Abstract
This study investigates when and how the association process between two syntactic elements are performed in on-line sentence processing. The results of our ERP experiment suggest that the language processor adopts a two-stage processing style. First, when the language processor encounters an element requiring association with another element, it holds it in working memory until the appropriate candidate for the association appears. Then, the language processor associates the candidate for association with the element which had been stored in working memory.
