"We are a grandmother," offered to cameras in the street on the birth of her first grandchild, represented a grammatical formulation halfway between patriotism and lunacy, intended to suggest the unique syntactical glamour of the English language.
It was a feeble attempt at a Yogi-ism — which doesn't do senseless violence to the language, but rather conveys a kind of metaphysical wisdom that a more logical or grammatical formulation would lack — and yet it contained an essential truth: everybody likes Yogi.
According to the incremental hypothesis the two sentential parts are semantically processed in the sequence of their grammatical formulation.
The mapping entails two levels: grammatical formulation, yielding a surface structure of the sentence, and phonological specification, inserting word forms into the syntactic frame.
Therefore, instead of the semantic structuring, it might be the grammatical formulation, the phonological specification, or the motor programming for articulation during which the encoding of the interrogative mood was connected with the nogo decision.
The present study aimed to investigate whether during generation of the semantic structure of a polar interrogative, i.e., the processing preceding the grammatical formulation, the interrogative mood is encoded according to its position in the syntactic structure at distinctive time points in Chinese, German, and Polish.
