Speeded recognition of ungrammaticality: Double violations*
نویسندگان
چکیده
A model of sentence comprehension postulating that Subject-Verb-Object relations are specified prior to Noun-Adjective relations received support from a study of the speed at which sentences with various kinds of violations could be rejected. Compatible with the sequential model was the finding that Noun-Verb and Adjective-Noun double violations did not result in shorter RTs than Noun-Verb single violations even though sentences with double violations were judged to be less acceptable.

Processing linguistic complexity and grammaticality in the left frontal cortex.
We used event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging to directly compare the hemodynamic responses associated with varying degrees of linguistic complexity with those engendered by the processing of ungrammatical utterances. We demonstrate a dissociation within the left inferior frontal cortex between the deep frontal operculum, which responds to syntactic violations, and a core region o...
متن کاملInterplay between syntax and semantics during sentence comprehension: ERP effects of combining syntactic and semantic violations.
This study investigated the effects of combined semantic and syntactic violations in relation to the effects of single semantic and single syntactic violations on language-related event-related brain potential (ERP) effects (N400 and P600/SPS). Syntactic violations consisted of a mismatch in grammatical gender or number features of the definite article and the noun in sentence-internal or sente...
متن کاملOffline Language-free Writer Identification based on Speeded-up Robust Features
This article proposes offline language-free writer identification based on speeded-up robust features (SURF), goes through training, enrollment, and identification stages. In all stages, an isotropic Box filter is first used to segment the handwritten text image into word regions (WRs). Then, the SURF descriptors (SUDs) of word region and the corresponding scales and orientations (SOs) are extr...
متن کاملExtraction, Gradedness, and Optimality * Studentship and of a Daad Doctoral Grant (program Hsp Iii)
Recently, a number of researchers have proposed the use of experimental methods to elicit acceptability judgments, thus addressing the shortcomings of the conventional intuitive way of gathering linguistic data (cf. Bard et al. 1996; Cowart 1997; Schütze 1996). The use of experimental methods allows to handle interand intraspeaker variation and to control for known biases on judgment behavior (...
متن کاملProcessing Complex NP Islands in Hebrew
Since Ross's (1967) work on island constraints until many present day works, the treatment of island phenomena is mostly based on universal constraints on the grammar. However, it has been claimed that the unacceptability of certain island violations can be explained by extragrammatical factors, such as processing di culties. The advantage of this approach is that the unacceptability is explain...
