The Time Course of Verb Processing in Dutch Sentences

Year: 2005

Type: article

Abstract: In Dutch matrix clauses the verb is not in its base position, but has been moved from the end of the clause to second position. Three Cross-Modal Priming experiments showed that the on-line activation pattern for moved verbs in Dutch differs significantly from the pattern for moved nouns in English. Whereas in wh-movement reactivation of moved nouns is found at their base position, the current results suggest that moved verbs are maintained active during the entire clause. The results are discussed in light of a gap-filling account, and three proposals are given to explain the long-lasting activation of the verb.
