Impact Of Subject-Verb Agreement

We report two experiments that study the agreement between the subject and the object -verb in Basque. Participants repeated and completed preambles that contain pluralistic individuals or objects and objects in sentences with a canonical subject-object verb (SOV) or a non-canonical object-subject verb (OSV); In Experiment 2, they did so while they remembered two unrelated words. Participants were equally likely to produce a flawed plural convention on specific themes and a plural agreement of object by individual object. In addition, OSV object and object errors were more common than SOV phrases. However, the increase in SOV errors on OSV was greater in The Object Contract than in the Subject Agreement: participants produced more subject errors than object errors in SOV sentences, but more object errors than subject contract errors in OSV sentences. These results suggest that the coordination of the agreement is influenced both by the universal order and by the proximity of the eligible elements; In addition, encoding object chords involves processes similar to those of the dertum agreement. The study of language-related ERPs in auditory modalities is more ecological for understanding the factors and processes underlying language understanding. However, it poses a number of problems and poses several challenges that are not present in the visual representation. In this study, we examined the possibility that the perception testimony related to the position of ders-tzposition (medial vs. final) and the nature of the offence (failure to omission against commission) influenced the calculation of the violation of the S-V convention during the understanding of the language. We found significant differences in the ERP of mother-tongue adults for offences that occur in the final positions of the media, but no significant differences for errors of omission compared to errors made by the Commission. We have also demonstrated the importance of a balanced design of trials, especially in auditory studies of ERP, in which grammar effects can be conquered with acoustic stimuli differences.

The current results of this study therefore underline the importance of transforming grammar effects on ERPs by acoustic and prosodic differences in stimuli, as this has an impact on the interpretation of ERP components related to morphosytic treatment. The methodological progress of this document will be of paramount importance for future studies of other populations, where the effects of perception are expected to have a greater impact on contract execution. Although we did not find the predicted interaction between the form of the verb and grammar, we became aware of a major effect of the form of the verb, both for the AN and for the P600. In other words, regardless of grammaticality, brain reactions were different depending on the presence or absence of the suffix. This is an important finding from a methodological point of view that demonstrates the need to distinguish between ERP effects that reflect sensitivity to grammatical offences, as opposed to those that reflect differences in the acoustic properties of the stimulus. As noted above, a balanced project (see Steinhauer and Drury, 2012) is optimal for studying the overall effect of the S-V agreement, but does not allow for a more precise analysis that unravels the grammatical nature and nature of the offences. Previous studies of omission or commission errors (see Table 1) have chosen the opposite approach and maintained the grammatical context constant, while the form of the verb is manipulated. This is also the approach we took in our first analyses (see the follow-up analysis).
