我们在处理包含不同类型填充间隙依赖的明确德语句子期间记录了事件相关的大脑电位(ERP)。研究发现,相对于无间隙控制条件,主题化结构和 wh 问题在处理子分类动词之前会引发左前否定 (LAN)。在子分类动词处,包含 wh 依赖性的句子产生相对于主题化结构的顶叶积极性 (P600)。这些结果支持这样的主张:可分离的解析过程涉及句法依赖性的处理,基于工作记忆的过程反映在 LAN 中,并且将填充器与其子分类器集成的相对困难反映在 P600 中。研究发现,集成成本而非内存成本受到所涉及的填充间隙依赖性类型的影响。 (C) 2003 年爱思唯尔科学(美国)。版权所有。
We recorded event-related brain potentials (ERPs) during the processing of unambiguous German sentences containing different types of filler-gap dependency. Both topicalization constructions and wh-questions were found to elicit a left-anterior negativity (LAN) prior to the processing of the subcategorizing verb, relative to a gap-free control condition. At the subcategorizing verb, sentences containing a wh-dependency produced a parietal positivity (P600) relative to topicalization structures. These results support the claim that separable parsing processes are involved in the processing of syntactic dependencies, with working memory based processes being reflected in an LAN, and the relative difficulty of integrating the filler with its subcategorizer reflected in a P600. Integration cost but not memory cost was found to be influenced by the type of filler-gap dependency involved. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science (USA). All rights reserved.
