Standard and deviant stimuli used in the two blocks of the multi-feature MMN paradigm applied. In each block, frequent standard stimuli and rare deviants started with the same pronoun, followed by a verb stem, which, in the case of deviants, also carried an overtly realised affix (–s or –ed). Probabilities with which each stimulus type occurred are indicated in brackets.
