Tailored for scholars and researchers in linguistics, psycholinguistics, and cognitive science, this monograph embarks on an in-depth exploration of the intriguing realm of long-distance dependencies in human language. These dependencies exhibit a compelling duality: they are unbounded, as they extend across an arbitrary number of words, yet they are constrained by the grammar. Historically, linguists and psycholinguists have pursued distinct paths to account for the intricacies of these dependencies. Bridging these traditions together, this monograph leverages the concept of similarity, focusing on two canonical phenomena in theoretical linguistics and psycholinguistics: wh-islands and agreement attraction. These serve as test cases for an extensive empirical and theoretical investigation, unraveling the interplay between formal linguistic properties and memory operations.

Sandra Villata is an assistant professor at the University of Enna "Kore," Italy. She earned her PhD in Linguistics from the University of Geneva, Switzerland (2017) and has held postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Connecticut, USA, and the New York University Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Her research explores fundamental questions in syntax and their connections with sentence processing theories using cutting-edge experimental methods, including acceptability studies, self-paced reading, maze tasks, and computational modeling. Villata has worked on the syntax of long-distance dependencies, islands, and agreement, publishing several peer-reviewed articles in top linguistics and psycholinguistics journals.
