In previous research focusing on temporo-aspectual computation, studies have presented evidence from Mandarin, demonstrating distinct processing patterns for temporal and aspectual information (Collart, 2022; Collart & Chan, 2019; Yang, 2020). However, these studies have not yet disentangled the potential factors for temporal and aspectual processing as most of them compared temporal-incongruent sentences caused by lexical semantic anomalies with aspectual-incongruent sentences caused by grammatical violations. Furthermore, despite the abundant evidence that working memory constrains the processing behavior of the parser (Swets et al., 2007; Vos & Friederici, 2003), whether and how working memory capacity affects online temporo-aspectual processing remains underexplored.To bridge the gaps, this dissertation aims to investigate the temporo-aspectual computation through the lens of Mandarin Chinese, with a focus on structural activation and mismatch resolution during relative clause processing. In this dissertation, two experiments were conducted to investigate 1) how temporo-aspectual mismatches (e.g., time reference or aspect incongruence) are computed in Mandarin Chinese, a language without tense morphology, and 2) how factors such as time-bearing cues (e.g., lexical adverbials vs. grammatical aspect markers), the semantic features encoded by these time-bearing cues (e.g., specific past time vs. vague past time), as well as working memory capacity affect temporo-aspectual computation in Mandarin. The first experiment was a sentence completion task administered to 84 participants to investigate mismatch detection and the structural strategies used by native Mandarin speakers during sentence construction. The second experiment was a remote self-paced reading task administered to 65 participants to examine processing patterns as the (in)congruent information unfolded online.Overall, the results indicated factorial interactions between time/aspect type (i.e., time reference vs. aspect processing), cue type (i.e., lexical vs. functional cue), feature type (i.e., specific past time vs. vague past time), and individual reading span (i.e., high vs. low). Results from the sentence completion task supported previous findings that Match (i.e., whether or not there is a temporal mismatch) is a strong and major predictor of the sentence completion strategies of native Mandarin speakers. Temporal mismatch, overall, increases the odds of using relative clause continuations in sentence completion. In addition, Cue Type as well as Feature Type, albeit with a relatively weaker strength, also affected the likelihood of choosing relative clause continuations to complete a sentence fragment containing a temporal mismatch. The factorial interaction account is further supported by the results of the online self-paced reading task. For both high and low reading span groups, processing difficulties occurred only in temporal mismatch conditions and not in aspect mismatch conditions. The effect of Time/Aspect Type shows that the Mandarin parser pays more attention to temporal mismatches while being more tolerant of aspectual mismatches. Moreover, this cognitive penalty increased significantly when the time reference mismatch was attributed to the collision between two lexical adverbs. This aligns with the cue validity account (Dillon et al., 2012), showing that online temporo-aspectual computation in Mandarin is largely affected by whether the time-bearing cue is lexical or functional. Finally, while high-span readers demonstrated cognitive benefits by swiftly making a reanalysis as soon as a disambiguating element was available during temporo-aspectual computation, low-span readers did not show such advantage but rather exhibited a reanalysis latency. Taken together, the results reveal prominent factorial interactions among time/aspect type, cue type, feature, and reading span during temporo-aspectual computation in Mandarin.
