  abstract  = {This article presents a contrastive analysis between reading time and
	syntactic/semantic categories in Japanese. We overlaid the reading time
	annotation of BCCWJ-EyeTrack and a syntactic/semantic category information
	annotation on the `Balanced Corpus of Contemporary Written Japanese'.
	Statistical analysis based on a mixed linear model showed that verbal phrases
	tend to have shorter reading times than adjectives, adverbial phrases, or
	nominal phrases. The results suggest that the preceding phrases associated with
	the presenting phrases promote the reading process to shorten the gazing time.},
