Previous research has revealed a cross-linguistic difference in the interpretation of object pronouns in children. While in some languages (e.g. German) children’s performance is adult-like, in other languages (e.g. English), children seem to have difficulties interpreting object pronouns. In this experiment, we manipulated information structure marking to investigate whether this would modulate the processing of object pronouns and reflexives in children and adults in German. We recorded participants’ eye movements while they listened to the mini-stories and looked at the corresponding pictures. Our results show that information structure can modulate the processing of object pronouns in both adults and children.
