A content-addressable pointer mechanism underlies comprehension of verb-phrase ellipsis (2008, background): “They argue that basic structure-building operations in comprehension are sensitive to complexity, because building more syntactic structure typically requires more costly syntactic "inferences" (Frazier & Clifton, 2001, pp. 1-2).”
