An alternative perspective on “semantic P600” effects in language comprehension
The literature on the electrophysiology of language comprehension has recently seen a very
prominent discussion of “semantic P600” effects, which have been observed, for example, in …

Brain signatures of syntactic and semantic processes during children's language development
Developmental aspects of language comprehension were investigated using event-related
brain potentials. Children between the ages of 6 and 13 listened to passive sentences that …

The extended argument dependency model: a neurocognitive approach to sentence comprehension across languages.
Real-time language comprehension is a principal cognitive ability and thereby relates to
central properties of the human cognitive architecture. Yet how do the presumably universal …

Do grammars minimize dependency length?
A well‐established principle of language is that there is a preference for closely related
words to be close together in the sentence. This can be expressed as a preference for …

The neurophysiology of language processing shapes the evolution of grammar: Evidence from case marking
Do principles of language processing in the brain affect the way grammar evolves over time
or is language change just a matter of socio-historical contingency? While the balance of …

An ERP study of the processing of subject and object relative clauses in Japanese
M Ueno, SM Garnsey - Language and Cognitive Processes, 2008 - Taylor & Francis
Using reading times and event-related brain potentials (ERPs), we investigated the
processing of Japanese subject and object relative clauses (SRs/ORs). Previous research …

Multi-dimensional contributions to garden path strength: Dissociating phrase structure from case marking
Psycholinguistic investigations of reanalysis phenomena have typically focused on revisions
of phrase structure. Here, we identify a further subcomponent of syntactic reanalysis, namely …
