This study explores the processing differences in unaccusative, unergative and transitive predicates in Spanish. We tested the Unaccusative Hypothesis using eye-tracking and the Visual World Paradigm by measuring argument reactivation, a processing phenomenon that reflects the integration of an argument with the verb. Our results reveal that agents (i.e. unergative and transitive subjects) display a common processing pattern, showing an earlier and larger reactivation effect after the verb, whereas themes (i.e. unaccusative subjects) show a later and smaller reactivation effect. These results support the predictions made by the Unaccusative Hypothesis.
