Abstract In the current experiment, participants read word-by-word sentences containing gender (adjective-noun) and number (article-noun) disagreement in Dutch while EEG was recorded. Number and gender disagreement were expected to elicit different responses due to several reasons. Firstly, gender is a lexical feature whose value (e.g., masculine or feminine) is stored in the lexicon, whereas number value is assigned depending on conceptual knowledge (numerosity). Also, Dutch marks number but not gender on the noun. Finally, due to the morphological nature of number, number disagreement provides more repair options than gender disagreement, thereby increasing the processing load. Both gender and number disagreement elicited a P600, but no LAN. The P600 effect was larger for number than gender disagreement in the late P600 stage. Since the observed effect was in the late P600 stage, we suggest that the most salient difference between the two types of disagreement lies in the increased repair complexity for number disagreement compared to gender disagreement.

荷兰语中支持性别和数字分歧的过程：一项 ERP 研究

摘要 在当前的实验中，参与者在记录脑电图的同时，用荷兰语逐字阅读包含性别（形容词-名词）和数字（冠词-名词）不一致的句子。由于多种原因，预计人数和性别分歧会引起不同的反应。首先，性别是一种词汇特征，其值（例如，阳性或阴性）存储在词典中，而数值则根据概念知识（数量）分配。此外，荷兰语在名词上标记数字而不是性别。最后，由于数字的形态性质，数字不一致比性别不一致提供了更多的修复选项，从而增加了处理负荷。性别和号码不一致导致 P600，但没有 LAN。在 P600 后期，P600 对数量的影响大于性别差异。
