Sažetak
One of the crucial things in understanding the meaning of a sentence is the assignment of thematic roles within the sentence. It is interesting that various cues that lead us to comprehend a sentence have different strength hierarchy in languages. Learning a second language that has a different cue hierarchy than the native one can lead to difficulty in thematic role assignment especially at the beginning level of learning. Presenting Croatian sentences with different cue configuration (animacy, word order, case marking), the effect of cue strength on thematic role assignment was investigated in adult native speakers of Croatian and adult English native speakers learning Croatian as second language. The participants were asked to respond to visually-presented Croatian sentences viewed on a computer screen word by word. All sentences were short three-word sentences consisting of a simple noun-verb-noun structure (e.g. Pas gleda loptu. – The dog is watching a ball.). Participants were asked to state who is the doer of the action by pressing a button. Reaction time and accuracy of responses were monitored, and at the same time on- going electro-encephalographic (EEG) activity was recorded to provide information about changes in participants’ brain activity during task performance to assess the online processes involved in language processing.
