In recent years, there has been an upsurge of interest and debate about whether social insects-central-place foragers such as bees and ants-acquire and use cognitive maps, which enable the animal to steer novel courses between familiar sites . Especially in honey bees, it has been claimed that these insects indeed possess such "general landscape memories" and use them in a "map-like" way . Here...

Background and Objective: Deprenyl is a drug for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, where the dopaminergic neurons are the target of this drug. Several reports also documented that deprenyl has an effect on the sensory and motor neurons. There are some reports about the mode of action of deprenyl on m...

In this paper, I argue for a declarative description of the syntax and semantics of punctuation marks (in English) couched in a feature/uniication-based phrase structure formalism, describe how Nunberg's (1990) syntactic analysis of punctuation can be combined with Dale's (1991) suggested semantic analysis within this framework, and present experimental evidence that 1) the resulting text gramm...

The following text is a piece of my forthcoming book (updated with respect to the first version that was posted on the EGG site) Scheer, Tobias forth. How morpho-syntax talks to phonology. A survey of extra-phonological information in phonology since Trubetzkoy's Grenzsignale. Berlin: Mouton de Gruyter. The text is "wild" in the sense that cross-references to other pieces of the book are not re...

Because of the elusive nature of pitch accents and prosodic phrasing, the role of prosody has been neglected too often in the description of the syntax-phonology interface. This paper shows that the syntactic structure of German sentences is shaped by the formation of prosodic phrases, and that many puzzles are solved if prosodic phrasing and accents are systematically considered in formal gram...

We investigated whether phonological relationships at the lexical level affect syntactic encoding during sentence production. Cleland and Pickering (2003) showed that syntactic priming effects are enhanced by semantic, but not phonological relations between lexical items, suggesting that there are no effects of phonology on syntactic encoding. Here we report four experiments investigating the i...

Abstract The literature has mixed reports on whether the N170, an early visual ERP response to words, signifies orthographic and/or phonological processing, and these effects are moderated by script language expertise. In this study, native Chinese readers, Japanese–Chinese, Korean–Chinese bilingual readers performed a one-back repetition detection task with single characters that differed in r...
