| Abstract(in English) | In sharp contrast with sentence processing where hierarchical syntactic structures have been demonstrated at both behavioral (Fossum & Levy, 2012) and neural (Brennan et al., 2016) levels, the hierarchical nature of words has not been sufficiently addressed in morphological processing. In this paper, extending the computational psycholinguistic approach developed in sentence processing to morphological processing (Marantz, 2013), we investigate whether morphological processing tracks hierarchical syntactic structures of words in the brain. Specifically, we conduct a magnetoencephalography (MEG) visual lexical decision experiment, where computational models proposed in natural language processing are employed to predict brain activity in the MEG evoked response component called the M170 (Pylkk?nen & Marantz, 2003). |
