Abstract	Speakers sometimes repeat syntactic structures across sentences, a phenomenon called syntactic priming. We investigated the influence of verb-bound syntactic preferences on syntactic priming effects in response choices and response latencies for German ditransitive sentences. In the response choices we found "inverse preference effects": There were stronger syntactic priming effects for primes in the "less" preferred structure, given the syntactic preference of the prime verb. In the response latencies we found "positive preference effects": There were stronger syntactic priming effects for primes in the "more" preferred structure, given the syntactic preference of the prime verb. These findings provide further support for the idea that syntactic processing is lexically guided. (As Provided).
