Sentence Integration Processes: An ERP Study of Chinese Sentence Comprehension with Relative Clauses
Peer reviewed
Direct linkYang, Chin Lung; Perfetti, Charles A.; Liu, Ying – Brain and Language, 2010
In an event-related potentials (ERPs) study, we examined the comprehension of different types of Chinese (Mandarin) relative clauses (object vs. subject-extracted) to test the universality and language specificity of sentence comprehension processes. Because Chinese lacks morphosyntactic cues to sentence constituent relations, it allows a test of…

Meteyard, Lotte; Patterson, Karalyn – Brain and Language, 2009
In order to explore the impact of a degraded semantic system on the structure of language production, we analysed transcripts from autobiographical memory interviews to identify naturally-occurring speech errors by eight patients with semantic dementia (SD) and eight age-matched normal speakers. Relative to controls, patients were significantly…

Wallentin, M.; Ostergaard, S.; Lund, T.E.; Ostergaard, L.; Roepstorff, A. – Brain and Language, 2005
Conveying complex mental scenarios is at the heart of human language. Advances in cognitive linguistics suggest this is mediated by an ability to activate cognitive systems involved in non-linguistic processing of spatial information. In this fMRI-study, we compare sentences with a concrete spatial meaning to sentences with an abstract meaning.…

Anderson, J.E.; Holcomb, P.J. – Brain and Language, 2005
In two experiments the effects of word repetition, synonymy, and coreference on event-related brain potentials during text processing were studied. Participants read one (Experiment 1) or two sentence (Experiment 2) texts in which critical nouns were preceded by the definite (the) or indefinite (a) articles. Experiment 1 was run as a control to…

Cooke, Ayanna; Grossman, Murray; DeVita, Christian; Gonzalez-Atavales, Julio; Moore, Peachie; Chen, Willis; Gee, James; Detre, John – Brain and Language, 2006
Our model of sentence comprehension includes at least grammatical processes important for structure-building, and executive resources such as working memory that support these grammatical processes. We hypothesized that a core network of brain regions supports grammatical processes, and that additional brain regions are activated depending on the…

Hochstadt, Jesse; Nakano, Hiroko; Lieberman, Philip; Friedman, Joseph – Brain and Language, 2006
Studies of sentence comprehension deficits in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients suggest that language processing involves circuits connecting subcortical and cortical regions. Anatomically segregated neural circuits appear to support different cognitive and motor functions. To investigate which functions are implicated in PD comprehension…
