“…Previous behavioral studies have shown syntactic priming effects during both sentence production (Smith & Wheeldon, 2001;Hartsuiker & Kolk, 1998;Hartsuiker, Kolk, & Huiskamp, 1999;Hartsuiker & Westenberg, 2000;Pickering & Branigan, 1998Bock, 1986;Bock & Griffin, 2000) and comprehension (Potter & Lombardi, 1998;Branigan, Pickering, Liversedge, Stewart, & Urbach, 1995;Frazier, Tapt, Roeper, & Clifton, 1984;Mehler & Carey, 1967). In controlled sentence production tasks (sentence completion, picture description, sentence recall), subjects tend to convey their messages in identical syntactic forms.…”

Abstract& It is easier to produce and comprehend a series of sentences when they have similar syntactic structures. This ''syntactic priming'' effect was investigated during silent sentence reading using (i) blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) response as a physiological measure in an f MRI study and (ii) reading time as a behavioral measure in a complementary selfpaced reading paradigm. We found that reading time and left anterior temporal activation were decreased when subjects read sentences with similar relative to dissimilar syntactic forms. Thus, syntactic adaptation during sentence comprehension is demonstrated in a neural area that has previously been linked to both lexical semantic and sentence processing. &

“…During production, syntactic priming is reflected in an increased likelihood to choose, for instance, the same grammatical voice (active versus passive) or the same type of dative construction (double-object versus prepositional dative) in consecutive sentences (e.g. Bock, 1986;Bock & Loebell, 1990) or in faster speech onsets for repeated syntactic structures (Corley & Scheepers, 2002;Segaert, Menenti, Weber, & Hagoort, 2011;Smith & Wheeldon, 2001;Wheeldon & Smith, 2003;Wheeldon, Smith, & Apperly, 2011). Syntactic priming in comprehension is shown in anticipatory eye-movements to pictures (Arai, van Gompel, & Scheepers, 2007;Carminati, van Gompel, Scheepers, & Arai, 2008;Thothathiri & Snedeker, 2008a;Traxler, 2008), in faster reading (Traxler & Tooley, 2008) and in picture-matching choices for ambiguous phrases (Branigan, Pickering, & McLean, 2005).…”

Syntactic priming and the lexical boost effect during sentence production and sentence comprehension: An fMRI study

et al. 2013

a b s t r a c tBehavioral syntactic priming effects during sentence comprehension are typically observed only if both the syntactic structure and lexical head are repeated. In contrast, during production syntactic priming occurs with structure repetition alone, but the effect is boosted by repetition of the lexical head. We used fMRI to investigate the neuronal correlates of syntactic priming and lexical boost effects during sentence production and comprehension. The critical measure was the magnitude of fMRI adaptation to repetition of sentences in active or passive voice, with or without verb repetition. In conditions with repeated verbs, we observed adaptation to structure repetition in the left IFG and MTG, for active and passive voice. However, in the absence of repeated verbs, adaptation occurred only for passive sentences. None of the fMRI adaptation effects yielded differential effects for production versus comprehension, suggesting that sentence comprehension and production are subserved by the same neuronal infrastructure for syntactic processing.

“…The researches above mainly take the response biases of the target sentences produced by the subjects as the study index, and few experiments consider the reaction time (RT for short) as the measurement (except Corley & Scheepers, 2002;Smith & Wheeldon, 2001;Wheeldon, Smith & Apperly, 2011;Wheeldon & Smith, 2003). Because the pause during the sentence production needs to be controlled.…”

The syntactic priming is not only a very important repetitive priming phenomenon, it is also important for studying the syntactic representation and the speech production mechanism. Since the priming is related to the selecting process of the target sentences, it is of serious requirement for both the experimental materials and paradigms. The main questions studied in the syntactic priming correlates with the construction, the syntactic hierarchy and the representation of verbs, etc. Mastering the syntactic priming's experimental paradigm and knowing the corresponding research questions would be of great significance to studying the syntactic representation and the syntactic teaching in the field of teaching Chinese as a second language.
