The article investigates the influence of the factors: Animacy, Case inflection, and Noun-verb agreement on sentence comprehension 54 simple transitive sentences were presented to the each subject and their task was to pick out the actor in the sentence. Six psychology students participated in the experiment. The results indicate that the strategy of decodeing case inflectional information is used more often than the strategy of decodeing agreement or animacy information. In the situation where the inflectional information is not present or is ambiguous, then the strategies of decodeing the other kind of information are dominant.
