http://freud.tau.ac.il/~yosef1/ for more details about stimulus construction, and a complete list of stimuli).
