【 摘 要 】

The last three decades have seen a considerable growth in the use of event-related potential(ERP) methods in language research. As our appreciation of the cognitive mechanisms underlyinglanguage processing increases, so too does our understanding of its electrophysiological correlates.The phonological mapping negativity1(PMN) is an ERP component long established to indexpre-lexical phonological processing (Connolly and Phillips, 1994; Connolly et al., 2001; Desrocheset al., 2009), involving the mapping of speech signals onto phonological representations (Newmanand Connolly, 2009). Generally maximal at around 300 ms post stimulus onset (PSO), the PMNis classically elicited in paradigms in which phonological expectancies are generated using words(Newman and Connolly, 2009), sentences with high cloze probability (Connolly and Phillips, 1994),and pictures (Desroches et al., 2009). For example, asking participants to delete the initial soundfrom a word (e.g., snap without the /s/) will generate expectation of “nap.” When this expectationof particular phonological input is violated (e.g., presentation of “tap” in place of “nap”) thecomponent increases in amplitude.
