Abstract Previous studies on sentence comprehension have investigated how syntactic dependencies are established. The current study focused on the processing differences between various syntactic dependencies ...by recording event-related potentials when participants read Japanese sentences including filler-gap, wh-Q, and tatoe-temo dependencies. The results showed that sustained negativity was elicited in both filler-gap and tatoe-temo conditions. However, while the sustained negativity started at the word immediately following the filler in filler-gap condition, in the tatoe-temo condition, it started at the second word from tatoe rather than immediately after tatoe. In addition, although the wh-Q condition also elicited negativity, it was not sustained for several words. These results indicate that different types of dependencies are processed differently depending on their characteristics. Based on this finding, it is argued that the processing mechanisms for such dependencies differ depending on the timing when the parser begins the search for the required constituent, the property of the constituent that triggers dependency formation, and the property of the syntactic integration process.show more
