We examined the effects of syntactic (tense) violations occurring on regularly versus
irregularly inflected verbs using event-related brain potentials (ERPs). Participants read …

The present paper is a first attempt to integrate the classical brain lesion behavioral
impairment approach of functional neuroanatomy and the electrophysiological brain …

Prior work has suggested that open-and closed-class words elicit negative components in
the event-related potential (ERP) that differ in timing and scalp distribution. We tested this …

An event-related brain potential experiment was carried out to investigate the influence of
semantic and syntactic context constraints on lexical selection and integration in spoken …

Recent work has shown that parsing processes can be influenced by detailed information
recovered from the lexicon (eg the subcategorisation class of verbs). However, it is not clear …

It is often a worthwhile exercise to step back from one's field of endeavor and to think in
broad terms about what its proper goals are, or perhaps what they should be. It seems to us …

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 …

METHODS Six male adults (age range 18-27, five right-handed, one left-handed)
participated in the experiment. While the subjects reclined comfortably in an easy chair …

Publisher Summary This chapter presents a discussion on syntactic parsing. Majority of
sentence processing research has continued to address relatively traditional topics such as …

Psycholinguistic theories assume an interaction between prosody and syntax during
language processing. Based on studies using mostly off-line methods, it is unclear whether …
