自动短语建设过程进行了调查，在第二语言（L2）学习者的法语（母语为德语）。事件相关的脑电位被记录下来，而参与者听语法或语义上正确或不正确的法语句子含有主语修饰关系从句。主语修饰关系从句中的短语结构违规导致主句中主语名词的指称加工困难（句法条件）与前否定（150- 600 ms）和后前否定（750-1500 ms）相关。违反选择性限制（语义条件）引起经典的N400（300-600 ms）。综上所述，我们的研究结果表明，自动句法短语建设过程也可以参与L2学习者，至少当词类别违反发生在句法强制性成分，如谓词介词短语。
Automatic phrase-building processes were investigated in second-language (L2) learners of French (native German speakers). Event-related brain potentials were recorded while participants listened to syntactically or semantically correct or incorrect French sentences containing a subject-modifying relative clause. Phrase structure violations in the subject-modifying relative clause leading to difficulties in reference processing of the subject noun in the main clause (syntactic condition) were associated with a frontal negativity (150-600ms) followed by a late anterior negativity (750-1500 ms). Violations of the selectional restriction (semantic condition) elicited the classical N400 (300-600 ms). Taken together, our results suggest that automatic syntactic phrase-building processes can also be involved in L2 learners, at least when the word category violation occurs in a syntactically obligatory constituent such as predicative prepositional phrase.
