  1. 1. What comes next? : Investigating the neural correlates of predictability during conversation with fMRI

    Kandidat-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för lingvistik

    Författare :Johanna Sundström; [2023]
    Nyckelord :surprisal; neurolinguistics; fMRI; language processing; conversation; language comprehension; language production; surprisal; neurolingvistik; fMRI; språkprocessning; konversation; språkförståelse; språkproduktion;

    Sammanfattning : The notion that prediction plays a role in language processing is getting less controversial, however research and discussion is ongoing as to the nature and extent of its involvement. Previous studies have mainly focused on prediction during comprehension in restricted paradigms. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Articulation rate as a means of distributing information and its effect on the N400-component

    Kandidat-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för lingvistik

    Författare :Christoffer Forbes Schieche; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Information theory; surprisal; articulation rate; EEG; ERP; N400; Informationsteori; surprisal; artikulationshastighet; EEG; ERP; N400;

    Sammanfattning : Information theoretical approaches to language state that the most efficient communication oc­curs when the amount of information transmitted is distributed as uniformly as possible over time. Previous research has shown that speakers tend to adhere to strategies for distributing information efficiently, using mechanisms at multiple linguistic levels. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Holistic and combinatorial processing of Swedish tone accents in the brain: An MMN study

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Allmän språkvetenskap; Lunds universitet/Masterprogram: Språk och språkvetenskap

    Författare :Renata Kochancikaite; [2019]
    Nyckelord :tone accents; Swedish; phonology; morphology; accent 1; accent 2; neurolinguistics; EEG; event-related potentials; MMN; mismatch negativity; Languages and Literatures;

    Sammanfattning : All words in Swedish have a particular melody. There are two tonal patterns that are observed in different prosodic and morphological contexts – accent 1 and accent 2. The tone of accent 1 is the default melody in Swedish and is said to be of intonational nature. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Processing the L2 comprehension process: Testing Processability Theory’s predictions in an ERP study of adult learners of L2 Swedish

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Allmän språkvetenskap; Lunds universitet/Masterprogram: Språk och språkvetenskap

    Författare :Ariane Senécal; [2011]
    Nyckelord :Predicative Agreement; Attributive Agreement; Processability Theory; Second Language Acquisition; Neurolinguistics; Event-Related Potentials; Swedish as a Second Language; Linguistics; Languages and Literatures;

    Sammanfattning : This small-scale experiment was a first attempt at testing the theoretical framework of Processability Theory (PT), a well-established theory of Second Language Acquisition (SLA), against data from online brain imaging technology (Electroencephalography – EEG). Event Related Potentials (ERPs) were extracted for 15 advanced beginners/intermediate-level learners of Swedish who were presented with grammatical and ungrammatical sentences, each containing one of two grammatical forms evaluated in PT as belonging to two different stages of acquisition (attributive number agreement vs. LÄS MER

  7. 5. The Neural Representations of Function Words : Neurolinguistic Beliefs Reconsidered in the Light of Grammaticalisation Theory

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Masterprogram: Språk och språkvetenskap; Lunds universitet/Allmän språkvetenskap

    Författare :Sabine Gosselke; [2011]
    Nyckelord :grammaticalisation; neurolinguistics; function words; processing; motor cortex; movement priming; Languages and Literatures;

    Sammanfattning : It has in recent years been shown that some linguistic items, in particular lexical and abstracted movement verbs, activate the motor cortex in the human brain while being processed. The present study sets out to investigate how far this activation is retained for grammaticalised motion verbs which have shed their lexical content in exchange for grammatical functionality. LÄS MER
