Bilinguals processing noun morphology: Evidence for the Language Distance Hypothesis from event-related potentials
(Pergamon-Elsevier, 2020-08)
Evidence shows that second language (L2) processing depends on the Age of Acquisition (AoA), proficiency and differences between L1 and L2 grammar. Here we focus on the influence of the latter factor on L2 processing. To ...
Cross-linguistic differences in case marking shape neural power dynamics and gaze behavior during sentence planning
(Elsevier, 2022-05-20)
Languages differ in how they mark the dependencies between verbs and arguments, e.g., by case. An eye tracking and EEG picture description study examined the influence of case marking on the time course of sentence planning ...
Agents Strongly Preferred: ERP Evidence from Natives and Non-Natives Processing Intransitive Sentences in Spanish
(MDPI, 2022)
Are non-native speakers able to process their second language in a native-like way? The present study used the Event-Related Potentials’ (ERPs) method to address this issue by focusing (1) on agent vs. agentless intransitive ...
Negative Transfer Effects on L2 Word Order Processing
(Frontiers Media SA, 2018-03-14)
Does first language (L1) word order affect the processing of non-canonical but grammatical syntactic structures in second language (L2) comprehension? In the present study, we test whether L1-Spanish speakers of L2-Basque ...
On The Nature Of Clitics And Their Sensitivity To Number Attraction Effects
(Frontiers Media SA, 2017-09-05)
Pronominal dependencies have been shown to be more resilient to attraction effects than subject-verb agreement. We use this phenomenon to investigate whether antecedent-clitic dependencies in Spanish are computed like ...
Eppur non si muove: Experimental evidence for the Unaccusative Hypothesis and distinct ɸ-feature processing in Basque
(Ubiquity Press, 2019-11)
The Unaccusative Hypothesis (UH) has been extensively studied in linguistics, but, to date, it has not been tested by means of ERPs. The present study aimed to experimentally test the UH hypothesis in Basque and determine ...
