Cross-linguistic differences and their impact on L2 sentence processing
Using a self-paced reading task, the present study investigates how highly proficient second language (L2) speakers of German with English as their native language process unambiguous wh-subject-extractions and wh-object-extractions in German. Previous monolingual research has shown that English and German exhibit different processing preferences for the type of wh-question under investigation,...
متن کاملThe Cross-linguistic Study of Sentence Production
The mechanisms underlying language production are often assumed to be universal, and hence not contingent on a speaker’s language. This assumption is problematic for at least two reasons. Given the typological diversity of the world’s languages, only a small subset of languages has actually been studied psycholinguistically. And, in some cases, these investigations have returned results that at...
متن کاملSentence and text comprehension: roles of linguistic structure.
Readers and listeners use linguistic structure in comprehending sentences and texts. We review research, mostly published in the past five years, that addresses the question of how they use it. We consider effects of syntactic, lexical, prosodic, morphological, semantic, and discourse structure, as well as reviewing research on how discourse context and frequency of experience, the contents of ...
متن کاملVision and Language in Cross-Linguistic Research on Sentence Production
A classic assumption in the cognitive sciences has been the existence of an invariant cognitive architecture underlying language processing. Perhaps for this reason, the early days of modern psycholinguistics saw little engagement with cross-language data. Indeed, despite the vitality of the discipline in the 1960s and 1970s, it is striking that the language in which experiments were conducted ...
متن کاملDo Not Resonate with Actions: Sentence Polarity Modulates Cortico-Spinal Excitability during Action-Related Sentence Reading
BACKGROUND Theories of embodied language suggest that the motor system is differentially called into action when processing motor-related versus abstract content words or sentences. It has been recently shown that processing negative polarity action-related sentences modulates neural activity of premotor and motor cortices. METHODS AND FINDINGS We sought to determine whether reading negative ...
