This study examines long-standing claims that L2 learners rely more on non-grammatical
than on grammatical information during sentence processing compared to native speakers …

This article reports two ERP studies that exploited the classifier system of Mandarin Chinese
to investigate semantic prediction. In Mandarin, in certain contexts, a noun has to be …

Individual differences in second language (L2) learning can offer insights into the
neurobiological bases of learning aptitude. One neurophysiological marker of inter …

Animacy is an important semantic assignment principle in both gender and numeral
classifier systems. Linguistic research has shown that animacy is not a simple binary feature …

This paper reports an event–related potential (ERP) study examining the processing of
“gapless” relative clauses (RCs), normal (“gapped”) RCs, attributive clauses, Subject–Verb …

A key issue in the area of language processing is the mechanism underlying the processing
of animacy information during sentence comprehension. In this ERP study, we investigated …

There is a long-standing discussion on whether new functional categories (eg inflection,

I would first like to thank Enriqueta for being the best advisor I could've hoped for. I was lucky
enough to get involved in research early in my undergraduate career and I can't imagine …

Native-like cognitive-neural mechanisms for syntactic processing have been shown to be
less available for L2 learners. To compensate, learners may rely on lexical-semantic …
