Cross-modality between vision and language is a key component for effective and ef?cient communication, and human language processing mechanism successfully integrates information from various modalities to extract the intended meaning. However, incomplete linguistic input, i.e. due to a noisy environment, is one of the challenges for a successful communication. In that case, an incompleteness in one channel can be compensated by information from another one. In this paper, by conducting visual-world paradigm, we investigated the dynamics between syntactically possible gap ?llers and the visual arrangements in incomplete German sentences and their effect on overall sentence interpretation.
