ERPs time-locked to different types of verb-argument violations in sentences, compared to ERPs time-locked to predictable target words. Violated target verbs were semantically related to the preceding sentence context, and were preceded by noun arguments that were either compatible (the ball would throw) or incompatible (the gym would throw) with the role of an undergoer of the action conveyed by the verb (A), or were not semantically related to the preceding sentence context and were incompatible with the role of an undergoer of the action conveyed by the verb (B). Shown are ERPs at a parietal electrode site. Adapted from Kuperberg et al. (2006a; 2007b)
