Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study tried to re-examine the present syntactic theories by electroencephalogram (EEG) experiments paying special attention to P600. Recent studies have revealed that an event-related potential (ERP) can be elicited by various linguistic phenomena. We performed an EEG experiment with Japanese sentences including quantifier floats as the experimental stimuli and discussed the correspondence between structural property and the ERPs. Our results indicated that the positivity by syntactic violation and that by integration were different in topography, and that the syntactic predictions made by the preceding input determined the spaciotemporal distribution of ERPs. This means that linguistic ERPs deeply depend on language processing in real time.
