**Abstract:** Recent studies suggest that comprehenders engage in rational noisy-channel
inference to accommodate the possibility of production and perception
errors. We examine two possible factors that may contribute to “noisy”
representations of linguistic input: Low-level orthographic errors, and
linguistic errors in morphosyntactic features. We test this within a
subject/object relative ambiguity in Hebrew, and replicate previous
findings suggesting that readers opt for a noisy SR analysis over a
faithful but rare OR. Yet we failed to observe significant effects of
featural and of orthographic distance on the tendency to choose a noisy
analysis over a faithful one.
