Semantic Processing Persists despite Anomalous Syntactic Category: ERP Evidence from Chinese Passive Sentences
The syntax-first model and the parallel/interactive models make different predictions regarding whether syntactic category processing has a temporal and functional primacy over semantic processing. To further resolve this issue, an event-related potential experiment was conducted on 24 Chinese speakers reading Chinese passive sentences with the passive marker BEI (NP1 + BEI + NP2 + Verb). This ...
متن کاملAn ERP study of syntactic anomaly processing in Mandarin sentences
The present study addresses (1) whether Chinese classifier-noun integration is syntactic or semantic in nature, and (2) whether the Anterior Negativity in brainwaves is a separable component indexing automatic morphosyntactic processing (Hagoort, 2003) or instead results from overlapping N400 and P600 components (Tanner, 2014). In Chinese, classifiers (e.g., a sheet of) must be used whenever an...
متن کاملERP evidence for telicity effects on syntactic processing in garden-path sentences.
Verbs contain multifaceted information about both the semantics of an action, and potential argument structures. Linguistic theory classifies verbs according to whether the denoted action has an inherent (telic) end-point (fall, awaken), or whether it is considered homogenous, or atelic (read, worship). The aim of our study was to examine how this distinction influences on-line sentence process...
متن کاملSemantic and syntactic processing in Chinese sentence comprehension: evidence from event-related potentials.
An ERP experiment was conducted to explore semantic and syntactic processes as well as their interplay in Chinese sentence comprehension. Participants were auditorily presented with Chinese ba sentences, which were either correct, semantically incorrect, syntactically incorrect, or both semantically and syntactically incorrect. The syntactic violation, which was created by eliminating the objec...
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...
