Description
A filler-gap dependency can be created by extracting any of a number of elements from a subordinate clause, including subjects, objects, indicrect objects (argument structural NPs) and NPs nested in a prepositional phrase. These possibilities serve as the basis for several test suites on filler-gap dependencies. We require that a model successfully pass a two-part criterion for each item in the filler-gap dependency tests: the wh-filler (such as "who" or "what") should make the unextracted filled argument structure more surprising when they exist, and should make the post-gap material less surprising when the argument structure NPs are gapped.

Formula Description
(642,what_gap/6,prep) < (639,that_gap/6,prep) We expect the “prep” region to be lower in the what_gap condition than in the that_gap condition, because gaps must be licensed by upstream wh words (such as “what”).
(640,what_nogap/5,np2) > (641,that_nogap/5,np2) We expect the NP2 to be less surprising in the that_no-gap condition than in the what_no-gap condition, because an upstream wh-word should set up an expectation for a gap.
