The Use of Referential Context and Grammatical Gender in Parsing: A Reply (2008)

To Brysbaert, Peter Hagoort, Colin M. Brown

Based on the results of an event-related brain potentials (ERP) experiment (van Berkum, Brown, & Hagoort. 1999a, b), we have recently argued that discourse-level referential context can be taken...

Liver transplantation for hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia: Report of the European liver transplant registry (2006)

Orlando, Giuseppe, Adam, René, Sabbà, Carlo, Pfitzmann, Robert, Klempnauer, Jurgen, ...

BACKGROUND: Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) or Rendu-Osler-Weber disease is a rare disease characterized by the presence of arteriovenous malformations. Hepatic involvement can lead to...

Processing the noun phrase versus sentence coordination ambiguity : thematic information does not completely eliminate processing difficulty (2006)

Hoeks, John C. J., Hendriks, Petra, Vonk, Wietske, Brown, Colin M., Hagoort, Peter

When faced with the noun phrase (NP) versus sentence (S) coordination ambiguity as in, for example, The thief shot the jeweller and the cop hellip, readers prefer the reading with NP-coordination...

The cascaded nature of lexical selection and integration in auditory sentence processing (2006)

Van Den Brink, Daniëlle, Brown, Colin M., Hagoort, Peter

An event-related brain potential experiment was carried out to investigate the temporal relationship between lexical selection and the semantic integration in auditory sentence processing....

Anticipating upcoming words in discourse: Evidence from ERPs and reading times (2005)

Brown, Colin M., Zwitserlood, Pienie, Kooijman, Valesca, Hagoort, Peter

The authors examined whether people can use their knowledge of the wider discourse rapidly enough to anticipate specific upcoming words as a sentence is unfolding. In an event-related brain potential...

ERP-effects of subject-verb agreement violations in patients with Broca's aphasia (2004)

Wassenaar, Marlies, Brown, Colin M., Hagoort, Peter

This article presents electrophysiological data on on-line syntactic processing during auditory sentence comprehension in patients with Broca's aphasia. Event-related brain potentials (ERPs) were...

When and how do listeners relate a sentence to the wider discourse? Evidence from the N400 effect (2003)

Zwitserlood, Pienie, Hagoort, Peter, Brown, Colin M.

In two ERP experiments, we assessed the impact of discourse-level information on the processing of an unfolding spoken sentence. Subjects listened to sentences like Jane told her brother that he was...

Event-related brain potentials reflect discourse-referential ambiguity in spoken language comprehension (2003)

Brown, Colin M., Hagoort, Peter, Zwitserlood, Pienie

In two experiments, we explored the use of event-related brain potentials to selectively track the processes that establish reference during spoken language comprehension. Subjects listened to...

Understanding words in sentence contexts: The time course of ambiguity resolution (2003)

Swaab, Tamara, Brown, Colin M., Hagoort, Peter

Spoken language comprehension requires rapid integration of information from multiple linguistic sources. In the present study we addressed the temporal aspects of this integration process by...

Syntax-related ERP-effects in Dutch (2003)

Hagoort, Peter, Wassenaar, Marlies, Brown, Colin M.

In two studies subjects were required to read Dutch sentences that in some cases contained a syntactic violation, in other cases a semantic violation. All syntactic violations were word category...

Real-time semantic compensation in patients with agrammatic comprehension: Electrophysiological evidence for multiple-route plasticity (2003)

Hagoort, Peter, Wassenaar, Marlies, Brown, Colin M.

To understand spoken language requires that the brain provides rapid access to different kinds of knowledge, including the sounds and meanings of words, and syntax. Syntax specifies constraints on...

Lexical processing of vocabulary class in patients with Broca's aphasia: An event-related brain potential study on agrammatic comprehension (2002)

Ter Keurs, Mariken, Brown, Colin M., Hagoort, Peter

This paper presents electrophysiological evidence of an impairment in the on-line processing of word class information in patients with Broca’s aphasia with agrammatic comprehension. Event-related...

Electrophysiological manifestations of open- and closed-class words in patients with Broca's aphasia with agrammatic comprehension: An event-related brain potential study (1999)

Ter Keurs, Mariken, Brown, Colin M., Hagoort, Peter, Stegeman, Dick F.

This paper presents electrophysiological data on the on-line processing of open- and closed-class words in patients with Broca's aphasia with agrammatic comprehension. Event-related brain potentials...

Lexical--semantic event-related potential effects in patients with left hemisphere lesions and aphasia, and patients with right hemisphere lesions without aphasia (1996)

Hagoort, Peter, Brown, Colin M., Swaab, Tamara Y.

Lexical—semantic processing impairments in aphasic patients with left hemisphere lesions and non-aphasic patients with right hemisphere lesions were investigated by recording event-related brain...

A neural correlate of syntactic encoding during speech production

Indefrey, Peter, Brown, Colin M., Hellwig, Frauke, Amunts, Katrin, Herzog, Hans, Seitz, Rüdiger J., ...

Spoken language is one of the most compact and structured ways to convey information. The linguistic ability to structure individual words into larger sentence units permits speakers to express a...

Liver Transplantation for Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia: Report of the European Liver Transplant Registry

Lerut, Jan, Orlando, Giuseppe, Adam, René, Sabbà, Carlo, Pfitzmann, Robert, Klempnauer, Jurgen, ...

The results of the largest reported transplant series in the treatment of hepatic-based HHT are excellent. Elimination of hepatobiliary sepsis and reversal of cardiopulmonary changes dramatically...
