Sensitivity to Inflectional Morphology in a Non-native Language: Evidence From ERPs

The effect of phonological realization of inflectional morphology on verbal agreement in French: evidence from ERPs.

The present study examined the impact of the phonological realization of morphosyntactic agreement within the inflectional phrase (IP) in written French, as revealed by ERPs. In two independent experiments, we varied the presence vs. absence of phonological cues to morphological variation. Of interest was whether a graded ERP response to these different conditions could be found in native speak...

Polarity Sensitivity in Inflectional Morphology

Sensitivity to inflectional morphology in agrammatism: investigation of a highly inflected language.

We present the results of a study with six Serbo-Croatian-speaking agrammatic patients on a test of inflectional morphology in which subjects judged whether spoken sentences were grammatical or ungrammatical. Sensitivity to two kinds of syntactic features was investigated in these aphasic patients: (1) subcategorization rules for transitive verbs (which must be followed by a noun in the accusat...

Bulgarian Inflectional Morphology in Universal Networking Language

The paper presents a web-based application of semantic networks to model Bulgarian inflectional morphology. It demonstrates the general ideas, principles, and problems of inflectional grammar knowledge representation used for encoding Bulgarian inflectional morphology in Universal Networking Language (UNL). The analysis of UNL formalism is outlined in terms of its expressive power to present in...

Processing inflectional and derivational morphology: electrophysiological evidence from Spanish.

The goal of this paper is to study possible differences between the processing of inflectional vs. derivational morphology in Spanish word recognition using electrophysiological measures. A lexical decision task to target words preceded by morphological-related (or unrelated) primes was used. The orthographic and phonological overlap and the grammatical class for the two experimental conditions...
