Limited role of phonology in reading Chinese two-character compounds: Evidence from an ERP study

Highlights • ERPs reveal the temporal dynamics of Chinese compound word recognition. • Semantic and orthographic information affects the amplitudes of N400 and N250 respectively. • Phonology plays a minimal role in recognizing Chinese compound words. • The salience of phonology in semantic access fr...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • ERPs reveal the temporal dynamics of Chinese compound word recognition. • Semantic and orthographic information affects the amplitudes of N400 and N250 respectively. • Phonology plays a minimal role in recognizing Chinese compound words. • The salience of phonology in semantic access from print is language dependent.
