| summary | Fitz & Chang (2019) argue that event-related brain potentials (ERPs) during sentence comprehension result from the detection and incorporation of word-prediction error. The N400 component would correlate with prediction error while the P600 would be indicative of error backpropagation in the language system. Psycholinguistically speaking, the latter is an estimate of how much the comprehended sentence can engender change in a person’s believes about the language’s grammar. I will present an evaluation of this hypothesis on a corpus of EEG data recorded from participants reading naturalistic English sentences. Moreover, I will demonstrate that backpropagated error also accounts for the subjective acceptability of sentences. |
