| Abstract | This dissertation examines the processing of sentences involving long-distance linguistic dependencies, or sentences containing elements that must be linked across intervening words and phrases. Specifically, both behavioral (self-paced reading and eye tracking) and neurophysiological (electroencephalography) methods were used (a) to evaluate the relative importance of backward- and forward-looking dependency satisfaction processes in the comprehension of sentences involving wh-dependencies; and (b) to determine the extent to which common neurocognitive mechanisms are involved the processing of "wh"- and anaphoric dependencies. With respect to the first issue, both behavioral and neurophysiological results indicated a core role for forward-looking, expectancy-based processes in the comprehension of "wh"-dependency sentences. Regarding the latter issue, despite considerable overlap in the reading patterns associated with "wh"-dependencies and (at least some types of) anaphora, the neurophysiological responses related to these dependency types indicated that their processing draws on distinct neurocognitive mechanisms.
