ERPs were time-locked to a visual cue for silent production of either a regular or irregular past-tense form or a 3rd person singular present tense form of a given verb (e.g., walked/sang vs. walks/sings). Subsequently, another visual stimulus cued participants for an overt vocalization of their response. ERP results for the adult group revealed a negativity 300-450 ms after the silent-production cue for regular compared to irregular past-tense forms. There was no difference in the present form condition. Children's brain potentials revealed developmental changes, with the older children demonstrating more adult-like ERP responses than the younger ones. We interpret the observed ERP responses as reflecting combinatorial processing involved in regular (but not irregular) past-tense formation.}, language = {en} } @article{Clahsen2013, author = {Clahsen, Harald}, title = {Grammatische St{\"o}rungen bei ein- und mehrsprachigen Kindern : ein Vergleich}, year = {2013}, language = {de} } @article{Clahsen2013, author = {Clahsen, Harald}, title = {Grammatische St{\"o}rungen bei ein- und mehrsprachigen Kindern}, series = {Spektrum Patholinguistik}, journal = {Spektrum Patholinguistik}, number = {6}, editor = {Fritzsche, Tom and Meyer, Corinna B. and Adelt, Anne and Roß, Jennifer}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {1866-9085}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-68450}, pages = {1 -- 4}, year = {2013}, language = {de} } @article{ClahsenBalkhairSchutteretal.2013, author = {Clahsen, Harald and Balkhair, Loay and Schutter, John-Sebastian and Cunnings, Ian}, title = {The time course of morphological processing in a second language}, series = {Second language research}, volume = {29}, journal = {Second language research}, number = {1}, publisher = {Sage Publ.}, address = {London}, issn = {0267-6583}, doi = {10.1177/0267658312464970}, pages = {7 -- 31}, year = {2013}, abstract = {We report findings from psycholinguistic experiments investigating the detailed timing of processing morphologically complex words by proficient adult second (L2) language learners of English in comparison to adult native (L1) speakers of English.

Realization-based theories of morphology, for example, assume specific morpholexical representations for derived words that distinguish them from the products of inflectional or paradigmatic processes. The present study reports results from a series of masked priming experiments investigating the processing of inflectional and derivational phenomena in native (L1) and non-native (L2) speakers in a non-Indo-European language, Turkish. We specifically compared regular (Aorist) verb inflection with deadjectival nominalization, both of which are highly frequent, productive and transparent in Turkish. The experiments demonstrated different priming patterns for inflection and derivation, specifically within the L2 group. Implications of these findings are discussed both for accounts of L2 morphological processing and for the controversial linguistic distinction between inflection and derivation.}, language = {en} } @article{SilvaGerthClahsen2013, author = {Silva, Renita and Gerth, Sabrina and Clahsen, Harald}, title = {Morphological constraints in children's spoken language comprehension - a visual world study of plurals inside compounds in English}, series = {Cognition : international journal of cognitive science}, volume = {129}, journal = {Cognition : international journal of cognitive science}, number = {2}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0010-0277}, doi = {10.1016/j.cognition.2013.08.003}, pages = {457 -- 469}, year = {2013}, abstract = {Many previous studies have shown that the human language processor is capable of rapidly integrating information from different sources during reading or listening. Yet, little is known about how this ability develops from child to adulthood. To gain insight into how children (in comparison to adults) handle different kinds of linguistic information during on-line language comprehension, the current study investigates a well-known morphological phenomenon that is subject to both structural and semantic constraints, the plurals-in-compounds effect, i.e. the dislike of plural (specifically regular plural) modifiers inside compounds (e.g. rats eater). We examined 96 seven-to-twelve-year-old children and a control group of 32 adults measuring their eye-gaze changes in response to compound-internal plural and singular forms. Our results indicate that children rely more upon structural properties of language (in the present case, morphological cues) early in development and that the ability to efficiently integrate information from multiple sources takes time for children to reach adult-like levels.}, language = {en} }
