Sentence processing is a fundamental and critical area of inquiry within the field of language processing, as it plays an essential role in facilitating effective communication. The present study focuses on the immediate processing of sentences in English language communication. The article begins by providing an overview of the basic principles underlying sentence processing. It then delves into the various parsing strategies, including the late closure strategy and the minimal attachment strategy. The modular and interactive models of sentence processing are also presented and discussed. Additionally, the relationship between sentence processing and meaning is explored, with an examination of the role of factors such as presupposition and plausibility in language communication process. Finally, the role of prosody in language processing is expounded upon. The paper draws several conclusions regarding the nature of immediate sentence processing in language communication.
