Abstract:
The talk focuses on a temporal and functional
characterization of semantic and syntactic processes in auditory
language comprehension. A series of ERP-experiments will be
presented which suggests that the information about a word's
syntactic category is processed particularly early and in a highly
automatic fashion. Furthermore, this information seems to be
processed independent from lexical-semantic information. The
results are discussed in the light of other recent psycholinguistic
models on the coordination of semantic and syntactic
processes.
