Two experiments were conducted on a cohort of Chinese native speakers using the Event-Related Potential (ERP) technique in the interference paradigm, with acceptable or unacceptable Chinese sentences and chord sequences ending with in- or out-of-key chords as the stimuli. In Experiment 1, the acceptable sentences ending with number-word-classifier-noun collocations became semantically and syntactically unacceptable when the sentence-ending nouns were replaced with verbs. In Experiment 2, a three-word-long relative clause was inserted after the classifier in each sentence. The participants were required to pay attention to sentence reading and ignore the audio playing of the music stimuli. The amplitude of N400 was significantly larger in the unacceptable than in the acceptable sentence condition on the last word in Experiment 1, but only for the regular chord sequences in Experiment 2. In the unacceptable sentence condition in Experiment 2, the amplitude of N400 was significantly smaller for the irregular than for the regular chord sequences. A similar pattern of interaction between the manipulated variables was observed in Experiments 1 and 2 on the amplitude of P600 on the last word. This study presents the first evidence to suggest neural resource sharedness by language and music at both semantic and syntactic levels. Semantic sharedness was observable when long-distance integration was necessary. Two distinct but interacting mechanisms appeared to be used in the syntactic processing in sentence reading and music understanding.

在干扰范式中使用事件相关电位 (ERP) 技术对一组以中文为母语的人进行了两项实验，以可接受或不可接受的中文句子和以键内或键外和弦结尾的和弦序列作为刺激。在实验 1 中，当句子结尾的名词被动词替换时，可接受的以数字-单词-分类词-名词搭配结尾的句子在语义和句法上变得不可接受。实验二在每个句子的量词后插入一个三词长的关系从句。要求参与者注意句子阅读，忽略音乐刺激的音频播放。N400 的振幅在实验 1 的最后一个词上在不可接受的句子条件下明显大于在可接受的句子条件下，but only for the regular chord sequences in Experiment 2. 在实验 2 的不可接受句子条件下，N400 的振幅对于不规则序列明显小于规则和弦序列。在关于最后一个词的 P600 振幅的实验 1 和 2 中观察到操纵变量之间类似的交互模式。这项研究首次提供了表明语言和音乐在语义和句法层面共享神经资​​源的证据。当需要长距离集成时，可以观察到语义共享。在句子阅读和音乐理解的句法处理中似乎使用了两种截然不同但相互作用的机制。不规则和弦序列的 N400 幅度明显小于规则和弦序列。在关于最后一个词的 P600 振幅的实验 1 和 2 中观察到操纵变量之间类似的交互模式。这项研究首次提供了表明语言和音乐在语义和句法层面共享神经资​​源的证据。当需要长距离集成时，可以观察到语义共享。在句子阅读和音乐理解的句法处理中似乎使用了两种截然不同但相互作用的机制。不规则和弦序列的 N400 幅度明显小于规则和弦序列。在关于最后一个词的 P600 振幅的实验 1 和 2 中观察到操纵变量之间类似的交互模式。这项研究首次提供了表明语言和音乐在语义和句法层面共享神经资​​源的证据。当需要长距离集成时，可以观察到语义共享。在句子阅读和音乐理解的句法处理中似乎使用了两种截然不同但相互作用的机制。这项研究首次提供了表明语言和音乐在语义和句法层面共享神经资​​源的证据。当需要长距离集成时，可以观察到语义共享。在句子阅读和音乐理解的句法处理中似乎使用了两种截然不同但相互作用的机制。这项研究首次提供了表明语言和音乐在语义和句法层面共享神经资​​源的证据。当需要长距离集成时，可以观察到语义共享。在句子阅读和音乐理解的句法处理中似乎使用了两种截然不同但相互作用的机制。
