Meaning construction is realized through the use of a combination of linguistic resources in the forms of words, sentence, and discourse.
The N400 is sensitive to lexical, semantic, and mnemonic aspects in the context of single words, sentences, and discourse, and it reflects semantic fit with general world knowledge (Chwilla & Kolk, 2005; Friederici, 2004; Hagoort & van Berkum, 2007; Kuperberg, 2007).
The parts of sensible discourse are "(1) sensible representations, (2) their interconnections, and (3) the words, or the articulate sounds which are represented by the letters and which symbolize the words," and sensible discourse is "directed toward the apprehension of sensible discourse" (Meditationes, §§I IX, pp. 6 10).
There is a kind of European theatre, quite distinct from anything produced in this country, that combines torrents of words and philosophical discourse with rich but heavy visuals to produce evenings that have an almost operatic quality.
Among the six final step predictors, oral vocabulary, word semantics, and discourse skills had significant unique contributions to Chinese reading comprehension (all βs >0.16, all ps < 0.05).
Further studies are needed to test to what extent neurocognitive models of attentional control in perception and action can explain inhibition and shifting in comprehension and production of word, sentence and discourse.
Similar to the results for dyslexic children in senior grades, oral vocabulary, word semantics, and discourse skills remained to be significant predictors of Chinese reading comprehension in the final step (all βs > 0.15, all ps < 0.05).
> -wrap-foot> * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01 As shown in Table 3, the correlation coefficients of the scores demonstrated strong relationships of Chinese reading comprehension with both the word-level (oral vocabulary and word semantics) and text-level skills (word order, morphosyntax, and discourse skills), but not with verbal working memory among the dyslexic children.
Our experimental findings show that if high-quality meta-information labels are available, both word-level and discourse-level information improve performance of language models.
