Comparatively little attention, however, has been > focused on how linguistic processing proceeds once morphological > constituents have been identified. > > In this talk I'll discuss the results of a number of recent and ongoing > experiments using MEG to investigate how we rapidly access information > about the constituents of morphologically complex words including two (saw, > jumped, outrun, thinkable) or three (outran, unthinkable, reflatten) > morphemes, and how we make use of this information to reassemble the pieces > and evaluate their syntactic and semantic wellformedness. I'll focus much > of the talk on 'fresh from the lab' data from a project with Alec Marantz > (NYU) and Christina Manouilidou (UPatras) that we are just now analysing, > in which we are investigating the neural spatio-temporal dynamics of access > to the lexical category vs. argument structure representations of verbal > stems. I'll argue that by focusing on the apparently simple question of how > we detect and make use of information about morphological constituents, we > can gain significant insight into the overall architecture of the human > linguistic system. > > > *Phaedra Royle, **Ph.D., Professeure agrégée > <http://www.eoa.umontreal.ca/a_propos/equipe/professeurs/royle_phaedra.html>* > > *École d’orthophonie et d’audiologie* > > *Pavillon 7077, ave. du Parc - 3e étage - bureau 3033-19* > > *Faculté de médecine * | *Université de Montréal* > > [image: Université de Montréal] <http://www.umontreal.ca/> > > *Adresse postale : c.p. 6128, succ.
