Within the cognitive sciences, most researchers assume that it is the job of linguists to
investigate how language is represented, and that they do so largely by building theories …

We investigated individual differences in the neural substrates of morphosyntactic
processing among monolingual English speakers using event-related potentials (ERPs) …

Structural priming offers a powerful method for experimentally investigating the mental
representation of linguistic structure. We clarify the nature of our proposal, justify the …

Late second language (L2) learners report difficulties in specific linguistic areas such as
syntactic processing, presumably because brain plasticity declines with age (following the …

We examine the effects of morphosyntactic marking and selectional restrictions of predicates
on conceptual and grammatical animacy. We argue in favour of animacy as an ontological …

Wann und warum werden direkte Objekte im Spanischen mit „a “markiert? Die Frage nach
der differentiellen Objektmarkierung wird in diesem Buch mit Fokus auf unbelebte Objekte …

Branigan & Pickering (B&P) advocate the use of syntactic priming to investigate linguistic
representations and argue that it overcomes several purported deficiencies of acceptability …

Previous research has shown L1 attrition to be restricted to structures at the interfaces
between syntax and pragmatics, but not to occur with syntactic properties that do not involve …

The N400 component of the event-related brain potential is a neural signal of processing
difficulty. In the language domain, it is widely believed to be sensitive to the degree to which …

Does first language (L1) word order affect the processing of non-canonical but grammatical
syntactic structures in second language (L2) comprehension? In the present study, we test …
