TI  - Are semantic and syntactic cues inducing the same processes in the identification 
      of word order?
PG  - 526-43
AB  - The purpose of this study was to find a common pattern of event-related potential 
      (ERP) fluctuations regardless of the type of information (either semantic or 
      syntactic) determining the presence of a reversed word order. ERPs were recorded 
      while subjects read Spanish transitive sentences in which either semantic or 
      syntactic information determined the actual word order. On the one hand (semantic 
      condition), the order could be reversed by using an inanimate noun in the first 
      noun phrase (NP), together with a verb representing an action that cannot 
      correspond to an inanimate entity. On the other hand (syntactic condition), word 
      order could be manipulated depending on the presence of a preposition preceding 
      the second NP, which confirms the preferred word order, or a determiner, 
      conveying a reversed word order. Interestingly, the inanimate first noun elicited 
      a frontal negativity, which could be interpreted as the detection of an initial 
      difficulty for using that noun as the subject of the sentence. At the point of 
      disambiguation in either condition, a late posterior positivity was observed. The 
      P600/SPS might, therefore, be an indicator of the syntactic processing costs 
      incurred by the variation of word order, reflecting phrase structure reallocation 
      processes common to this operation regardless of the cue used.
