We focused on Basque, a verb-final ergative language with both subjecteverb (SeV) and objecteverb (OeV) agreement. We compared the effects of SeV agreement violations on comprehenders' eventrelated brain potentials (ERPs) in transitive sentences (where OeV agreement is present, and the subject is ergative) and intransitive sentences (where OeV agreement is absent, and the subject is absolutive). We observed a P600 effect in both cases, but only violations with intransitive subjects elicited an early posterior negativity. Such a qualitative difference suggests that distinct neurocognitive mechanisms are involved in processing agreement with transitive subjects (which are marked with ergative case) versus intransitive subjects (which bear absolutive case). Building on theoretical proposals that in languages such as Basque, true agreement occurs with absolutive subjects but not with ergative subjects, we submit that the early posterior negativity may be an electrophysiological signature for true agreement.This work is supported by PSI2015-67353-R from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation and ERC-2011-ADG-295362 from the European Research Council to MC.Cortex201820182018info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10810/24546reponame:Addi.
