项目摘要
Comprehending language is an incremental process in which the listener attempts to integrate each incoming word into the structure and meaning of the sentence as it unfolds. Increasingly, this process is also argued to involve the prediction of upcoming parts of the sentence. However, open questions remain regarding what type of linguistic information is used in order to generate predictions, and to what extent individuals differ in their ability to engage in prediction. This dissertation research project uses electroencephalography (EEG), a brain-imaging technique with millisecond-level timing resolution, to examine whether the brain utilizes predictive cues to anticipate a complex syntactic structure in Mandarin. This study also examines to what extent the ability to predict complex structures depends on verbal and non-verbal cognitive abilities, providing new insights regarding the neurological basis of language and the cognitive abilities that modulate success in language comprehension.This project examines what type of linguistic information is used to predict upcoming structure during processing, focusing on the prediction of relative clauses in Mandarin (e.g., the string "Mary wrote" in "the book Mary wrote"). In Mandarin, it is only at the end of the phrase that there is any marker indicating that the words form a relative clause; therefore, predicting relative clauses in advance may be critical for processing these sentences without disruption. This project examines whether tense expressions that appear early in a sentence may provide a predictive cue indicating an upcoming relative clause. Brain activity will be recorded via EEG while participants read sentences in Mandarin, in order to track the dynamics of predictive processing throughout the sentence. Participants will also complete a battery of tests in order to examine whether engaging in structure prediction is modulated by individual differences in linguistic and cognitive abilities, shedding light on the individual properties which may affect language comprehension.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
理解语言是一个增量过程,在该过程中,听众试图将每个传入的单词集成到句子展开时的结构和含义中。越来越多的过程也被认为涉及句子即将到来的部分的预测。但是,关于使用哪种类型的语言信息来产生预测,以及个人参与预测的能力有所不同。该论文研究项目使用脑电图(EEG),这是一种具有毫秒级时机解决方案的大脑成像技术,以检查大脑是否利用预测性提示来预测普通话中复杂的句法结构。这项研究还检查了预测复杂结构的能力在多大程度上取决于言语和非语言认知能力,提供了有关语言神经学基础以及调节语言成功成功的认知能力的新见解。该项目研究了哪种类型的语言信息用于在处理过程中预测玛丽(Mary of Mary of Mary of Mary of Mary in Marrian ny Marrian''(E.G)(Marrin in Marrian''(E.G),'''''''''(E.G.写道”)。在普通话中,只有在短语的末尾才有任何标记,表明单词形成相对子句。因此,事先预测相对子句对于处理这些句子而不会中断至关重要。该项目检查句子早期出现的时态表达是否可以提供一个预测性提示,表明即将到来的相对条款。在参与者阅读普通话的句子时,将通过脑电图记录大脑活动,以跟踪整个句子中预测性处理的动态。参与者还将完成一系列测试,以检查是否参与结构预测是否受语言和认知能力的个体差异的调节,阐明了可能影响语言理解的个体属性。这项奖项反映了NSF的法定任务,并被认为是通过基金会的知识绩效和广泛影响来评估的,并被认为是值得的支持。
