心理语言学研究的核心问题之一是句法分析过程中动词的词类信息与动词论元结构（如及物性）信息之间的关系。在两个实验（视觉与听觉呈现）使用事件相关脑电位（ERP），我们解决了这个问题，提出的句子中，关键字同时实现了一个词的类别和及物性侵犯。事件相关电位的句子与这两种类型的违规聚集的模式，句子与一个词类别的违规，但不同的模式引起的参数结构违规孤立，因为只有后者引起的N400 ERP组件。只有当相应句子的短语结构正确时，论元结构违规才会引发N400，这一发现表明，动词的词类别信息的成功整合在其论元结构信息的应用之前。(C)2003 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
One of the core issues in psycholinguistic research concerns the relationship between word category information and verb-argument structure (e.g. transitivity) information of verbs in the process of sentence parsing. In two experiments (visual versus auditory presentation) using event-related brain potentials (ERPs), we addressed this question by presenting sentences in which the critical word simultaneously realized both a word category and a transitivity violation. ERPs for sentences with both types of violation clustered with the patterns for sentences with a word category violation only, but were different from the patterns elicited by argument structure violations in isolation, since only the latter elicited an N400 ERP component. The finding that an argument structure violation evoked an N400 only if the phrase structure of the respective sentence was correct suggests that a successful integration of the word category information of a verb functionally precedes the application of its argument structure information.
