What's garden path effect? Google couldn't answer.
----------------------------------

Editor: Google has no trouble answering.

The top Google result for [garden path effect] yields this:

"The garden-path sentence effect occurs when the sentence has a phrase or word with an ambiguous meaning that the reader interprets in a certain way and, when they read the whole sentence, there is a difference in what has been read and what was expected."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden-path_sentence#Parsing

The problem is not that there is no such thing as a "garden path effect", but rather
1. "Garden path sentence" is a more commonly used term.
2. There is no single Chinese equivalent. Instead, there are various terms such as
花园幽径句
园径句型
花园小径句式
园径句
偏導語句
偏導句
etc.

Ex:
本研究利用具有漢語特性的句法材料「花園路徑句」(garden-path sentences)來檢驗資優生的閱讀能力。所謂「花園路徑句」乃為句法歧義句型的一種,將於後面段落詳述。本研究為了強調「花園路徑句」在心智運作的過程中,原來讀者會因文字編排而偏導到某一種偏好結構,因此在本文中將以「偏導句」來指稱「花園路徑句」,以與後述的實驗設計中控制組的句子「對照句」相呼應。研究重點放在偏導句所具有的漢語特殊性,並從心智運作歷程的角度,來探討工作記憶及創造力在資優生閱讀理解上所扮演的角色。
