Response time<br />

• Some of the speakers who assigned the case and argument<br />
structure of the priming verbs took an unusually long time to<br />
respond<br />
– It makes perfect sense that assignment of case and argument<br />
structure on the basis of a low-level verb-specific construction<br />
takes longer time, as it involves retrieval of a concrete formmeaning<br />
mapping and the assignment of a form on the basis of<br />
the meaning component<br />
• Some of the speakers who assigned the Nom-Acc construction<br />
simply rattled off their responses in no time<br />
– It makes perfect sense that assignment on the basis of a highlevel<br />
schematic construction will take shorter time as, only<br />
relational meaning is involved<br />
