When syntax meets semantics

TC Gunter, LA Stowe, G Mulder - Psychophysiology, 1997 - Wiley Online Library

Brain potentials and syntactic violations revisited: No evidence for specificity of the syntactic positive shift

TF Münte, HJ Heinze, M Matzke, BM Wieringa… - Neuropsychologia, 1998 - Elsevier
One of the current issues in the investigation of language by means of event-related brain
