    "abstract": "The role of processing constraints on sentence structure has\nbeen a topic of central interest in cognitive science. One\nproposal (Hawkins, 2004) suggests that language production\nsystem is organized to facilitate efficient parsing. We\nexperimentally test this hypothesis using a miniature artificial\nlanguage learning paradigm. Our findings support this\naccount. Even though the input languages did not favor early\nplacement of cues to grammatical function assignment (case\nand word order), participants used these cues in their own\nproductions significantly more often in such a way as to allow\nearly correct parsing commitments. This preference interacted\nwith a bias to mark the less expected: Participants tended to\nuse more case-marking in non-English OSV sentences. Our\nresults underscore the potential of miniature artificial learning\nfor language production research.",
