In this study, we examine how word order (subject-verb-object vs. object-verb-subject) and verb type (psychological verb vs. action verb) affect second language Spanish learners’ and native Spanish speakers’ ability to determine who did what to whom in sentences. Participants’ accuracy in this argument interpretation task was compared to their sentence processing results from a self-paced reading task. In the native Spanish speaker group and two of three second language learner groups, there was a direct link between the processing difficulty that participants experienced while reading and their ability to subsequently determine who did what to whom in the sentences.
