Fast syntax in the brain: Electrophysiological evidence from the rapid parallel visual presentation paradigm (RPVP).
Yun Wen, Jonathan Mirault, Jonathan Grainger
Abstract
, transposing any 2 adjacent central words still forms an ungrammatical sequence). An N400 reduction was observed in the transposed-word sequences relative to the control sequences. We interpret these N400 effects as evidence that an elementary syntactic representation can be rapidly constructed on the basis of parallel processing of word identities and their parts-of-speech.
