The book presents a processing model that explains the mechanisms of Chinese and English relative clauses. Drawing on behavioural studies and ERP experiments, it examines the many factors that influence relative clause processing in English and Chinese, including intelligence, language ability, cultural differences, and ERP components such as N400 and P600. It explores how different cultural and philosophical traditions shape relative clause structures.

This book will be an essential reference for linguists, cognitive scientists and language educators interested in cross-cultural language processing. It will also provide valuable insights for researchers studying second language acquisition and professionals developing language learning methodologies.
