Table 7.
Written versions of the auditory Experiment 3 stimuli. Sentences appeared in a 2 × 3 design. The three-level ISLANDHOOD manipulation is shown across rows, while the two-level RESUMPTION manipulation is shown in-line. Stimuli were almost identical to those in Experiment 2, save for minor changes related to creating controlled auditory recordings.
