Neural processing of acoustic duration and phonological German vowel length: time courses of evoked fields in response to speech and nonspeech signals.

abstract：:For Chinese compounds, neighbors can share either both orthographic forms and meanings, or orthographic forms only. In this study, central presentation and visual half-field (VF) presentation methods were used in conjunction with ERP measures to investigate how readers solve the sublexical semantic ambiguity of the fi...
