| Research Abstract |
We have investigated a grammar for spoken sentences which integrates semantic, syntactic, morphological, and phonological processing from the standpoint of natural language processing and formal grammar. As our research went on, we found that observations of brain activities during sentence processing based on EEG and fMRI on one hand and its modeling based on Dynamic Syntax on the other are appropriate for our purpose. Therefore we emphasized this methodology in the latter half of our research period. Based on these methods, we confirmed our hypothesis that Japanese sentences are processed incrementally, predicting the word or phrase that come alter the current input.
