A Critical Review of ERP and fMRI Evidence on L2 Syntactic Processing
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kotz, Sonja A. – Brain and Language, 2009
The current review focuses on recent event-related brain potential (ERPs) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in L2 syntactic processing data. To this end, critical factors influencing both the dynamics of neural mechanisms (ERPs) and critical functional brain correlates (fMRI) are discussed. These entail the critical period…

Speech-Sound Duration Processing in a Second Language is Specific to Phonetic Categories
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Nenonen, Sari; Shestakova, Anna; Huotilainen, Minna; Naatanen, Risto – Brain and Language, 2005
The mismatch negativity (MMN) component of the auditory event-related potential was used to determine the effect of native language, Russian, on the processing of speech-sound duration in a second language, Finnish, that uses duration as a cue for phonological distinction. The native-language effect was compared with Finnish vowels that either can…
