This squib tests theories of heavy NP shift that link constituent order to parsing. Our results indicate that increasing the weight of an object NP cannot make a heavy NP shift construction more acceptable than a comparison sentence in the canonical order, contra parsing-based theories. In addition, we examine acceptability as it relates to verb disposition. We find no significant differences between different subcategorizations, contrary to the findings of corpus studies. These results reveal a disconnect between production and comprehension; we further conclude that parser sensitivity to constituent structure is unlikely to affect speaker production of heavy NP shift.

上限对重NP移位中体重的影响

爆管测试了将NP顺序与解析联系起来的重度NP移位的理论。我们的研究结果表明，增加对象NP的权重并不能使较重的NP移位结构比规范句子中基于对比分析的句子更能接受。另外，我们研究了与动词处置有关的可接受性。与语料研究相反，我们发现不同子类别之间没有显着差异。这些结果揭示了生产与理解之间的脱节。我们进一步得出结论，解析器对组成结构的敏感性不太可能影响扬声器产生大量NP偏移。
