German is a language which has received a lot of attention in linguistics, and data from German had a substantial in?uence on the formation of linguistic theory. The in?uence this language had so far on psycholinguistics and on s- tactic processing in particular is much more limited, although the last 10 years have seen a growing interest in psycholinguistic investigations of German. The present monograph will build on earlier work and develop it further toward an account of syntactic comprehension on the basis of theoretical as well as - perimental investigations. The verb-?nal nature, the free order of constituents, and the morphological Case system of German offer a rich domain for exp- rations which will be shown to reshape our knowledge about human sentence processing in general. Much of the research which led to this monograph has been carried out at theFriedrichSchiller UniversityJenaandhasbeenconcluded atKonstanzU- versity. Our research has been supported between 1997 and 2005 by grant Ba 1178/4 of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) under the title L- guage Comprehension and Variable Word Order - Syntactic and Extrasyntactic Factors in Processing German Sentences.We are indebted to the DFG for this continuous support over the years, and in particular to Dr. Manfred Briegel and Dr. Susanne Anschutz for their administrative help.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 22nd Ada-Europe International Conference on Reliable Software Technologies, Ada-Europe 2017, held in Vienna, Austria, in June 2017. The revised 15 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 37 submissions.

Das Verstehen von Sprache ist ein zentrales Gebiet der Psycholinguistik. Dieser Band beschaftigt sich mit dem Teilprozess der syntaktischen Analyse: Wie wird beim Sprachverstehen auf der Basis von syntaktischem Wissen Satzen eine syntaktische Struktur zugewiesen? Neben einer ausfuhrlichen Einfuhrung in die Problematik der syntaktischen Verarbeitung enthalt der Band eine Reihe von Leseexperimenten, in denen einige der wichtigen syntaktischen Konstruktionen des Deutschen untersucht werden. Die Ergebnisse dieser Experimente zeigen u. a., dass die prosodische Struktur, die man beim Lesen als Teil des "inneren Sprechens" erzeugt, die Berechnung syntaktischer Strukturen beeinflusst.
