Description

Статья опубликована в Cognitive Brain Research, 1997. - №06 - Р. 37–52.Event-related brain potentials (ERPs) were recorded as German-speaking subjects read verbs in correct and incorrect participle forms. The critical words were presented in three different versions to three different groups of subjects, as part of a simple sentence, in a word list, and embedded in a story; for each version separate ERPs were recorded. Three types of verbs were investigated, regulars, irregulars and nonce verbs. We compared correct regular and irregular participles with incorrect ones; the latter had -(e)n on verbs that actually take -t participles (getanz-en), or -(e)t on verbs that require -(e)n (gelad-et). For the nonce verbs, we compared participles with the unexpected -(e)n ending with the expected -t participle forms.
