Context effects in language comprehension: The role of emotional state and attention on semantic and syntactic processing [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022 Semantics and syntax are core components of language. The prevailing view was that processing of word meaning and syntactic processing happens in isolation from other systems.

Not just two languages: Using variation in language experience to understand how cognitive resources shape syntactic processing. [PDF]
PLoS ONEIndividuals who learn and use two languages come to that experience in many different ways. Recent studies have shown that to understand bilingualism, it is necessary to characterize the variation in experience that continually shapes the use of the two ...

Syntactic processing in music and language: Parallel abnormalities observed in congenital amusia [PDF]
NeuroImage: Clinical, 2018 Evidence is accumulating that similar cognitive resources are engaged to process syntactic structure in music and language. Congenital amusia – a neurodevelopmental disorder that primarily affects music perception, including musical syntax – provides a ...

Reduced Syntactic Processing Efficiency in Older Adults During Sentence Comprehension [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 Researchers have frequently reported an age-related decline in semantic processing during sentence comprehension. However, it remains unclear whether syntactic processing also declines or whether it remains constant as people age.

The Automatic but Flexible and Content-Dependent Nature of Syntax
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021 Syntactic processing has often been considered an utmost example of unconscious automatic processing. In this line, it has been demonstrated that masked words containing syntactic anomalies are processed by our brain triggering event related potential ...

Multiple constraints modulate the processing of Chinese reflexives in discourse
Glossa Psycholinguistics, 2023 This study investigates the real-time processing of Chinese reflexives ziji and ta-ziji in discourse when multiple constraints are involved. Our primary goal is to examine the time course of syntactic and non-syntactic constraints in reflexive resolution.
