In our #EEG sentence comprehension experiment, we found that Äiwoo speakers interpret human nouns as subjects (agents) — but experience with their language tells them that any first noun is most likely an object (patient). ➡️ A universal (& evolutionarily deep) "agent-first" principle is at work. 🧵8/

And this is how ChatGPT imagines the abstract of "Concurrent processing of the prosodic hierarchy is supported by cortical entrainment and phase-amplitude coupling" could be represented in pop-art style.

With regressions and machine learning analyses, we could show that the acoustic information associated with the prosodic hierarchy top–down modulates cortical entrainment — the structure of intonation phrases influenced tracking of feet and the structure of feet influenced syllable tracking. ⬇️

Swiss German has an extremely rare, not well-studied linguistic feature — crossed and nested syntactic dependencies. In "The Effects of Syntactic Dependencies and Speech Tempo on Macro-Rhythm" (shorturl.at/sdOAx, p. 157ff), we show that different dependencies come with distinct prosodic marking. 🧵
