Semantics and the electrophysiology of meaning: Tense, aspect, event structure (2004, background): “Matters are further complicated by the finding that sustained anterior negativities are also elicited by constructions in which complexity at the syntax-semantics interface is increased, as in long-distance wh-dependencies [112, 146, 53, 48, 161].”
The linguistic processes underlying the P600 (2010, methodology): “Since the data showed a slow drift common to DC recordings, a detrending algorithm similar to the one reported in Fiebach et al. (2002) was used to correct for a common linear component.”
Neural mechanisms of language comprehension: challenges to syntax. (2007, background): “…(MacDonald et al., 1994; Tanenhaus et al., 1995), the P600 was considered to reflect the difficulty of syntactic integration once syntactic frames had already been activated and modulated by multiple sources of information during a single stage of parsing (Fiebach et al., 2002; Kaan et al., 2000).”
Grammatical processing in language learners (2006, result): “…the older children’s reaction times were as fast as the adults’ overall, the 10- to 11-year-olds showed the same nonadultlike pattern of preferences as did the younger high-span children, a preference for NP1 attachment irrespective of the type of preposition.1 This indicates that the observed…”
Processing wh-dependencies in a second language: a cross-modal priming study (2007, methodology): “Studies using event-related brain potentials (ERPs), for example, have found evidence for ‘maintained activation’ in L1 processing, in the shape of an ERP component (a sustained left-anterior negativity, or LAN) that has been claimed to index working memory cost, including the memory cost associated”
Neuroimaging of syntax and syntactic processing. (2006, unknown): “This processing assumption is supported by electrophysiological data; a sustained negativity over left anterior recording sites is reported for object-first sentences, starting when the displayed element is encountered and ending at the position from which it was moved [47].”
The influence of first language on the processing of wh-movement in English as a second language (2005, background): “In the L1 processing literature, considerable evidence exists that the parser posits wh-gaps as early as possible (e.g., Stowe, 1986; Gibson and Hickok, 1993; Fiebach et al., 2002).”
Getting real about semantic illusions: rethinking the functional role of the P600 in language comprehension. (2012, background): “…wonders who the performers in the concert imitate…’ also produced a P600-effect relative to a sentence lacking such a dependency (as in: ‘Emily wonders whether the performers in the concert imitate…’) (see also Felser et al., 2003; Fiebach et al., 2002; Gouvea et al., 2010; Phillips et al., 2005).”
Eye movements and on-line comprehension processes (2007, background): “, 2003), and ERP (Fiebach et al., 2002; Kaan et al., 2000; Vos et al., 2001) suggests that syntactic processing is influenced by memory load, very few eyetracking studies have focused specifically on this issue (though see Traxler et al.”
The role of left inferior frontal and superior temporal cortex in sentence comprehension: localizing syntactic and semantic processes. (2003, unknown): “…to note that the latter process is ref lected in the ERP in a sustained frontal negativity , with a maximum over the left hemisphere and spanning the time from the perception of the displaced element to its original position (King and Kutas, 1995; Kluender et al., 1998; Fiebach et al., 2002).”
An ERP study of the processing of subject and object relative clauses in Japanese (2008, background): “In addition, that study and a few others have reported the combination of both LAN and P600 effects in wh-questions in both English (Phillips, Kazanina, & Abada, 2005 ) and German (Fiebach, Schlesewsky, & Friederici, 2001 , 2002 ).”
