Abstract/Résumé

La recherche sur les limites de la simultanée dues à la charge cognitive gagne à être menéepar la voie d’analyses locales. Localement, la charge cognitive importée d’un segment dontle traitement n’est pas terminé peut déterminer la difficulté d’interprétation du segment encours de traitement, et expliquer des difficultés spécifiques par langue qui ne sont pasmanifestes dans la conversation quotidienne. Interviennent aussi la distribution de la densitéd’information dans la phrase et les pauses entre les phrases. La manipulation expérimentalede ces dernières et une focalisation de la recherche sur des segments locaux pourraientaugmenter l’efficacité de la recherche empirique sur l’interprétation.
