N2 - We investigated the relative time courses of the accessibility of semantic and syntactic information in speaking and comprehension via event-related brain potentials (ERPs). Native German speakers either viewed a series of pictures (tacit picture naming experiment) or heard a series of nouns (listening experiment) and made dual choice go/nogo decisions based on each item's semantic and syntactic features. N200 peak latency results indicate that access to meaning has temporal precedence over access to syntactic information in both speaking (∼80 ms) and comprehension (∼70 ms), and are discussed in the context of current psycholinguistic theories.
