•Distinctive grammar class processing was studied in a pseudoword paradigm.•Pseudowords were examined with electroencephalography and lexical decision task.•Grammar class processing differs at both, neuronal and behavioral level.•Pseudonouns and pseudoverbs differed in language and attention-related ERPs.•In behavioral task pseudoverbs elicited shorter reaction time latency.
When the semantic properties of words are turned off, such as in pseudowords, the grammatical properties of the stimuli indicated through suffixes may provide cues to the meaning. The application of electroencephalography (EEG), combined with the pseudoword paradigm, allows for evaluating the effects of verbs and nouns as linguistic categories within the time course of processing. To contribute to the ongoing discussion regarding the functional processing of words from different grammatical classes, we conducted an EEG experiment, followed by a behavioral lexical decision task (LDT). The EEG and LDT indicated different neural and behavioral reactions to the presented grammar classes, allowing for a deeper understanding of the neuro- and psycholinguistic dimensions of grammar.
