Expect the Unexpected: Event-Related Brain Response to Morphosyntactic Violations.

Coulson, Seana; King, Jonathan W.; Kutas, Marta

Language and Cognitive Processes, v13 n1 p21-58 Feb 1998

A study investigated patterns of neurological event-related potentials (ERPs) elicited by morphosyntactic violations in 16 right-handed, English-speaking subjects. Manipulation of stimulus grammaticality and block probability led to ERP effects consistent with those in previous research on syntactic and semantic processing. Results also provide information on timing of working memory operations involved in sentence processing. (Author/MSE)
