Summary Processing French investigates the native language processing of French through word- and sentence-level studies and in doing so, accomplishes two goals. First, the book offers behavioural evidence in support of a dual-mechanism processing account at the word level. Second, by incorporating the findings of the word-level studies into sentence-level studies, it offers a window onto the morphological processing of displaced sentential elements. Professor Golato's research presents a fresh perspective on the scope of words and rules theory (WR theory), a prominent theory of the mental representation of words, by demonstrating that with French, WR theory accounts for processing both at the word and at the sentence level. Previous work in this domain has focused almost exclusively on Germanic languages and has been restricted to word-level processing.
