| Abstract(in English) | In order to examine the role of semantic information in Japanese sentence comprehension, we presented the garden-path sentences with the two different semantic congruence, and investigated event-related potential (ERP) components elicited by these sentences. The results indicate that the ERP components showed no significant difference between the two conditions. Parser builds the syntactic structure without reference to semantic information in the garden-path theory, on the other hand parser builds the syntactic structure using not only syntactic information but also semantic information in the constraint-based model. Accordingly, the results of the present study suggest that the garden-path theory is more suitable for Japanese sentence comprehension than the constraint-based model. |
