If the engagement of the LH system for inflected forms primarily reflects their combinatorial implications, then left-lateralized effects should be stronger for the two verb conditions than for the two noun conditions.
The weakness of the congruency effect in the determiner-noun condition raises doubts about the statistical power of the experiment in general, which may also account for the seeming absence of a gender-congruency effect in bare noun production.
The interplay between F2 and F3 gives rise to a (correction) focus in the position of the noun 'Anna' (condition FF).
Because we were interested in individual differences, we chose not to counterbalance the assignment of nouns to conditions (cued, uncued).
The so-called "identity MMN" (see Pulvermüller and Shtyrov 2006) was obtained for each context condition, noun, verb, pseudoword, and noise, by subtracting the averaged neurophysiological response to the deviant stimulus by the response to the same identical stimulus presented as a frequently repeated item ("control deviant stimulus", see also Fig. 1).
For Emily Brewster, one of Stamper's colleagues, a career highlight was discovering a previously unrecorded sense for the indefinite article "a": "used as a function word before a proper noun to distinguish the condition of the referent from a usual, former, or hypothetical condition".
Crucially, listeners make use of the prosodic boundary cues for utterance structuring before encountering the noun position when processing condition GG and GF.
On the other hand, if listeners structure the dialog targets conveying inappropriate accentuation patterns by predominantly relying on the misleading prosody, a CPS should be induced by the noun focus accent in condition GF.
In the VGT, subjects are required to generate verbs in response to nouns, and performance is contrasted with the reading of nouns as a control condition.
In the experimental condition, the nouns were assigned to two grammatical subclasses (Subclass 1 and Subclass 2) in such a way that the phonological form of most of the nouns was informative regarding their assignment to gender subclasses.
In the high noise condition, verb-noun sentences were presented during auditory background noise (white noise, 78 dB), and in the low noise condition sentences were presented without noise.
