   For example, marking agreement inside a single phrase, via a process of unification, between a noun and an adjacent adjective in a noun phrase, will be less demanding in processing terms than a procedure that requires exchanging information 'inter-phrasally', that is, across two separate phrases (an NP and a VP for example) and so these local dependencies should emerge before the longer distance ones.
