Abstract Previous ERP experiments on sentence comprehension have repeatedly observed N400 effects for semantic and/or pragmatic incongruity (i.e., semantic repair processes). However, little attention has been... paid to what kind of ERPs is observed in response to semantically congruent but non-preferred continuation (i.e., semantic revision processes). Thus, the functional similarity and dissociation between semantic repair and revision processes remains unknown. The current study investigated semantic revision processes during the processing of Japanese aspectual coercion using ERPs. The results showed that sentences involving aspectual coercion elicited an anterior negativity, which has a distinct distribution from N400 effects induced by selectional restriction violations. The anterior negativity is interpreted as the physiological correlate of the semantic revision process, while the N400 reflects the semantic repair process. On the basis of these findings, the current study argued the semantic revision processes are qualitatively different from the semantic repair processes.show more
