Information Structure Influences Depth of Syntactic Processing: Event-Related Potential Evidence for the Chomsky Illusion
Information structure facilitates communication between interlocutors by highlighting relevant information. It has previously been shown that information structure modulates the depth of semantic processing. Here we used event-related potentials to investigate whether information structure can modulate the depth of syntactic processing. In question-answer pairs, subtle (number agreement) or sal...
متن کاملSyntactic processing with aging: an event-related potential study.
To assess age-related changes in simple syntactic processing with normal aging, event-related brain potentials (ERPs) elicited by grammatical number violations as individuals read sentences for comprehension were analyzed. Violations were found to elicit a P600 of equal amplitude and latency regardless of an individual's age. Instead, advancing age was associated with a change in the scalp dist...
متن کاملHow Is Sentence Processing Affected by External Semantic and Syntactic Information? Evidence from Event-Related Potentials
BACKGROUND A crucial question for understanding sentence comprehension is the openness of syntactic and semantic processes for other sources of information. Using event-related potentials in a dual task paradigm, we had previously found that sentence processing takes into consideration task relevant sentence-external semantic but not syntactic information. In that study, internal and external i...
متن کاملEvent-related potential correlates of linguistic information processing in schizophrenics.
Event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded from adult schizophrenics and age- and education-matched normal controls during performance of an idiom recognition task involving judgments of the meaningfulness of idiomatic, literal, and nonsense phrases. Schizophrenics produced more errors and had prolonged reaction times while attempting to correctly differentiate meaningful from meaningless ph...

line sites. In addition, several non-standard sites over posited language centers were used, including Wernicke’s area (WL, WR: 30% of the interaural distance lateral to a point 13% of the nasion-inion distance posterior to Cz), posterior temporal (PTL, PTR: 33% of the interaural distance lateral to Cz), and anterior temporal (ATL, ATR: one-half the distance between F7-8 and T3 -4). Vertical ey...
