| Research Abstract |
We conducted Event Related Potential (ERP) measurement experiments with the aim at revealing the mental and neurological mechanisms employed in the word-level language processing. More specifically, we examined the processing of the so-called sase-causative, a type of complex predicates which exhibit bi-clausal properties, and of verb conjugation patterns, and obtained results suggesting that two different mechanisms of rule-based computation and associative memory are at work in the word-level processing.
