Effects of semantic constraint and cloze probability on Chinese classifier-noun agreement
This study aims to examine when and how readers make use of top-down information to predict or integrate upcoming words by utilizing the characteristics of Chinese classifier-noun agreement, as measured by event-related potentials (ERPs).

| description | This study aims to examine when and how readers make use of top-down information to predict or integrate upcoming words by utilizing the characteristics of Chinese classifier-noun agreement, as measured by event-related potentials (ERPs). Constraint strength of classifiers (strong and weak) and cloze probability of the pairing noun (high, low, implausible) was manipulated. Weakly constrained classifiers elicited a less positive P200 and an enhanced frontal negativity than strongly constrained classifiers, suggesting that readers used the preceding classifier to predict the upcoming noun, even before the pairing noun appeared. For ERPs elicited by the pairing nouns, there was a significant interaction between semantic constraint and cloze probability for the N400. For nouns following the weakly constrained classifiers, there was a graded cloze probability effect on the N400 (High |
