Resumo

This article discusses an Event Related Potential known as the P600 with the aim of understanding the syntactic processes elicited by this component. The P600 is found in cases of syntactic violations, ambiguous sentences and in cases of long-distance dependencies. I show that a fine-grained understanding of the syntactic operations involved in the conditions in which the P600 appears can help determining the syntactic processes (and sub -processes) that modulate this component.
