Do principles of language processing in the brain affect way grammar evolves over time or is change just a matter socio-historical contingency? While balance evidence has been ambiguous and controversial, we identify here neurophysiological constraint on that systematic effect evolution how noun phrases are marked by case (i.e. such contrasts as between English base form she object her). In experiments across diverse languages found during processing, participants initially interpret first...
The study reported here was conducted to investigate the neurophysiological correlates of processing two types subject experiencer verbs, namely mental verbs and physical in Malayalam, a South Dravidian language. Event-related brain potentials (ERPs) were recorded as twenty-eight first-language speakers Malayalam read intransitive sentences with verbs. Critical stimuli either fully acceptable, whereby case matched requirements verb, or unacceptable, violated verb. A linear mixed-models...
Ergativity marks subject arguments as agents of a transitive event and thereby signals verbal transitivity influences language comprehension. We report here on an event-related brain potentials (ERP) study in Hindi, which we investigated this interconnection to ascertain whether the ergative case processing cue its ERP correlates can be generalized across within languages. The marking argument (ergative or nominative case) our either matched mismatched with light verb (transitive...
Planning to speak is a challenge for the brain, and varies between within languages. Yet, little known about how neural processes react these variable challenges beyond planning of individual words. Here, we examine fundamental differences in syntax shape time course sentence planning. Most languages treat alike (i.e., align with each other) 2 uses word like “gardener” “the gardener crouched” planted trees.” A minority keeps formally distinct by adding special marking 1 case, some display...
Education theories stress not only societal context of education, but also educational philosophy, anthropology and psychology learning.A formal curriculum theory, viz.Taba-Tyler rationale, has been proposed to incorporate philosophical, sociological, anthropological psychological contexts engineering education in the curriculum.The newly developed undergraduate at Indian Institute Technology Ropar is based on such presented as a case study.It demonstrated that resulting can lead unique...
The animate–inanimate distinction is of crucial importance cognitively, and animacy has been known to influence language comprehension. However, little about the role in verb agreement processing. present study employed event-related brain potentials examine whether gender with animate (natural gender) inanimate (grammatical subject nouns reveal similar or different processing mechanisms Hindi. Critical stimuli were intransitive sentences form subject–verb–aux. Subject either inanimate,...
Abstract Gender has been investigated in psycholinguistics research both with respect to how it is retrieved when a noun encountered and the computation of its agreement dependencies between different elements sentence. The literature abound differences as processing gender computations across languages constructs. Similarly, neurophysiological evidence retrieval mechanisms differ wherein way feature based on properties. present study aims scrutinize verb-agreement relations Hindi ascertain...
