초록
In an attempt to better understand how linguistic dependencies areconstructed in online sentence processing, we examined the processing ofthe three Korean anaphors caki, caki-casin, and casin using event-relatedpotentials (ERPs). In our study we used gender-denoting kinship nounsto dictate either short- (SD) or long-distance (LD) binding of theanaphors at issue. The results showed that in the LD relative to SDcondition, the critical gender-denoting noun after caki elicited a positivityat the fronto-centro-parietal region in the 600-650 ms interval (i.e., a P600effect), that after caki-casin also evoked a positivity at the centro-parietalregion in the 550-650 ms interval, but those after casin revealed anegativity at the anterior region in the 600-650 ms interval (i.e., an LANeffect). We interpret these responses as indicating that in the LD relativeto SD condition, the late (550-650 ms) ERP responses associated with cakireflect complexity-related syntactic revision, those with caki-casin reflectsyntactic repair, and those with casin reflect morphologicalviolation/working memory difficulty. These patterns of results alsoimplicate a role for structured search during online sentencecomprehension, whereby certain structural positions are accessed withoutregard to their binding-related semantic content during the constructionof antecedent-anaphor dependencies for the three Korean anaphorsinvestigated in this paper.
Abstract
In an attempt to better understand how linguistic dependencies areconstructed in online sentence processing, we examined the processing ofthe three Korean anaphors caki, caki-casin, and casin using event-relatedpotentials (ERPs). In our study we used gender-denoting kinship nounsto dictate either short- (SD) or long-distance (LD) binding of theanaphors at issue. The results showed that in the LD relative to SDcondition, the critical gender-denoting noun after caki elicited a positivityat the fronto-centro-parietal region in the 600-650 ms interval (i.e., a P600effect), that after caki-casin also evoked a positivity at the centro-parietalregion in the 550-650 ms interval, but those after casin revealed anegativity at the anterior region in the 600-650 ms interval (i.e., an LANeffect). We interpret these responses as indicating that in the LD relativeto SD condition, the late (550-650 ms) ERP responses associated with cakireflect complexity-related syntactic revision, those with caki-casin reflectsyntactic repair, and those with casin reflect morphologicalviolation/working memory difficulty. These patterns of results alsoimplicate a role for structured search during online sentencecomprehension, whereby certain structural positions are accessed withoutregard to their binding-related semantic content during the constructionof antecedent-anaphor dependencies for the three Korean anaphorsinvestigated in this paper.
