In contrast to the broad body of experimental and neuroscientific research on semantic information and prosodic speech, the emotional impact of grammatical structure has rarely been investigated. One reason for this might be, that measuring effects of syntactic structure involves the use of complex stimuli, for which the emotional impact of grammar is difficult to isolate. In the present experiment we examined the emotional impact of structural parallelisms, that is, repetitions of syntactic features, on the emotion-sensitive "late positive potential" (LPP) with a cross-modal priming paradigm. Primes were auditory presented nonsense sentences which included grammatical-syntactic parallelisms. Visual targets were positive, neutral, and negative faces, to be classified as emotional or non-emotional by the participants. Electrophysiology revealed diminished LPP amplitudes for positive faces following parallel primes. Thus, our findings suggest that grammatical structure creates an emotional context that facilitates processing of positive emotional information.}, language = {en} } @article{CzerwonHohlfeldWieseetal.2009, author = {Czerwon, Beate and Hohlfeld, Annette and Wiese, Heike and Werheid, Katja}, title = {Poster 185 : Facilitated processing of positive emotional information by verbal structural parallelisms ; an ERP study}, issn = {0048-5772}, doi = {10.1111/j.1469-8986.2009.00920.x}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{CzerwonKoehnckeHohlfeldetal.2012, author = {Czerwon, Beate and K{\"o}hncke, Ylva and Hohlfeld, Annette and Wiese, Heike and Werheid, Katja}, title = {Parallelisms in grammatical structure modulate LPP AND N400 in an affecive priming paradigm with emotional faces and words}, series = {Psychophysiology : journal of the Society for Psychophysiological Research}, volume = {49}, booktitle = {Psychophysiology : journal of the Society for Psychophysiological Research}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, address = {Hoboken}, issn = {0048-5772}, pages = {S26 -- S26}, year = {2012}, language = {en} }
