Who is ziji or ta-ziji ? An ERP study on the processing mechanism of Chinese bare and compound reflexives

This study employed event-related potentials (ERPs) to explore the roles of syntactic cues and animacy cues in the retrieval processes of ziji and ta-ziji using the sentence structure "P-NP1+VP1+P-NP2+ADV+VP2+ziji/ta-ziji+VP3+ADV+VP4+NP." By constructing conditions where reflexives could reference NP1, NP2, or both, the study examined cue effects.
