Relativized Minimality: Von der Theorie zur Empirie. Der Einfluss grammatischer Merkmale auf das online und offline Verständnis von Relativsätzen bei Erwachsenen und Kindern im Deutschen

通过测试德语关系从句(RC)在语言加工(健康成人)、习得(典型发育中的儿童)和分解(失语症成人和有特定语言障碍的儿童)中的作用，这项建议聚焦于相对最小原则(RM)在心理和神经语言学领域的最新扩展。这是第一次在德语中测试扩展的RM方法，这种语言允许设计严格的主语/宾语提取关系的最小对，并调查语法特征(例如格和数)对RC理解的影响。除了听觉的离线理解外，在线的RC加工将通过在一个指称识别任务(视觉世界范式)中监测眼动来研究。这种方法提供了一扇窗口，让我们了解感觉理解的受损和未受损。因此，它使我们能够调查不同的语法特征在哪些阶段与RC加工相关，以及RM在多大程度上能够捕捉到这些特征对RC理解的影响。因此，这些结果将有助于从理论上描述RC压缩及其在语言障碍(失语症和SLI)中的分解。因此，RC理解中的各种心理和新语言现象可以被嵌入到一个单一的、全面的和全面的理论解释中。

This proposal focuses on recent extensions of Relativized Minimality (RM) to psycho- and neurolinguistics by testing German relative clauses (RC) in language processing (healthy adults), acquisition (typically-developing children) and breakdown (adults with aphasia and children with Specific Language Impair-ment). This is the first study testing the extended RM approach in German, a language that allows to de-sign strict minimal pairs of subject/object-extracted relatives and to investigate the impact of grammatical features (e.g. case and number) on RC comprehension. In addition to auditory off-line comprehension, on-line processing of RC will be investigated by monitoring eye movement during a referent-identification task (visual world paradigm). This method provides a window into unfolding unimpaired and impaired sen-tence comprehension. Therefore, it allows us to investigate at which stages different grammatical features become relevant for RC processing and to what extent RM can capture the impact of these features on RC comprehension. Hence, the results will contribute to the theoretical characterization of RC compre-hension and its breakdown in language impairments (aphasia and SLI). Thus, various psycho- and neu-rolinguistic phenomena in RC comprehension can be embedded into a single, comprehensive and over-arching theoretical account.
