This paper demonstrates systematic cross-linguistic differences in the electrophysiological
correlates of conflicts between form and meaning (“semantic reversal anomalies”). These …

Neurobiology of Language explores the study of language, a field that has seen tremendous
progress in the last two decades. Key to this progress is the accelerating trend toward …

Do principles of language processing in the brain affect the way grammar evolves over time
or is language change just a matter of socio-historical contingency? While the balance of …

This study examined individual-level variability in N400 and P600 ERP correlates of native
and nonnative language sentence processing of semantic and grammar information. Twenty …

Agreement is a very important mechanism for language processing. Mainstream
psycholinguistic research on subject–verb agreement processing has emphasized the …

Agreement is one of the main devices used by languages to signal grammatical relations. In
this study, we investigated the neurophysiological processing correlates of subject‐verb …

The animacy distinction is deeply rooted in the language faculty. A key example is
differential object marking, the phenomenon where animate sentential objects receive …

Using concurrent electroencephalogram and eye movement measures to track natural
reading, this study shows that N400 effects reflecting predictability are dissociable from …

We present three event-related potential studies that investigated the contribution of
givenness and position-induced topicality (what a sentence is about) to information …

Most linguistic theories of language offer analysis of agreement describing the rules and
constraints involved in the computation and interpretation of this dependency. A good testing …
