Extraposition from NP (EXNP) sentences in English exhibit a variety of syntactic, semantic and pragmatic properties. Shiobara (1997) analyzes EXNP in terms of sentence processing and accounts for the acceptability of EXNP sentences by syntactic and semantic/pragmatic processing principles. However, the degree of acceptability of each sentence is not necessarily the same. For example, an EXNP sentence with preposition-stranding is always found to be worse than a corresponding EXNP sentence with pied-piping of a preposition. This paper shows that the qualitative difference in acceptability in EXNP sentences results from the modified version of the Nested Dependency Constraint proposed by Fodor (1978).
