A garden-path sentence is a sentence whose initial words lead a reader or listener toward a syntactic interpretation that must be revised when subsequent information reveals a different grammatical structure. This phenomenon arises from the incremental nature of sentence processing, in which comprehenders construct provisional syntactic analyses as linguistic input unfolds ^[1][2]. Garden-path effects are associated with temporary syntactic ambiguity and the reanalysis processes required when an initially preferred structural interpretation becomes incompatible with later material ^[1][2].
