| Challenge: | Existing corpora of naturalistic text do not contain the low-frequency syntactic constructions needed to distinguish between theories. |
| Approach: | They propose to compare models of language processing by comparing their ability to predict behavioral and neural measures of processing difficulty to corpora of naturalistic text. |
| Outcome: | The proposed corpus contains low-frequency syntactic constructions while sounding fluent to native speakers. |
