Online Processing of Temporal Agreement in a Grammatical Tone Language: An ERP Study
Frontiers in Psychology. 2021. Vol. 12. Article 638716.
Tsiwah F., Bastiaanse R., van Rij J., Popov S.
Previous electrophysiological studies that have examined temporal agreement violations in (Indo-European) languages that use grammatical affixes to mark time reference, have found a Left Anterior Negativity (LAN) and/or P600 ERP components, reflecting morpho-syntactic and syntactic processing, respectively. The current study investigates the electrophysiological processing of temporal relations in an African language (Akan) that uses grammatical tone, rather than morphological inflection, for time reference. Twenty-four native speakers of Akan listened to sentences with time reference violations. Our results demonstrate that a violation of a present context by a past verb yields a P600 time-locked to the verb. There was no such effect when a past context was violated by a present verb. In conclusion, while there are similarities in both Akan and Indo-European languages, as far as the modulation of the P600 effect is concerned, the nature of this effect seems to be different for these languages.

Differentiation in foreign language teaching is essential for accommodating individual trajectories of communicative competence development; however, its implementation is hindered by teachers' lack of time, resources, and training. Artificial intelligence (AI) helps overcome these barriers by enabling differentiation across content, process, and product. The article illustrates practical techniques supported by AI, including sample prompts and ...

Precedent as a linguistic phenomenon is a complex phenomenon that can create a comprehensive image with
minimal linguistic costs due to an extensive cognitive base. The mechanism involved in the use of precedent phenomena is similar to the process of metaphorization, since two cognitive spheres are involved, one of which is a resource base for describing ...

This paper examines constructions that express universal quantification in the Poshkart variety of the Chuvash language. This variety has five quantifier words for universals: por, mënbor, pëdëm, kaʐni, and veɕ. These words may combine with an additive or emphatic clitic, a possessive marker, or the instrumental case. The paper describes the semantic distribution of universal ...

This article examines the semantic and pragmatic transformations of cognitive linguistic terms influenced by mass media. When introduced into non-specialized discourse, a term can lose its connection with its scientific concept and develop new, common meanings through processes of narrowing, broadening, differentiation, attraction, metaphorical and metonymic transfer, and more. This results in an incorrect representation ...

Individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) have difficulty with regulating their emotions and show reduced functioning of inhibitory control. It was reported previously that OCD patients had delayed antisaccade response and increased error rate only when affective pictures with negative valence served as fixation stimuli in “the antisaccade emotional fixation task”. Complementary to the previous research, ...

During a conversation, we are able to switch between different registers, which affects linguistic characteristics of the discourse. However, little is known about the influence of these changes on language processing. In the present study, we investigated the electrophysiological effect of register switching, reflected in vocabulary use (standard vs. non-standard vocabulary, e.g., slang). We analysed ...

During verbal communication, interlocutors rely on both linguistic (e.g., words, syntax) and extralinguistic (e.g., voice quality) information. The neural mechanisms of extralinguistic information processing are particularly poorly understood. To address this, we used EEG and recorded eventrelated brain potentials while participants listened to Russian pronoun–verb phrases presented in either male or female voice. Crucially, we ...

Event-related potentials during facial emotion recognition have been studied for more than twenty years. Nowadays, there has been a growing interest in the use of naturalistic stimuli. This research was aimed, therefore, at studying event-related potentials (ERP) during recognition of dynamic facial neutral-to-emotional expressions, more ecologically valid than static faces. We recorded the ERP of ...
