Xiaoyi Wang, Chenxi Fu, Ziman Zhuang +1
Recursion enables the generation of hierarchical linguistic structures but imposes substantial processing demands during real-time comprehension. While difficulties with complex sy…
An ERP Study of Recursive Possessive Parsing in ASD Children and Its Cognitive Neuro Mechanisms
Fu Chenxi, Wang Xiaoyi, Zhuang Ziman +1
Recursive structures are a core property of human language, yet little is known about how children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) process complex recursion. This ERP study inv…
Children's Acquisition of Tail-recursion Sequences: A Review of Locative Recursion and Possessive Recursion as Examples
Xiaoyi Wang, Chenxi Fu, Caimei Yang +1
Recursion is the nature of human natural language. Since Chomsky proposed generative grammar, many scholars have studied recursion either theoretically or empirically. However, by…
The syntax-semantics interface in a child's path: A study of 3- to 11-year-olds' elicited production of Mandarin recursive relative clauses
Caimei Yang, Qihang Yang, Xingzhi Su +4
There have been apparently conflicting claims over the syntax-semantics relationship in child acquisition. However, few of them have assessed the child's path toward the acquisitio…
