Representation and Processing of Non-Finites in L1 and L2 German

在后续阶段，我们打算解决第一个项目阶段的发现，这表明从类型学上提出的非限定词类可能在心理语言学上是真实的。在一系列启动实验中，我们想要检查德语转换名词、不定式和分词II是否被类似地表示和处理，以及它们在词类成员方面是否具有同质性。此外，我们还想探讨非限定词在词法上是派生还是屈折形式，或者它们是否代表了一个中间范畴，不仅涉及它们的词类状态(即动词和名词之间)，而且还涉及它们的构成(派生与屈折)。我们还希望继续对母语人士和高级语言学习者进行比较，以深入了解第一语言和第二语言中明显相同的形态复杂形式在表征和加工方面可能存在的差异。

In the follow-up period, we intend to address the finding of the first project phase which indicated that the typologically proposed word-category of non-finites might be psycholinguisticly real. In a series of priming experiments, we want to examine whether German conversion nouns, infinitives, and participles II are similarly represented and processed, and whether they have homogeneous properties in terms of their word class membership. Furthermore, we want to explore whether non-finites are morphologically derivations or inflected forms, or whether they may represent an intermediate category not only with respect to their word classes status (i.e., between verbs and nouns), but also with respect to their formation (derivation vs. inflection). We also want to continue the comparison between native speakers and advanced language learners to gain insights into possible differences in the representation and processing of overtly identical morphologically complex forms in L1 and L2.
