Differential electrophysiological signatures of semantic and syntactic scene processing.
In sentence processing, semantic and syntactic violations elicit differential brain responses observable in event-related potentials: An N400 signals semantic violations, whereas a P600 marks inconsistent syntactic structure. Does the brain register similar distinctions in scene perception? To address this question, we presented participants with semantic inconsistencies, in which an object was...
متن کاملElectrophysiological signatures of event words: Dissociating syntactic and semantic category effects in lexical processing.
Numerous theories have been proposed regarding the brain's organization and retrieval of lexical information. Neurophysiological dissociations in processing different word classes, particularly nouns and verbs, have been extensively documented, supporting the contribution of grammatical class to lexical organization. However, the contribution of semantic properties to these processing differenc...
متن کاملIncremental Syntactic and Semantic Processing
The construction of the semantic representation for a natural language sentence or a piece of discourse cannot be covered by the so-called "compositional semantics" alone. In the general case, the non-compositional construction steps of generating quantifier scop-ing and of anaphora resolution have to be included. In order to filter out unnecessary information as soon as possible it is desirabl...
متن کاملMaking sense of sentences in schizophrenia: electrophysiological evidence for abnormal interactions between semantic and syntactic processing.
Event-related potentials to critical verbs were measured as patients with schizophrenia and healthy controls read sentences word by word. Relative to their preceding context, critical verbs were (a) congruous, (b) incongruous and semantically unrelated to individual preceding words (pragmatic-semantic violations), (c) incongruous but semantically related to individual preceding words (animacy-s...
متن کاملDifferential effects of syntactic and semantic processing on the subregions of Broca's area.
This study attempts to specify the contribution of two subregions of Broca's area during syntactic and semantic processing of sentences by examining brain activation in a grammaticality judgment task. The processing of two types of ungrammatical sentences was examined. One type leaves the thematic interpretation generally unaffected, by violating the noun-verb agreement in number, while the oth...
