Sentence examples for the preceding subject from inspiring English sources

In fact, as we observed in the preceding subject test, subjects were sometimes able to successfully adopt a strategy without being able to accurately describe what the strategy was.

However, the presence of a pronoun provided as an initial prompt in the continuation favors interpretation of the pronoun as referencing a preceding subject.

It can be posited that the presence of a pronoun in the continuation prompt favors reference to a preceding subject rather than a non-subject/Goal.

The sentence completion task showed that participants used pronouns provided in the prompts to reference elements in preceding subject positions at a rate of nearly 80%%, and linked pronouns to non-subjects much less frequently.

What this first experiment therefore shows is a very significant asymmetry in the spontaneous interpretation of pronouns, and speakers appear to very strongly favor linking the interpretation of a pronoun to a preceding subject in Chinese6.

The current project has focused heavily on the interpretation of pronouns relative to preceding subjects and Goal NPs, and we have not attempted to examine potential contrasts between subjects and NPs in other syntactic relations, such as direct object position, or pre-verbal objects in the 把 ba "BA" construction.

A general high rate of use of pronouns to refer to subjects rather than other grammatical relations was independently attested in Experiment 1, with nearly 80%% of the pronouns in S2 continuations being linked to NPs in the preceding sentences' subject position.

The AMR required a specific differential phonological marking for Hebrew verbs depending on whether the preceding noun (the subject) was animate or inanimate.
