The ability to compute hierarchical recursive structures, such as those found in natural grammars, has been identified as a key feature for distinguishing humans from other primates (HAUSER; CHOMSKY; FITCH, 2002). This kind of structure, however, does not seem to be exclusive to the domain of natural language. In strictly structural terms, a parallel can be drawn between linguistic sentences and numerical expressions. Specifically, in both cases there may be structures with center-embedding. This paper aims to address the notion of linguistic recursion, within the framework of Generative Theory, and to report experimental results. A self-paced reading experiment was designed to explore a priming effect in the processing of recursive structu...
