Second language (L2) learners whose first language (L1) does not morphologically mark agreement tend to experience difficulties during online processing. This study attempts to show sensitivity to agreement violations may dwindle as a function of cognitive resources and structural complexity, manipulated by distance. Our predictions were based on the cross-linguistic competition account, positing processing variability may arise when grammatical patterns licensed by the learners’ L1 compete with those licensed by L2 for selection. The results from self-paced reading suggested structural complexity as well as cognitive resources may play a role in L2 learners’ ability to display sensitivity to morphosyntactic violations.
