Every cell of the human organism is subjected to a regular oscillation over day time. Some modules like the heart, the lungs and the liver are regulated by oscillators of their own. These are stimulated by signals sent out from the central inner clock, the supra chiasmatic nucleus (SCN). The research project "ClockWork" tries to find by experimental methods if higher cognitive functions do also feature a circadian rhythm and if so, whether the language module has a specific clock of its own, as well. Our study investigates this issue at the level of syntactic processing. In more detail, we will test whether a prominent parsing principle for filler-gap-constructions, namely the Active-Filler-Strategy (AFS), is sensitive to the circadian rhythm. The results could have consequences for diagnosis and therapy of patients who suffer from speech and language impairments.
