|Tesia 2007ko uztailaren 5ean defendatu zen. Tesi honen helburua jaiotzezko hiztunek eta euskara hiru urterekin ikasten hasi zirenek nola prozesatzen duten aztertzea zen. Lan honetatik atera ditudan ondorioak bi dira nagusiki. Lehenik eta behin, jabetze-adinak berebiziko garrantzia duela hizkuntza prozesatzeko garaian erakusten dut. Izan ere, egindako esperimentuetatik abiatuz, euskara bigarren hizkuntza dutenek ez dutela kasu ergatiboa ama-hizkuntza dutenek bezalaxe prozesatzen erakusten dut. Bigarrenik, osagarri-aditz komunztadura eta subjektu-aditz komunztadura ez direla berdin prozesatzen argudiatzen dut. Aurkikuntza hauek garrantzitsuak dira hizkuntzaren teoriarako, alde batetik nabarmen uzten dutelako jabekuntza adinaren garrantzia hizkuntzaren zenbait alderdi prozesatzeko garaian, eta bestetik, datu berriak ematen dituztelako kasu eta komunztaduraren prozesamenduari buruz.The purpose of this dissertation is to carry out a comparative analysis of the language processing of native and non-native speakers of Basque. The conclusions of this work are twofold. First, I show that the age of acquisition plays a crucial role in the way the language is processed. The results obtained from native and non-native Basque speakers by the ¿self-paced reading time¿ and ERP methods show that both groups process language differently. More concretely, the results lead to conclude that agreement and case in Basque may be acquired at very early stages (before the age of three). Secondly, I analyze in detail the processing patterns of agreement and ergative case violations. I focus mainly on Direct Object-Verb (DOV, henceforth) agreement in Basque, which shows a different processing pattern from Subject-Verb (SV) agreement, an unknown fact up to now, posing a problem for linguistic theories that treat SV and OV agreement alike. In addition, since the electrophysiological response to ergative case violations is also different in native and non-native speakers, I suggest that processing of case is strongly depending on age of acquisition. Finally, I discuss the fact that our experimental data challenge certain theoretical assumptions about how agreement and case are licensed.
