Imaging the past: neural activation in frontal and temporal regions during regular and irregular past-tense processing.
This article presents fMRI evidence bearing on dual-mechanism versus connectionist theories of inflectional morphology. Ten participants were scanned at 4 Tesla as they covertly generated the past tenses of real and nonce (nonword) verbs presented auditorily. Regular past tenses (e.g., walked, wugged) and irregular past tenses (e.g., took, slept) produced similar patterns of activation in the p...
متن کاملActivating Verb Semantics from the Regular and Irregular Past Tense
Theoretical accounts of the processing of inflectional morphology make implicit, untested assumptions about the activation of verb semantics from inflected verbs. This research used semantic priming to investigate the extent to which regular and irregular past tense forms activate verb semantics, in comparison to the verb stem. The results show that past tense forms activate verb semantics to t...
متن کاملDifferentiating the neural language system: Contrasting the regular and irregular past tense
A central issue in cognitive neuroscience is whether the left perisylvian language system is organised as a single undifferentiated process, or whether it responds preferentially to different types of linguistic input (Marslen-Wilson, & Tyler, 1997; Ullman et al., 1997). The distinction between the regular and irregular English past tense has played a central role in this debate because of the ...
متن کاملLesions impairing regular versus irregular past tense production☆
We investigated selective impairments in the production of regular and irregular past tense by examining language performance and lesion sites in a sample of twelve stroke patients. A disadvantage in regular past tense production was observed in six patients when phonological complexity was greater for regular than irregular verbs, and in three patients when phonological complexity was closely ...
متن کاملChildren's judgments of regular and irregular novel past-tense forms: new data on the English past-tense debate.
Is language governed by formal rules or by analogy to stored exemplars? The acquisition of the English past tense has long played a central role in this debate. In the present study, children rated the acceptability of a regular and an irregular past-tense form of each of 40 novel verbs (e.g., fleeped, flept) using a 5-point scale. The novel verbs were chosen to vary continuously along the orth...
