Text Verification and Verb Factivity: An ERP Investigation
نویسندگان
چکیده
(1) Dan had been driving all night in order to get home for Thanksgiving. Before long, Dan drove past a truck/bus which was stopped with a flat tire. He couldn’t help but laugh because its spare tire must have been underneath everything and suitcases and boxes were strewn everywhere. Later, while Dan was sitting in a diner, drinking some coffee, a policeman came in and started a conversation with him. He implied/comprehended that the vehicle with the flat was/wasn’t a truck.

Annotating Factive Verbs
We have created a scheme for annotating corpora designed to capture relevant aspects of factivity in verb-complement constructions. Factivity constructions are a well-known linguistic phenomenon that embed presuppositions about the state of the world into a clause. These embedded presuppositions provide implicit information about facts assumed to be true in the world, and are thus potentially v...
متن کاملVerb-action versus role relations congruence effects: Evidence from ERPs in picture-sentence verification
Comprehenders can rapidly use both their linguistic knowledge and different kinds of information in visual context during language comprehension. Little is known, however, about the relative time courses and mechanisms by which different kinds of visual information influence language comprehension. We recorded event-related brain potentials (ERPs) as participants read a subject-verb-object sent...
متن کاملComprehending how visual context influences incremental sentence processing: Insights from ERPs and picture-sentence verification.
To re-establish picture-sentence verification-discredited possibly for its over-reliance on post-sentence response time (RT) measures-as a task for situated comprehension, we collected event-related brain potentials (ERPs) as participants read a subject-verb-object sentence, and RTs indicating whether or not the verb matched a previously depicted action. For mismatches (vs. matches), speeded RT...
متن کاملGetting the Gist is not Enough: An ERP Investigation of Word Learning from Context
We examined contextual effects on word learning using event-related brain potential (ERP) methodology. Adult participants first read known and unknown novel words in strongly and weakly constraining sentence contexts. Then, to assess acquisition of word meaning, they rated the plausibility of probe sentences in which these same words served as objects of a transitive verb. Plausibility effects ...
