Number of sense effects of Chinese disyllabic compounds in the two hemispheres.
The current study manipulated the visual field and the number of senses of the first character in Chinese disyllabic compounds to investigate how the related senses (polysemy) of the constituted character in the compounds were represented and processed in the two hemispheres. The ERP results in experiment 1 revealed crossover patterns in the left hemisphere (LH) and the right hemisphere (RH). T...
متن کاملHemispheric processing of Chinese polysemy in the disyllabic verb/ noun compounds: an event-related potential study
Through the application of Chinese WordNet, the current study used the manipulation of visual field and the number of senses of the first character in Chinese disyllabic compounds to investigate the representation and the hemispheric processing of related senses in nouns and verbs. In the previous study, Huang et al. (2009) have found the ERP evidence to indicate single entry representation for...
متن کاملSyntactic priming of nouns and verbs in Chinese.
Syntactic priming of Chinese nouns and verbs was investigated in word recognition (cued shadowing of auditory targets) and production (picture naming). Disyllabic compound words were presented after syntactically congruent, incongruent, or neutral auditory contexts, with a zero delay between offset of the context and onset of the target. Significant priming was observed in both tasks, including...
متن کاملA Study on Semantic Word-Formation Rules of Chinese Nouns from the Perspective of Generative Lexicon Theory - - - A Case Study of Undirected Disyllable Compounds
This paper mainly applies the qualia structure theory to the study of compound nouns whose lexical meanings cannot be inferred from their morpheme meanings by taking some undirected disyllabic compound nouns as example from the Chinese Semantic Word-formation Database. The paper concludes some specific ways by which morpheme meanings can be integrated with lexical meanings. It is hoped that the...
متن کاملThe temporal signatures of semantic and phonological activations for Chinese sublexical processing: an event-related potential study.
A large number of Chinese characters are made up by pairing a semantic radical and a phonetic radical. The phonetic radical usually gives a phonological clue for the pronunciation of the whole character but does not contribute to its meaning. Using an event-related potential (ERP) measurement, the present study was able to trace the very intricate interplay between phonological and semantic inf...
