An overview of language processing during reading and listening is provided. Evidence is reviewed indicating that language processing in both domains is fast and incremental. We also discuss some aspects of normal reading and listening that are often obscured in event-related potential (ERP) research. We also discuss some apparent limitations of ERP techniques, as well as some recent indications that electroencephalographic (EEG) measures can be used to probe how lexical knowledge and lexical or structural expectations can contribute to the incremental process of language comprehension.
本文提供了阅读和听力过程中语言处理的概述。回顾的证据表明,这两个领域的语言处理都是快速且渐进的。我们还讨论了正常阅读和听力的一些方面,这些方面在事件相关电位(ERP)研究中常常被忽视。我们还讨论了ERP技术的一些明显局限性,以及最近的一些迹象表明,脑电图(EEG)测量可用于探究词汇知识和词汇或结构预期如何有助于语言理解的渐进过程。
