- 요약With just a quick glance, it is possible to grasp the meaning of a short sentence in only fraction of the time it would take to arrive at that meaning through hearing it. How is this possible? What implications does this fact have for our theories of sentence processing more generally? This dissertation investigates the neural basis of syntactic and semantic combinatorics during this ata-glance form of reading. Across three experiments, I examine how the brain composes structured meaning from multiple words presented simultaneously, rather than sequentially- challenging traditional serial models of sentence processing. In the first study, I investigate how the knowledge of phrase structure guides the formation of meaningful sentential representations. Results reveal rapid syntactic repair processes, reflected in left-lateralized frontal and temporal regions within 300 ms, supporting a flexible and structure-driven mechanism for sentence interpretation. The second study examines the temporal dynamics involved in processing different sized linguistic stimuli. Neural activity elicited by whole sentences demonstrated a sequence of processing incredibly similar to what one would observe for a single word. Finally, the third study exploits this at-a-glance reading to test representational hypotheses of quantifier meanings. Neural data show that activity in the left anterior temporal lobe are sensitive to referential properties of the Aristotelian quantifiers all, some, and no in a pattern that has bearing on formal linguistic theories of quantifier representation. Taken together, these studies lay a groundwork for future research into the neural bases of linguistic combinatorial processing in the absence of temporal structure.
