| Abstract | The study examined N400 from word and sentence under different levels of semantic anomaly
among monolinguals and bilinguals using electroencephalogram in order to reveal the nature
of N400 and understand bilingual semantic processing. The N400 generated from word and
sentences processing by monolinguals and bilinguals were compared in amplitude and spatial
aspects. A total of 12 Cantonese-English bilingual and 13 English monolingual adults
participated in a word-and-sentence reading experiment with their EEG signals online recorded.
The words and sentences had different levels of semantic anomaly. Significant differences in
amplitude of N400 between words and sentences processing was found, so as stimuli with
different semantic anomalies. No significant differences in the amplitude of N400 between
monolinguals and bilinguals were found. The results supported the semantic access theory of
N400 and the nonselective theory of bilingualism.
