Syntactic priming in German-English bilinguals during sentence comprehension
A longstanding question in bilingualism is whether syntactic information is shared between the two language processing systems. We used an fMRI repetition suppression paradigm to investigate syntactic priming in reading comprehension in German-English late-acquisition bilinguals. In comparison to conventional subtraction analyses in bilingual experiments, repetition suppression has the advantag...
متن کاملGive and take: syntactic priming during spoken language comprehension.
Syntactic priming during language production is pervasive and well-studied. Hearing, reading, speaking or writing a sentence with a given structure increases the probability of subsequently producing the same structure, regardless of whether the prime and target share lexical content. In contrast, syntactic priming during comprehension has proven more elusive, fueling claims that comprehension ...
متن کاملSyntactic priming during sentence comprehension: evidence for the lexical boost.
Syntactic priming occurs when structural information from one sentence influences processing of a subsequently encountered sentence (Bock, 1986; Ledoux et al., 2007). This article reports 2 eye-tracking experiments investigating the effects of a prime sentence on the processing of a target sentence that shared aspects of syntactic form. The experiments were designed to determine the degree to w...
متن کاملEffects of Syntactic Complexity in Discourse Comprehension
Comprehension deficits of spoken language have been widely described subsequent to damage to the left hemisphere (Nicholas and Brookshire, 1995). Research to date has primarily focused on comprehension of isolated words or sentences in persons with aphasia (pwa) (Yasuda, Nakamura & Beckman 2000). However, a few studies have suggested that pwa use heuristics (context and general knowledge) to fa...
متن کاملSyntactic priming in comprehension: Parallelism effects with and without coordination
Although previous research has shown a processing facilitation for conjoined phrases that share the same structure, it is currently not clear whether this parallelism advantage is specific to particular syntactic environments such as coordination, or whether it is an example of more general effect in sentence comprehension. Here, we report three eye-tracking experiments that test for parallelis...
