2020, CognitionCitation Excerpt :This finding was consistently observed when the task was more demanding, that is, processing non-canonical sentences. English language predominantly employs a Subject-Verb-Object word order (Bates, McNew, MacWhinney, Devescovi, & Smith, 1982). Thus, canonical sentences were taken to be easier and therefore presenting a low cognitive load (Roland, Dick, & Elman, 2006).
The processing of animacy in noun-classifier combinations in reading Korean: An ERP study
2018, Brain and CognitionCitation Excerpt :A key issue in the area of language processing is the mechanism underlying animacy processing during sentence comprehension. According to the competition model (Bates, McNew, MacWhinney, Devescovi, & Smith, 1982; MacWhinney & Bates, 1989), all linguistic cues such as animacy, case, word order, and agreement can be activated simultaneously and compete and interact with each other, generating proper explanations according to the relative cue strengths in different languages. The linguistic cues that play a dominant role vary according to the language.
