Abstract: | Background The present experiments were designed to test how the linguistic feature of case is processed in Japanese by native and non-native
listeners. We used a miniature version of Japanese as a model to compare sentence comprehension mechanisms in native speakers
and non-native learners who had received training until they had mastered the system. In the first experiment we auditorily
presented native Japanese speakers with sentences containing incorrect double nominatives and incorrect double accusatives,
and with correct sentences. In the second experiment we tested trained non-natives with the same material. Based on previous
research in German we expected an N400-P600 biphasic ERP response with specific modulations depending on the violated case
and whether the listeners were native or non-native. |
