“…The interpretation of an utterance therefore necessitates the simultaneous processing of various types of information such as semantics, syntax, world knowledge and the involvement of both working memory (WM) and long-term memory. Recent studies in second language (L2) have suggested that late L2 speakers sometimes have difficulties integrating multiple sources of information during online comprehension (Foucart, Moreno, Martin, & Costa, 2015;Foucart, Garcia, et al, 2015;Roberts, Gullberg, & Indefrey, 2008;Romero-Rivas et al, 2016; but see, Martin, Garcia, Breton, Thierry, & Costa, 2015). Most of these studies investigated processing at sentence level; in this paper we test whether these difficulties impair semantic processing during discourse comprehension.…”
