本研究利用事件相关电位（ERP）对德语中的提升结构和主语控制结构进行了研究。我们最显著的结果是，在提升结构的空主语位置上引起的ERPs明显不同于在其他方面相同的主语控制结构的相应位置上引起的ERPs，前者产生更强的P600。我们认为，这一结果提供了一个电生理相关的NP痕迹和PRO之间的理论区别。
In the present study we made use of Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) to examine raising and subject control constructions in German. Our most salient result is that the ERPs elicited at the empty subject position of a raising construction are clearly different from those elicited at the corresponding position of an otherwise identical subject control construction, the former producing a stronger P600. We argue that this result provides an electrophysiological correlate of the theoretical distinction between NP trace and PRO.
