AB  - In two experiments, we examine how proficient second language speakers integrate 
      verb bias and plausibility information during online sentence comprehension. 
      Spanish-English speakers and native English speakers read sentences in English in 
      which a post-verbal noun phrase (NP) could be interpreted as a direct object or a 
      sentential subject. To examine the role of verb bias, the post-verbal NP was 
      preceded by a verb that is preferentially followed by a direct object (DO-bias 
      verbs) or a sentential complement (SC-bias verbs). To assess the role of 
      plausibility, the semantic fit between the verb and the post-verbal NP was either 
      congruent or incongruent with the direct object interpretation. The results show 
      that both second language speakers and native speakers used verb bias information 
      to assign a grammatical role to the post-verbal ambiguous NP with small 
      differences. Syntactic revision of an initially incorrect DO interpretation was 
      facilitated by the presence of an implausible NP.
