- Abstract
- This study investigated brain responses to verbal action mismatches (e.g. The brother catches/*bites the sister) and role relation mismatches (e.g. The sister catches the brother) in a picture-sentence verification task in Korean using event-related potentials (ERPs). EEG data collected from 30 native Korean speakers revealed a large N400 at the verb for the action mismatch, but an early negativity at the mismatched case-marker of the first NP as well as sustained negativity at the verb for the role mismatch. These results conform to the English-based data (i.e. Knoeferle et al., 2014. Different mechanisms for role relations versus verb-action congruence effects: Evidence from ERPs in picture-sentence verification. Acta Psychologica, 152, 133-148. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actpsy.2014.08.004) in that the meaning of verb action and the thematic role relations involve different mechanisms in language comprehension. However, cross-lingustic differences were also found in terms of comprehenders' relative sensitivity to different linguistic features in individual languages (e.g. word order in English and case-marking in Korean). Implications of the findings are discussed regrading predictive processing in language comprehension.
