Résumé

The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential interest of the click monitoring technique for the on-line study of speech comprehension. While subjects listened to experimental sentences (or words), the reaction times to short superimposed clicks were measured. We studied the influence on reaction times of various lexical, syntactic, and semantic factors that contribute to sentence comprehension. We suggest that latencies are not sensitive to the most rapid and automatic processes of lexical access and syntactic parsing. However, longer latencies are observed whenever automatic modules fail to produce a definite output, requiring that controlled verification strategies come into play.
