Zusammenfassung

We examined the multilingual compre- hension and learning of cross-serial and embedded constructions in German- speaking learners of Dutch using mag- netoencephalography (MEG). In several experimental sessions, learners performed a sentence-scene matching task with Dutch sentences including two different verb orders (Dutch or German verb order). The results indicated a larger evoked response for the German order relative to the Dutch order over frontal sensors after three months, but not initially. The response implies that sensitivity to vio- lations of verb order remains plastic into adulthood.
